I'm a Harvard graduate, 99% GRE scorer, and professional GRE tutor (16 years experience), and I'm fairly obsessed with this test. In fact, I still take the GRE at least once a year (last exam: 169V / 166Q / 6AWA).As many others have already indicated, you need these books because they are the real deal. After many years of receiving scant practice material from ETS, I am relieved to say that ETS has now provided enough official materials for a nearly full preparation for the GRE.I say "nearly" full because 2 CATs (computer adaptive tests) is not enough. The physical books are a nice asset, as are the paper-based practice tests, but for a computer adaptive test, you have to spend lots of time preparing on a computer. For this purpose I prefer to buy a book from the Manhattan Prep GRE series, in order to gain access to its 6 online CATs.Yes, the answer explanations in these books can sometimes be severely lacking, or in the case of the PowerPrep tests, nonexistent, which is part of why hiring a professional tutor can be helpful. However, for the disciplined and resourceful self-studier, the Official Guide to the GRE, these 2 supplemental guides, the 2 (invaluable!) PowerPrep II CATs, a good vocab guide or two (ahem), a strategy guide (avoid Kaplan) and some third-party CATs should do the trick.Don't forget to purchase the Official Guide, which has two additional paper practice tests, as well as more practice questions and a test overview. To save money, you can buy the Official GRE Super Power Pack, of which I've also written a very detailed customer review:
