I really enjoyed using the Manhattan Prep set. I purchased this together with 5LB exercise to prepare for verbal. The book was written in a very positive and encouraging tone, and I felt like I was learning with a real instructor. I scored 167/170 after 1 month of intensive study. I did all the verbal exercise in Mprep, including 6 online tests, and I think it really helped.
I tutor the GRE, and I generally recommend the Manhattan Prep set of eight GRE books, of which this is one. As a stand-alone purchase, this book is a good resource for additional TC and SE practice, but overall, its question realism is lacking.I'll address the realism first. Now that ETS has published a verbal practice book, the need for Manhattan Prep practice material has diminished. Manhattan questions do not dependably capture the essence, nuances, and complexity of authentic GRE questions. Make sure you can do all of the ETS TC and SE questions in your sleep as well as being able to EXPLAIN them to a friend before you worry about supplementing.But I know some of you are hardcore. This book will be a good supplement once you're truly done with the ETS questions (so will the Manhattan 5-lb. book).Technique: Manhattan Prep's technique is good. Just keep in mind that the more you practice, the better you'll get, and the more you'll see how you have to adapt your technique at different times. Of course, real ETS verbal questions are the best teachers for this. In other words, Manhattan's TC and SC technique will work okay out of the box, but you'll want to refine it as you go.
It is a very helpful textbook to understand how problems are solved in GRE. For me, all the Manhattan Prep books for GRE became my bible. There are a lot of exercises for you to do and a very detailed explanation for each of them.
This is a decent book with plenty of useful exercises. But I have to admit I don't really like Manhattan Prep's writing style. There's something a bit "sour" about it. Princeton Review may be no better (or even worse) in terms of quality, but they do have a friendlier style of presentation. It has to be said also that Manhattan Prep does not grade your essays on the online exam. They give them to you under timed conditions, but you don't get any feedback. They need to start offering that service, and maybe they can outdo Princeton Review, who are incompetent in essay grading. They offer more free online exams with book purchases than Princeton Review does, which is good. Their materials are also rather more difficult, which could be good practice for the real thing depending on how you look at it.
I purchased the GRE Text Completion & Sentence Equivalence... This was a help to others I have talked with I have just begun working on this skill book but I am finding it is already helping in completion and comprehension. I’m very satisfied with the products quality and its performance. I try to test the product in the same conditions I will be using them in the future. I am in no way required to leave good reviews by either or the seller. The findings are my own. There has been no pressure on me to write anything other than my own findings. Thank you for reading my review I hope my experience has been helpful in making your decision.
