Title: GRE Prep Aid
Review: I began studying with this test prep guide about 6 weeks before the exam. I studied up to three hours a night, covering the basic sections and dipping into the advanced sections, albeit minimally. I made note cards for vocabulary words I was not familiar with (and words whose meanings I did not know). In addition, I borrowed a friend's copy of Barron's Pass Key To The GRE, which is a slimmed-down version of the book I am reviewing. They did their job; I amassed a composite score of 1200 (no word on my essays yet).There is a CD that accompanies this book. ***Do NOT buy this guide simply because of the CD!!*** While there are computer-adaptive tests to practice with, many of the questions/reading passages are repeated.For the price of the books that Barron's offers, they are valuable study helpers. Stay committed to preparing for the test and you will have little to worry about. Best wishes to you.
