Negative Positive
Title: Very useful book
Review: I prepared for the GRE General exam using only this book, and I am very satisfied with the results. The best part about this book is the extensive vocabulary review section: they have identified 300 words that they feel occur very often on GRE exams. I definitely think that reviewing the vocabulary section of the Barron's book helped me answer a few questions that I otherwise would not have known.I didn't open the CD-ROM though so I have no idea how helpful that is. If you are studying to take the GRE, I highly recommend going to the GRE's own website and downloading their PowerPrep software in addition to buying this book. That software includes two full GRE tests and a few hundred separate practice problems; unfortunately I did not download it until the day before the exam so I didn't get to use all of its practice tools. Additionally, for the essay portion of the test, they have a few sample prompts and sample responses, so you can see the level of writing they are looking for.
