Official GRE Value Combo (ebook bundle)

I am really pleased with this book combo. These were the only resources I used to study for the GRE, and my scores for Verbal & Quantitative Reasoning were both in the 160's (max score is 170 for each section).1) The books were formatted well, easy to use, and the mixed practice problems give you a really accurate view of what the actual exam will look like. There are detailed explanations of the answers to help you improve how you arrive at your answer choices.2) The books prepare you for what the computer-based and written exams will look like when you go to take them. I felt like I had a really good idea of what to expect and how to navigate the computer testing system. They also gave me great tips about test scoring, "Marking" problems I wasn't sure about and using the "Review" function to go back and check my work. This really helped me manage my time and answer the most questions.3) I found the QR book particularly helpful. It gives you many strategies in your tool belt for how to approach a huge variety of problems. If you are on a tight budget and can only afford one of the two books, I would recommend focusing on the Quantitative Reasoning. Honestly, I found the practice problems in the book more challenging than the actual test questions--which is GOOD, since you are on a pretty tight time limit for completing the test. I probably would have done fine on the Verbal Reasoning section without studying, but I would have been lost on the Quantitative section without this.4) The VR book also has a short section at the back to help with your Analytical Writing section of the test. I wish I had spent a little extra time reading the examples given and practicing writing my own essays with a time limit.TL;DR - I am SO glad I bought this. Very worthwhile.

I purchased this set for my gf who's preparing applications for master's programs. They are prepared by the official testing agency ETS, so the practice exams are real and drawn from the past exams. I would recommend it with supplement materials like Magoosh and Barrons' practice tools.

vocab book definitely helped, I killed that section. The math is pretty useless, but that is more a Test issue than a book issue. Book can't prepare you for the random NONSENSICAL "math" on the test, they don't and can't. The test expects you to just know by memory WEIRD tricks like how to do 3^100-3^97 in your head in 45 seconds because you don't have a real calculator and the on screen one is useless... Who EVER has to do that?? NO ONE.. I Aced Calculus 1,2,3 and Diff Eqs getting 100s on most tests... But you want me to know how many prime numbers are in the factors of the ones digit of 3^100 - 3^99 in less than 60secs and no calculator... that is SO USELESS... And the book does NOT give you anything useful for stupid questions like that.. Still, the issue is with the morons writing the test more than the books inability to teach useless information NO ONE EVER NEEDS TO KNOW.

Good materials for GRE prep if you're new and aiming for above average results. The practice questions are on the easier side compared to the real test questions, so if you're looking to get a perfect score on your second try or something then look for alternative prep materials.

After studying with the Manhattan Prep GRE series, these final books were 100% necessary. Don't skip the practice tests and problems from ETS. Manhattan Prep is great if you haven't seen math in a really long time, but ETS gives you practice questions that are much, much closer to the actual GRE. I don't think I'd invest in the ETS super pack because these two cover what you need with practice questions, etc. There are a few errors on the questions, but if you've studied well, it's not too annoying. I got into the B-School I wanted. :)

Compared to Kaplan, these books helped the most with test content rather than test-taking strategies. The AWA section was AWESOME - gives lots of examples and thoroughly explain how you should outline your essays. For reference, I got 150Q, 148V, and 4.5AWA. Can't complain though because I got into my top choice of grad school!

A lot of the information about the exam is on the GRE website. After having already taken the exam, the questions with solutions were very helpful in studying for the exam and were similar to questions I had on my exam (similar concepts, not same exact questions).

These ETS books are obviously the best choice for anyone looking to take the GRE. No other company is allowed to write questions very similar to the actual type of questions you'll see, so getting it straight from the source is a great opportunity
