This review is from: McGraw-Hill's 6 GRE Practice Tests (Paperback)
I bought the book for the NEW GRE. It was pretty good for it as there aren't too many released tests for the new GRE. However it is exactly as the title says, just practice tests for the new GRE. The explanations are kinda short, but the number of practice questions make up for it. As any good test takes knows practice makes perfect. Buy this book, but in conjunction with another one for optimal studying.

WAY easier than GRE test really is,

I agree with the other reviewer. All of the questions in all 6 of the test are really easy in comparison to the real test. I bought several different study guides, including books published by ETS (who creates and administers the actual GRE). All of the questions in this book are similar to the easiest of the easy questions in the ETS study materials.
It gets you used to the format, but definitely doesn't give you any idea of how you will really do.
So basically this book is a waste.

People say the best way to get a good score on the GRE is to practice taking the test. This book has good intentions in helping you do that, but the difficulty level of the problems in the book is too low. The actual GRE required the use of higher level vocab and math skills. This is not to say this book is a complete waste. The practice that it provides is very useful, but you can likely get the same practice off some of the other practice tests often provided in the back of other GRE books or even when you register for the GRE itself. Was it helpful? Somewhat. Would I purchase it again if I had to do it over? No.
