Good, but not the best,

This review is from: New GRE 2011-2012: Strategies, Practice, and Review (Kaplan GRE) (Paperback)
In my preparation for the new, revised GRE, I have used this book from Kaplan, Princeton Review's New GRE prep book, Barron's essential vocabulary, "30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary" by Funk and Lewis, and various dictionaries, Latin dictionaries, and various sources for word roots.
Essentially, it is impossible to find a single book that can fully prepare you for the GRE. I strongly prefer the Princeton Review book to Kaplan (see my review: Cracking the New GRE, 2012 Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation)), but no book should be used alone. Here is what Kaplan does well:
1.) Practice. Kaplan features 2 full tests (one in the book and one online via a serial number in the back of the book) and has plenty of smaller practice sets. The cumulative math sets, which are each 60-questions in length, are...Read more

NEW GRE: Strategies, Practice and Review
and
New GRE: Premier 2011-2012
I have not compared the online or cd-rom practice tests but the content of the book is probably 90 % shared.

This review is from: New GRE 2011-2012: Strategies, Practice, and Review (Kaplan GRE) (Paperback)
This is a great book to study from if you use it along with Barron's New GRE, 19th Edition (Barron's Gre). Using both books together helps to understand all the math concepts better. The Kaplan book alone is not enough as it glosses over certain math concepts and the Barron's book is not enough because it isn't organized or worded as well as the Kaplan book. You need both books to complete your GRE prep.
Other good GRE books you might want to have are McGraw-Hill's New GRE, 2011-2012 Edition (Mcgraw-Hill's Gre (Book Only)) and ...Read more
