Best GRE Books

This book is one of the few that are good as a general guide. It is very user-friendly, pretty much covers all the aspects of the new GRE test, and the accompanying CD provides you with practice tests that simulate the real GRE test. Moreover, the content of the CD is complemented by the online contents that you have access to after buying the book. There are simply a lot of practice sets (1 in the CD and 5 more online), over 400 sample question-answers in the CD, and online questions and quizzes. This book may seem particularly useful to students who didn’t study in English throughout school and need to pay special attention to comprehension skills. The comprehension skills section is robust enough to guide students of any difficulty level, and the way the examples, tips, strategies, etc. are organized, you would probably feel more comfortable preparing with this book than the other ones available.

GRE Book - 2

This book may not be the best one around for the new revised GRE test, but it certainly covers all the sections of the GRE test, and provides enough questions to see you through the test. A word of caution though: blame it on the publisher’s carelessness or the limited time period before the new test, there are lots of errors throughout the book — especially in the math section where you would expect the least mistakes. Yet this book may take a place on your desk for the sheer amount of sample questions it provides you with. In fact, if you take into account the number of errors in the other available books, the huge amount of practice questions can be the actual redeeming feature of this book. If you can indeed overlook the silly mistakes, you would find that the book also has explanations for most of the questions. Whichever book you may follow as the primary guide, you may often feel the need for more exercises to help in your practice. Probably, you would like to keep this one as a side-book to serve that purpose.

Before going into the details, one thing should be cleared out about this book that this one is for fairly advanced students and may not seem very encouraging to all. Obviously, that does not mitigate its importance, but if you are looking for an overall guide to the test, you may need to take a look at the other books. In the vocabulary section, this book covers more than 3500 words which are crucial in understanding any Verbal Reasoning problems, despite the fact that the new revised GRE shifts focus from out-of-context vocabulary to real-life problems. The point is that you probably no more need to bother about antonyms and analogies, but knowing the correct usage of different words is equally, or even more, important in solving these problems. The book also provides enough examples of the new text completion and reading comprehension questions. Again in the Quantitative Reasoning section you may feel that the lack of proper explanations in some sections is intimidating, but if you have good knowledge of the basics of mathematics, you would probably love to solve the higher difficulty level problems. The bottom-line should be that if you know the basics, you can go for this book to level up yourself, but in case you want to start afresh, start with other general guides and keep this one for the final revision.

This is probably one book that would stand out in the list of similar books available. It is not designed specifically for the revised GRE test, but the amount of valuable resources it contains makes it an obvious choice to students willing to take their math skills to the next level. As the name of the book suggests, it reviews mathematical problems that are common to most standardized tests, but this book stands well above the level of other books intended for GRE in particular. As it is seen that students often expect better scores in the quantitative section of the GRE test, it is probably a good idea to start with this book which is already famed to increase students’ math skills successfully within a short period of time. The speciality of this book is that it is a good choice for students of any standard. It covers everything starting from the basics, and also provides a diagnostic test to help experienced readers to skip to the topics they need to review. Moreover, it contains a fairly large number of question sets that you can review, test and re-review easily and quickly.
