I was told on this site that these were good reference materials to obtain, as practice for the GRE. I replied with the questions at the bottom, but nobody returned my emails. Does anybody know the answer to these questions (1-5)?
Recommended materials:
- Official Guide (get the 2002 one…the 2007 one that’s just now coming out is for the revised GRE that they cancelled, so I don’t know what’s up with that!)
- Powerprep tests ( free on www.gre.org )
- Cracking the GRE from Princeton Review
- Word Smart for GRE if you need vocab help (the Cracking book has a “hit parade” list of most commonly found words on the GRE, but Word Smart is more in-depth)
If you need them, also get separate verbal and quant workbooks, but I’d start with the overall prep materials and then see what you need.
I have another question, actually I have multiple questions
1.) One of the recommended materials was the Official Guide 2002 edition. What version of “Official Guide”? Do you mean the Kaplan or ETS version or another version not mentioned?
2.) Do you know the ISBN # of the “Official Guide” book that you are speaking about? The ISBN # is the number located on the back of the book.
3.) The Cracking the GRE from the Princeton Review is a “complete” book. “Complete” meaning it covers all sections. The Princeton Review word Smart for GRE covers just words and their pronunciation. Wouldn’t it be better to cover the complete Princeton Review because it covers more material or just the Word SMart book because it covers specifically words?
4.) Also what Edition of Cracking the GRE from Princeton Review is the best? Should I not get the 2007 or 2008 edition because of the reasons stated ealier in this forum about the “Official Guide” 2007?
5.) Also, What years is the ETS 10th Edition of the Official Guide to the GRE?
