Recommended test prep books for GRE?

Got any other recommended books besides Princeton Review?

The thing about the GRE is you need to WORK PROBLEMS. Lots and lots of problems. It is important to learn test taking strategies and methods, but I think working the problems (and reading passages) is the most important part. For that I would recommend I book that is all problems and one book that is test taking methods. I think Kaplan also supplies these in addition to TPR. I don't really go outside those 2 brands so I can't tell you about others.


My GRE score was a 307-310 on the new grading system (probably 1070-1100 on the old scale) so hopefully I'm at least partially qualified to give you advice :p.

I sound like such a noob. What college are you going to?

I've studied a bit for the SAT and I (this coming school year) am a Sophomore in High School. Heard a lot about the SAT, nothing of the GRE.

Graduate Records Exam. Big scary test to get into Master's and PhD programs.
