Really Worked

The book really works. Did considerably better on both sections after purchasing the book. Only studied it for 15 minutes per night.

Excellent

Book was in outstanding condition. It would have been nice if it came with a CD-ROM, but it came i nexactly the same condition as it was described.

About as expected.

First off, I received a 800 Math and 590 Verbal on my GRE (still waiting for my writing scores), which is just fine as I'm going into Electrical Engineering. Why did I buy this? I was looking for a cheap book that would give me some added practice beyond the free material provided by ETS. Did it meet my low expectations of these sorts of books? Yes. How low were my expectations? After buying books like these for the ACT, SAT, some subject tests, and now the GRE I've noticed that they universally have some degree of errors and have varying degrees of correlation with the actual exams themselves. Although annoying at times, the errors really are not that important because you find them easily when you supposedly have an answer wrong but after checking you realise THEY are in fact wrong, generally by only something absurd like an added zero. Who cares! This is supposed to be practice for timing yourself, picking up some test taking tips, and to learn what sorts of dumb mistakes you tend to make. This is NOT supposed to be a source to relearn algebra from scratch or fill out your daytime-television vocabulary. If you're just a little rusty you'll be fine. I found the recommendations generally useful throughout the sections. I can't speak for the writing section though since I only read the beginning to understand the proper perspective and focus to take on it. The correlation between the practice in the book and with the actual exam wasn't perfect, but it was good enough. Make sure you take the ETS's REAL tests to calibrate your expectations and your studying. Overall I would recommend this to a friend.

Good Delivery and condition of book.

The book came in the mail promptly and it was in the condition as described.
