Great information, but no Mac compatibility

This was a very useful resource for me in preparing for the GRE. The tips and tricks, as well as the explanation of the test itself, came in very handy, and the practice questions were very useful. In addition, the "Common words" and "Kaplan's Math Hints" sections really helped me review the archaic or obscure sorts of things tested in the GRE. The website based test was pretty decent too, and gave me a better idea what to expect from the test per-se.

However, there's one major caveat: The software included is not remotely Mac compatible. Although the website works fine, the CD is basically a coaster for OS X users. You've still got the in-book practice tests and the one online one, but if you're really looking for practice tests, know that you might not have all of them that you're expecting.

So, if you're a PC user, I'd recommend picking up a copy. Mac users need to weigh the pro's and con's here. Regardless, as the guide says, the GRE is a game, and this book very nicely prepared me to jump through their hoops.

Paragon Preparation

Kaplan has to be one of the best test preparation products out there. If you are considering graduate school, I advise you to buy this product along with the following products: verbal workbook, math workbook, and vocabulary flash cards. Skim through the workbooks and establish a system to build your vocabulary with the flashcards. About three months out of your test session, use the Premier book. Also, I would practice with the accompanying instructional disk which is packed with valuable practice sets. About two-three weeks out of your testing session, I would focus on test strategy, focusing again on the tips in this product and finding what works when taking practice tests. Kaplan worked for me and it can work for you. If you have the opportunity, take a Kaplan practice test. They are often held at local colleges and universities. With the aforementioned Kaplan products and ETS Powerprep material (sent to you when registering for the GRE), you will have more than enough practice material. Having taken the GRE, I can attest to my step-by-step approach. Confidence and a winning attitude necessary to score well on the GRE result from a systematic approach. You will soon see the glass as being half full.
