GRE Test Preparation Books
An Important Note on GRE Test
Books
We strongly advise all prospective grad school applicants to
purchase at least 2 books on the GRE (Graduate Record Examination). First, we
recommend an official guide from ETS (Educational Testing Service), the test's
author. There is a difference between the official questions you will be asked
on the exam and the practice questions contained in all other books.
Secondly, we recommend an "unofficial" guide since there is
indeed a way to study for this test and materially improve your score. The
better unofficial guides contain many time-proven test-taking strategies as well
as excellent explanations for the correct answers to the practice problems. You
will greatly increase your chances of receiving a higher test score if you are
armed with GRE test-taking strategies as well as actual questions from previous
exams.
The GRE is Now a Computer
Adaptive Test (CAT)
Since the GRE test has changed its format, we believe you should
also change your testing strategy and practice the test in its computer adaptive
test format. As a result, we highly recommend using the free
Powerprep Software from ETS and an unofficial guide that gives adequate
coverage to the test's new computerized format. We have worked with many clients
who regrettably have indicated that they wished they had prepared for the test
in the computer adaptive format. Please do not let this happen to you.
