Warning: CD-ROM does NOT work for Macs.......2006-09-27

Kaplan's test strategies are decent, and since the GRE is computer-based test, I bought this book primarily because it comes with a CD-ROM of practice tests. As an educator, I know that it's crucial to practice under test conditions. I thought this book was the answer, except that the disc is for Windows only! This is the 2007 edition, and I'm very dissatisfied with the useless coaster this book comes with--it would have been halfway decent of Kaplan to include a disclaimer somewhere on the cover or in the Amazon description informing the buyer that they chose to ignore a significant (and ever-increaasing) segment of the population, known as Mac users.

I also bought the 2006 edition of Barron's GRE test prep book, and while they do have a disc that works for both PC and Mac, it only works for Mac OS 8 (!). Apparently, the people making these study guides think that Mac users are not applying to grad school.

A Review that's Real.......2004-08-30

First, you might note the 5 stars and assume I'm trying to inflate Kaplan's reputation, or even work for Kaplan.

Let me start by saying I think Kaplan's operation is more or less a scam, preying on those who lack the confidence and guidance to study on their own. I nearly fell into the trap, and cancelled my approximately $1000 Kaplan course the last second.

That decision led me to get 90th percentiles in both Math and Verbal, w/a combined score of 1360.

This review is written for those who want to know how to do that, and aren't standardized test wizzes. Although I made my position clear on Kaplan's overpriced course, make no mistake: the Kaplan Book + CDROM is *very good* -- I could NOT have achieved my score without it. My prep schedule includes:

-the Kaplan GRE Book (Quantitative and Verbal Sections). I wanted to get a feel for the test and not dive into problems. Kaplan does an excellent job showing you math techniques that work again and again, such as "doing the same thing to both sides" and backsolving (plugging in). This technique works for half the problems on the real thing.

-I proceeded to the Kaplan practice tests (in the booklet). After this, I got a pretty good feel for the types of questions.

-I moved onto the CD, which has 6 full practice tests (both Quantitative AND Verbal), and 3 full adaptive CATs. The CATs predicted me at a little BELOW what I got on the real GRE, so don't fret if you're seeing 400's, especially on the verbal (got a 610 on the real verbal, which is 90th+ percentile).

-After exhausting the Kaplan book and CD, an equally high-quality and INDISPENSIBLE prep tool was ETS's PowerPrep software (www.gre.org). Like Kaplan's CD, it has a practice section full of exercises, plus two additional CATs. Also like Kaplan, it UNDERESTIMATED my scores, putting my quantitative at 720 and verbal at 550 -- on the real one, Q was 750 and V was 610.

-After these two materials, I felt mentally prepared for the test. Whether you want to fish around for more materials is personal preference. I personally am not the greatest standardized test taker, so I used (lightly) other sources like princetonreview.com, California's Berkeley GRE Prep (do a google search), and the prep materials on GRE's own website.

If you follow these steps, you WILL see results. To gauge for error, here's a little background about me:

I'm a 4th year Computer Science student -- being in engineering, I've had extensive math, but that does NOT mean I would automatically do well on quantitative. GRE Quantitative is VERY different from "school math" and it takes practice, practice, practice.

For the verbal, I practiced all the question types using the sources above, as well as Kaplan's word list on the CD-ROM and book. It definitely helped, but what unfortunately ended up helping more was growing up in the U.S. and simply speaking English -- which I think is unfair for foreign test takers. Again, practice practice practice.

BOTTOM LINE: if you're in a comparable position as me, i.e. in school or not out of school for too long, the above strategy is golden. However, I know a lot of you are "coming back after 30 years" and the like -- a different preparation strategy is necessary to refresh math concepts and test taking skills. GRE.org has an excellent math review for that.

Good luck in tackling these mindless tests that us academics must endure. Remember, you're better prepared than most.

Excellent software, but the textbooks is a bit useless.......2004-08-27

I was really impressed by the software (3 cat tests, 1 diagnostic test, many excercises, advices and so on).
So, if you want a sofware for your training, which is not a bad idea since the GRE is computer based, go for it.
However, the textbok is not good: you can read it in no time because there is not much to read; the math review is rather brief and simple; and if you need a good verbal training, you should buy Kaplan GRE Verbal Workbook...
Therefore, if you need a textbook (not software preparation kit), you should go with Barron's.

Make sure to have another study guide.......2004-08-14

I used the Barrons and Kaplan study guides to prepare for the GRE. Of the two I greatly preferred the Barrons. I felt the Kaplan questions, practice tests and overall quality of the material was inferior to Barrons. However, one could do much worse than use the Kaplan's guide, as I went through quite a few of the GRE books that are available at the library and bookstore, and in comparison to many others, Kaplans appears to be decent. Being in engineering, I stressed the math section and essay section and did not really take advantage of the verbal portions of the study guides, so I really cannot comment on if Barrons or Kaplans is better for that portion of the test. For the math section, it felt weaker than the Barron's, and the questions and practice exams seemed easier. For the essay, Kaplan's was ok with the sample essays, however a lot of example essays are also available through the downloadable sample test software off of the GRE website, and I thought those were better.

GREAT!.......2004-07-30

This book was incredibly helpful, and by studying out of this book for about two months, I was able to get a perfect score on the GRE's without taking any classes or buying any other books or study materials.

I memorized all of the word lists that they gave, and they also have a handy appendix in the back of the book with little math tricks for math that you might have forgotten or don't know the shortcuts for.

I also found the CD-ROM extremely helpful because of all of the practice tests and extra problems, in addition to the lessons. Although the interactive format was very cheesy at times, it still kept me more focused than if I were just reading through black and white pages of text in the book.

Definitely a great buy if you don't want to spend the money to take any of the expensive (thousands of dollars!) courses, but still want to get an amazing score!

Book Description

Philosophy Behind the Workbook

My philosophy is that there is a solution, for those of you who feel and experience lack or unworthiness in your life, year after year. Allow me to explain how this works.

Your thoughts create 'energy'. This energy carries feelings, and these feelings inspire us to take actions that either support our life style of: a) abundance and comfort or b) lack and worry. The energy you create for yourself comes from many sources, like: your breath, food, proper sleep, prayer, song, meditation, excitement from sports, nature, work, etc. You get the idea.

Over the years you drain yourself of your maximum energy by verbally giving it away. You do this by telling stories, stating your opinions, making judgments about yourself and others, making declarations about plans you are going to do (but never do), gossiping, focusing on negative news through the TV or other means. All of this energy is wasted away on dead-end lack thoughts and worry.

Your word is no longer law onto you. It no longer possesses the divine energy to materialize your comfort level or the feeling of abundance and love.

From the union of thought and emotion is the feeling to materialize. You need to embody a feeling. You attract reality with the energy you have stored up in your body. You are determining what you are going to experience, by the feeling you inject into your thoughts and that takes energy. That feeling has a divine spiritual identity similar to our soul and you are that feeling.

These principles apply to creating abundance. Money and abundance are also feelings. It takes a lot of energy to inspire yourself with enough enthusiasm, to feel worthy to receive.

Most of what needs to be healed for people in lack is, suppressed anger. All anger comes from loss. For example, when in a negative conversation, learn to be silent and do not inject your opinion.

Keep your righteousness and negative thoughts about the world and others to yourself. Keep the energy you have stored-up to yourself, until you bring it into reality. You will honestly find that with some discipline and vigilance, your power to create with thought and materialize doubles and redoubles will begin to manifest in your life. Store-up your energy. Guard it, as it is yours and is precious. Do not give it away recklessly. It's not free to waste. Verbally discipline yourself and establish a dominion over your own mind. In time, you will create the energy of self-love that attracts your receiving to yourself.

The sooner you give yourself permission to start feeling and receiving what it is you really want and desire, the more energy and determination you will have to go for it all.

Mary Frances Cook Book.......2005-10-10

Such a fun book for helping young children learn how to cook real foods. Unlike many children's cookbooks, this one actually involves useful cooking techniques. The recipes are simple and the story engaging. This is a gem for me to use when I have little ones around who want to "help" as we can find something for them to make that the rest of us really want to eat.

Book Description

As governments seek to mitigate the cost of state-subsidized healthcare, branding in the pharmaceutical industry has become a critical issue. Drugs companies must change their methods of communication and distribution--focusing more on their direct relationship with the consumer. This requires fundamental changes in consumer behavior, access to information, freedom of choice, and value for money. Brands and brand values will play a leading role in this process, as has been seen with products such as Prozac and Viagra. This book by Interbrand Newell and Sorrell, the world's leading branding consultancy, provides cutting-edge thinking on this area and lessons for anyone involved in brand development and management.
