Mark Twain
Great prep, especially math. This book is by far the best GRE prep book out there, and trust me, I've looked through Kaplan, McGraw-Hill (which is way too easy compared to the actual GRE), and the ETS prep book. This book has an incredibly strong quantitative review that is targeted for those who want to get the 800.Steve Williams
Most thorough prep ever!!! I had both the Kaplan and Princeton Review books. But the Nova GRE prep was by far the most thorough guide. Warning...this book is not for the weak...there's not a whole lot of white space in it. While princeton review is great if you want quick strategies, I think the Nova is best for those who really have the time to study for the GRE. Also in terms of difficulty, the problem sets in nova are more complex I think.. and the math is a bit more challenging.Leah Roberts
To all who had a part in writing the GRE Prep Course book. When the date to the test came around, I felt prepared. I got up at 4 AM on the morning of the test to drive 2 hrs. to the testing site. On my way, my car started to have problems. I called my mechanic uncle and he said the car wouldn't make it. I was passing the airport, so I pulled into a rental car place, rented a car and got myself there with minutes to spare. Two hours late, I got my scores: 240 points higher on my math!Mark Twain
