 Useful for quick and extensive GRE preparation November 20, 2009
R. Cavalcanti
Barron's gives you the needed basics when it comes to vocab and math part of the GRE. Its list of words is quite extensive and the mathematics review is useful for those who have been distant from math for a while. I did however find the Essay section a bit dry. It could contain more examples and more interesting tips. A good point to note is that it contains two full tests and a diagnostic test, giving you the chance to see where your weaknesses lie. All in all, it will help you prepare yourself and will give you the needed tools to succeed.
Will please any serious student determined to make full use of the 18th edition's many resources November 17, 2009
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
The 18th updated edition of a leading test preparation guide offers the latest review and practice tests available in a title offering two full-length model tests plus a diagnostic, subject review sections, and a comprehensive subject review of all GRE test topics. Students studying for the exam will find this a key to success, and it's a top pick for any library catering to GRE students. An edition that includes two additional computer-adaptive tests on CD-ROM will please any serious student determined to make full use of the 18th edition's many resources.
Barron's GRE (18th Edition) October 19, 2009
Julia Gulia (San Diego, CA USA)
This book didn't come with a cd-rom, so I can't comment on that. The book was very helpful, though. It offers some good testing strategies and tips. The math examples are also pretty good in the variety of questions that are shown. I just took the GRE general exam and saw a problem identical to a practice problem in the Barron's book. The "Math Review" material is concise, covering general ideas and trends found in the GRE. If you are looking for an extensive math review, I probably would supplement this with another book, or look for another book altogether. There are only 2-3 full-length practice exams offered, which also might be a problem for some people, but you can find extra practice exams on the GRE website.
was just good!!! October 17, 2009

Pay attention to the fact that this edition doesn't come with the CD.
Otherwise, the material is a good start.
