Best book to prepare for GRE general & CS?

[ben^]

Hi,

I took the GRE general after a crash 3 days of work and it wasn't enough to get me accepted in the university I wanted...

V : 490

Q : 760

W : 3.0

I'm from Europe and English is not my native language (TOEFL iBT 98/120). I'm planning to apply again next year and I want to improve my scores in the general test, and take the CS subject also. What is your favorite support (book -available on amazon if possible) for general and especially for the CS subject test?

Best,

Take a look at this thread:

I've used this: http://www.amazon.co...68942336&sr=8-1

this: http://www.amazon.co...title_popover_0 and some Kaplan's book (you'll find it easily on amazon, just search for Kaplan GRE)\

By the way GRE scores alone cannot guarantee you admission to a science phd program so try to improve other parts of your application as well.

Just as a disclaimer I did terrible on the GRE, but didn't study for it nearly as much as I probably should have. That being said, I used the Kaplan GRE Exam 2009 Premier Program (w/ CD-ROM) book. Again, it didn't do much for me, but it looked like it had enough material in it that if you really use it to its best potential, it could help you out, especially for your V score.

I used this Kaplan program, as well, and I thought it was a great help.

I studied the ETS book and the Barron's book( which contains a list of 3500 words), I am neither a native english speaker( IBT 101/120), My general scores were as follows:

520 verbal

800 quantitative

3 AW

I took a physics GRE and my score was 990.

these scores were enough to get me in the school that I love!
