Alexrey Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hey guys, I've just finished going through the Princeton Review study guide and will be moving onto the practice tests next. But before I go any further, I wanted to know how good Princeton Review is with regards to its Math prep section? I'm a Math grad so I'm pretty comfortable with the subject, but if there are any guides or example question websites/books that are very close to the actual GRE Math section I would love to know. Just as an aside, how good are the Vocab and AW sections in Princeton Review? Regards, Alexrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocab is ok, but the math section was too simple, I was very disappointed. I must say the best thing I used was the GRE official book and honestly that was probably all that I actually needed.

exploregre Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 One typo in my reply to your question: easing. Sorry for that, it will be easy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexrey Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hmmm, I'm thinking of going for Barron's or Manhattan for the Math, but I've also heard Kaplan is pretty good. Has anyone had experience with these? Manhattan claim that they can help you get in the 99th percentile but I'm highly sceptical about this.

Guest ||| Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I found the math prep in the princeton review to be on par with what was given on the actual gre test, that said the overall prep wasn't the best. Given that youre a math student though this might not be as much of a concern. The vocab though I felt was pretty solid, in addition to the words they provide I added another 400 or so and with that was more than adequetly prepared.

AdilB990 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I used Princeton Review for GRE prep. And i got the feeling that its questions were slightly on the easier side in comparison to the actual test. Personally, i strongly recommend not to rely completely on PR. Buy some other resource(s) as well, or try out Magoosh if you still have some time before the test! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
