Like the other posters, I'd recommend the Manhattan Prep series. I used number 7 and it was very helpful!

Id recommend visiting Magoosh; however if online tutoring isnt your thing, Id say the Manhattan, and Kaplan are the best. I studied both of them, as well as Magoosh.

No no I know, I am working with Magoosh for three weeks, all the videos are awesome, but I must say I don't really know what to do since I finished all their vids .. I am practicing just maths and I decided to focus on verbal the last week (since it's V is directly correlated to the words you know - at least for half of the exam) - my question is; are the Magoosh wordlists enough ? Because I am a bit confounded by all those different lists and I would like to focus on only one.

ha, sorry, I think I misunderstood your post. Anyway I personally don't think Magoosh wordlist is enough though. While they have good words, there also words that are not included in Magoosh questions that appear VERY frequently in Manhattan & Kaplan tests. I think if you're short of prepping time I highly recommend Barron's list of 333 high frequency GRE words to complement your Magoosh wordlist. There are many words in Barron's 333 list that appear in Manhattan word list , but Manhattan list has 1000 words (500 essential and 500 advanced) which is probably too many to be memorized in a very short time.
