GRE Manhattan 5lb book VS. Kaplan

[C_Chattra]

Hi all,

 

I apologize if this topic had already been discussed, but I was wondering if anybody could give me some insights on the comparison between GRE Manahattan 5lb book vs. Kaplan. I've heard good things about both, and can't decide on which one to get! Thanks a bunch!

Manhattan 5lb is very good for quantitative, but weaker for verbal. I recommend getting the 5lb for quant and then focusing on reading through more advanced material on your own for the verbal, versus buying a study guide for it.

Get the 5lb book.  Then go to Barnes and Noble with a computer, grab Kaplin off the shelf, use codes in book to download digital version of Kaplin GRE, use ten practice verbal sets for practice and any practice tests.  Read technical essays in scientific journals, mags, books, etc.  Read scholarly essays in Humanities injournals, mags, books, etc.
