Princeton Review????

[dicapino]

Hello guys. I am a Nigerian Student, a relative of mine in the US just sent a copy of princeton, i originally got  one by Kaplan. Hope this book will be helpful? I am an Engineering student, so i have faith that the quant won't be that difficult, i am more concerned with the AWA and verbal, although i have been doing many issue essays and learning words ( magoosh, kaplan).

 

Anyone who has used it . hope it will be useful?

has no one on this forum used this book????

I used that book but found the Kaplan book to be a better resource.  However having more than one resource at your disposal is rarely a bad thing.

 

The biggest thing to remember on the general GRE for quantitative: there is no difficult math compared to what you are used to for your major.  The most difficult part of the quantitative reasoning portion of that test is deciphering poorly written or vague questions.

^ i have never seen a vague question on any gre practice test or on the real thing before.

there's tons of places on this forum where people have addressed the various forms of practice study guides, princeton review included. People are probably not responding because they know you can look at previous discussions instead. So, use the search engine to see what you can find. What I've heard is that the practice tests are a lot easier from Princeton compared to other types such as Manhattan. I thought the book was helpful--actually, I'm finding that most of the books say the same thing; it's just the level of difficulty of the practice tests that are different, apparently.

PR is the worst. I blame my abysmal Quant scores on it. Try something else like Manhattan or ETS.
