experience with the ETS official guide for the GRE

[dicapino]

i am an international student. i got the ets official guide book and some manhattan and princeton materials. while reading through the official guide i checked all the vocab words used for the RC, sentence completion, sentence equivalence questions i noticed that the words are not as 'recondite' and 'byzantine' as those given in many test prep materials. It just an observation and it wont stop me from learning more vocabs, but i just hope prep companies are not making life difficult for test takers.
