GRE in 2 months - Preparing

[poissonpilote]

Hello all,

I'm a French student about to complete my BSc. in the UK next year, and wishing to apply to grad school in the US (computer science).

I have learned only very recently about all the intricacies of admission, and therefore I only have 2 months to prepare for the GRE.

Has anyone achieved good/great scores within 2 months or less? How'd you recommend to prepare?

Also, if anyone could give me the references to 2-3 books I could use to prepare efficiently, that would be very appreciated.

There are dozens of books available, and I don't want to lose money and time by buying and using mediocre ones. What are the few definite indispensable books?

Thanks

It's fine. Some people don't study at all.

Just take whatever time you want to study and take the test.

Everyone seems to like Barrons, and their practice tests seem to be harder than the real thing. It seems that the consensus choice for the most accurate practice exams are the ones on the Powerprep software put out by ETS.

Don't worry about your verbal score, just make sure you don't bomb the quantitative section. I used Barron's to study for both sections and recommend it. The math in there is harder than on the real test, so you'll be all set.

WordSmart for the GRE by Princeton Review, if you decide to work on your Verbal score. It's fantastic. Some people have told me they used AudioCD vocab builders in their cars.
