GRE study materials

[cowboyjoe]

Does anyone have a suggestion for decent study materials for the GRE?

Also, how much studying did you do?

For me the one that helped me the most was the kaplan book. Highly recommend

Ditto the Kaplan book. I did a lot of practice tests.

I also did the Kaplan. I never bought a study guide (How MM of me!). I just went to the local library and they had multiple versions of study guides to check out.

I studied quite a bit. I had to take it twice until my scores were high enough to get in where I wanted. I would say that I studied 2 hours a night for a couple of weeks. Maybe? It was a while ago.

I used the Barron's study guide because it was less expensive than Kaplan, and I thought it was a good guide. I worked my way through all of the math once and then just did a couple verbal problems, plus 2 full practice tests minus writing. I didn't study all that much because though my program is competitive, it doesn't weigh GRE scores very heavily - though I did well anyway. I found the verbal section much easier now because all vocabulary questions are given in context, so you don't have to know the exact definition of words anymore.

Good luck!

Ditto this. I did an absurd amount of practice tests and I found it very helpful. GL!
