GRE Verbal Workbook (Kaplan Test Prep) Ninth Edition

The book had come in on time and in great condition. I was able to score high enough to get accepted in all the grad programs I applied to. I now have a master's degree. I'm a firm fan of Kaplan.

This book was decent for extra practice, but certainly not the best of the available options. I found the Manhattan Prep books to be much more helpful and they were geared toward asking the questions in the same format as on the GRE. Most of the Kaplan questions were not formatted like they are on the actual test.

Kaplan is really the best line of review/test prep books out there, imo. I've had some Princeton Review books in the past, but they were very poorly organized and FILLED with errors.

Book came used when ordered new. Pages and work were written in pen.

Good book if you study. If you don't study none of the book in the world will be good for you

This book really helped me prepare! I would order it earlier next time to have a little more time to prepare.

It was very helpful to me. However, the reading comprehension part is quite hard - just like on the real GRE exam.

The GRE is a daunting test, but workbooks can make you feel less nervous about it if you know what to expect. For a true replicate of what the GRE test is like, I would have to recommend purchasing the official tests from ETS because they are the official test writers and would provide the most accurate representation of the test.Other workbooks are great too, but the Kaplan verbal workbook falls a bit behind the competition. The exercises are much easier than the actual test and the questions found in the ETS official book, so it makes this Kaplan workbook almost worthless. There are some good sections, like the root words and vocab, but you can find GRE vocab on quizlet.I wouldn't use this book myself for prepping for the GRE, but it is not absolutely useless since it does represents all the easier questions on the GRE.
