Official GRE Super Power Pack, Second Edition 2nd Edition

Used this and got in the 90th percentile. Definitely worth the price. I feel like it set me up for success.*Please note I think the exam style has changed slightly from what the book offers but the practice is still good.*

An absolute help!!!

I received the GRE super power pack and it has been more than helpful in my studying for GRE. I recommend doing this and the GREG mat study program. This is an affordable and efficient method for studying for the GRE.

I ordered this as a new version but received one of the three books highlighted and with writing on it.

The three "power-pack" books are easy to follow and use for GRE prep from the company that provides the exam. The directions are clear in how to use the book, as well as how the test is administered. They are also thorough, but not overly complicated when it comes to the particulars of testing; it walks you through the what, why, and how of the test and its questions in a manner that puts the one studying at ease if the study period is greater than 8 weeks.

Easy to study with and follow

I purchased these as part of my overall study plan for the GRE. I had about a month to prepare, which is on the more expedited side of studying. I mixed this type of preparation with the Magoosh Vocabulary app (both on Android and iPhone) in order to just clarify and brush up on some vocabulary. I have always struggled with math so I knew I needed extra quantitative reasoning practice questions and explanations. I think I used the Quantitative supplemental book more than the main book to be honest. When I did a cold practice test (without studying) I scored about a 134 on the math section- so I pretty much got everything wrong.After studying with these materials and going on youtube watching Yaymath.org lessons on stuff I was really rusty on or things I didn't understand when they were taught to me back in high school to begin with, I was able to score a Quantitative 150 on the actual test - so I increased my score by 16 points in one month with using these books (luckily I'm going into social sciences at a top 30 ranked university so this is a decent score for what I needed). My verbal increased by about 3 points from my cold practice test, however that wasn't my main focus as I knew that I was going to get a competitive score regardless (I got a 161 on the actual exam if anyone cares). I've also always been a strong writer so my 5.5 on the exam was not surprising- I did not study for the writing part at all.All around I recommend this product because it has all the supplemental books you need no matter what your strengths are, and it's made by ETS so the question structure and type are all incredibly similar to the actual test. I also bought another book that wasn't made my ETS and I could tell the difference between the two quite a bit.

This material is OK. Each book in the package is useful on its own, but I wouldn't recommend buying the whole package. Between the main book and the practice booklets there is a significant amount of redundant or overlapping content. You end up paying quite a substantial sum for a fraction of original content in each book. If you just want practice problems, buy the two practice books. If you're looking for practice tests, you can get them for free when you sign up for the GRE online.That said, the most helpful aspect of this package is in the practice questions. The two smaller volumes have many practice questions and even answer guides in the back to show you how to reason through the question.Overall I would say this is overpriced for what you get, and ETS needs to do a better job of making sure you're not paying for the same material in multiple volumes.
