NOT INDICATIVE OF ACTUAL GRADE!

Practice test one:
Score: Verbal: 506 Quantitative: 420
Practice test two:
Score: Verbal: 600 Quantitative: 480
Practice test three (3 hours before taking GRE):
Score: Verbal: 520 Quantitative: 500

(This had me an emotional wreck the day of the GRE)

MY ACTUAL First time GRE SCORES:
Verbal: 720 Quantitative: 620

My only belief is that this book and program is designed to convince you to buy the courses. That being said, the 30 minute math tests did make me feel like I had all day to do the quant on the GRE.

I'm not sure this helped me very much. I think I would've been better off just with a math review book.

AND it is full of typos at critical points. For example, in one QC test problem it says "Circle 1 intersects Circle 2 and EXACTLY two points" and the problem requires it to be intersected at exactly one point to be solved.

Spent an hour unsuccessfully trying to access the free online test

Don't buy this book for the online test. The registration code in the book didn't work. They sent another after I called. Then, after filling in several really annoying registrations forms multiple times (each time I logged in I had to repeat the same forms to "confirm" the information-and you have to fill out every annoying field!), another phone call and much frustration, I still haven't been able to access the free online test. Over an hour wasted. UGH!

Full of Errors

Supposed to be instucting us toward "flawless" GRE performance??? How can they charge that much for something with an inexcusable number of errors? I printed the corrections sheet from their website which covered only a few of the many errors in the book. In the section on "tricks" to doing GRE math problems, I found ways to solve the the practice problems that were missed in the answers section! (And I didn't do all that well on the math part of the test.) What does this tell us about the level of the people writing the answers?! Sorry, but it's just annoying! These people are making the big bucks off all of us!
