I read this book to prepare for the GRE. It's not a good book, but I wanted to do well on the test. And I did. There's nothing more to say. I do not like the GRE test. No matter how good I am in mathematics or English, I need to study for the exam itself. This, I consider to be a waste of time and effort. But if that's what has to be done, I should go with it. I have already accepted as a Ph.D. student at Texas A&M University's program to study theoretical physics, but I don't want a problem to occur if, for any reason, I am not sent by Kuwait. So, I aimed to take this test to widen my horizons. Let's see what happens.

This is a great book if you just want to get a sense of exactly what you need to know for the test. But I suggest doing a lot of work beyond this book. I supplemented with a pack of vocab flashcards for the Verbal sections. And I used Khan Academy to learn Algebra and Geometry. I highly recommend using Khan in addition to the book. The test makers are constantly trying to trick you. Khan will help you know the material deeply enough to avoid that. I haven't taken a math class in about 8 years, so this was necessary for me. Memorize things like formulas, times tables, and perfect squares to save you time on test day.

Also, studying for Verbal is extremely frustrating and this is not a good test for people who think creatively or deeply. This book will help you get into the mind of the test makers. In the GRE world, there is only one way to interpret a sentence.

I have let studying for this consume my life and I'm still not scoring where I'd like to be. The GRE is not a measure of your intelligence, just of your ability to take a test, which is useless in every other part of life.
