BIG WARNING: The problem sets are arranged so that the first 20 or so problems are fairly easy. They are designed to make sure you have a handle on the concept. It’s only the last 5 problems or so that are actually similar in difficulty and feel to real GRE problems. DO NOT make the mistake of just working the first few problems in each section to see if you know how to do it. It won’t give you realistic expectations.

GRE Prep 2022, from Kaplan

The Kaplan book has the best balance between clear explanations of techniques and plenty of practice.

Like all the books out there, it has its share of errors, but it has less than most.

You can get the plus version, which has a couple of extra practice tests and some other offerings, like mobile access and videos, but, IMHO, all of that is not worth the extra money.

The Official Guide to the GRE General Test, 3rd Edition, from ETS

I used to not recommend this book because it seemed like so many of the problems didn’t even really feel like actual GRE problems. I’ve recently revised my assessment.

There are some great practice problems in here! Although, just like in most other GRE prep resources, there are some topics in this book neither I nor my students have EVER seen on the GRE.

In my class guide, I have a comprehensive list of exactly what’s on the GRE compiled by going back through actual released GREs, and by polling my students after they took the GRE to see if there was anything on their GRE that we didn’t cover in class. If they saw new material, I added it to the course!

Take a look here to find out more about my course and save days of GRE prep time by knowing exactly what to study.

Info and Materials from ETS

You can find everything that ETS puts out for GRE students here, including a list of all schools that accept the GRE, the official GRE bulletin, brochures, flyers, at-a-glance publications, and more! The Official GRE Test Prep At-A-Glance includes lots of free practice problems and resources.

ETS recently released the newest Snapshot of the Individuals Who Took the GRE® General Test. It gives loads of info on GRE test takers worldwide. Want to know what is the average verbal score for German females going into mechanical engineering or the average written analytical score for American males going into psychology? This will give you all that and more!
