Rating  - Basic Guide With Tricks
Have used several testing prep products in the past, and have even taken a Kaplan course for a different test. Using this tool as a quick prep (less than 3 weeks) to take the test for a return to school from the working community, I did not find it as useful as other out there (i.e., Barron's prep book). I actually used it in conjuction with another test guide, and it turns out that I only referenced the Kaplan book occasionally. It does not offer as many prep questions, tutorials, etc. as do some of the other books. The Kaplan book provides mostly tricks and strategies to approach the questions. However, I did not use the CD that comes with it, so some may find that to be more useful.
Rating - Great!
It is an exteremly in depth and comprehensive view of the GRE. With its step by step teaching style, it is a MUST for any college student looking to continue their graduate studies. I haven't taken the exam yet, but I'm sure it has helped me!
Rating  - a warning concerning the CD-Rom
I am currently studying to take the GRE general exam and purchased this book used. I decided to purchase Kaplan products because it had the best reviews and many people felt the CD gave a very realistic impression of what the test is actually like. When I read the inside cover of the book, it explained that the CD access to Kaplan's "online companion" is limited to the original owner of the text. Since the used book I received had the CD still in it's original packaging, I thought I would still be ok. No such luck. Once I typed in the serial number, I received an error message telling me that this serial number had already been used. It is also important to note that access to the online companion expires six months after you register. The first few pages of the book explain that by registering the CD online you will have access to all of the GRE Premier Program components that are not in the book or on the CD; the diagnostic quiz, essay writing practice, mobile prep, online quizzes and links to Kaplan's best GRE information. If I would have realized this prior to my purchase, I would have spent the extra money on a new book. So, my words of wisdom: Don't buy this book used if you actually plan to use all of the benefits of the CD-Rom.
