O livro é ótimo, com diversas técnicas boas.
Porém, ele ensina as técnicas, e não deixa você as colocar em prática.
Você precisa treinar, treinar e treinar via uma outra fonte.

This book really lives up to its title - of CRACKING the exam; It is not about becoming a genius at algebra, or learning thousands of new words as much as it is breaking down the questions and reading between the lines to simplify the questions and better reason answers. With the tactics learned in this book you'll be able to quickly deduce answers, identify traps, and effectively manage your limited test time.

The book is overall surprisingly interesting and academically entertaining and is filled with sample questions to keep you alert and involved as you proceed through concepts (as well as thorough explanations of how they were to be completed.

Finally I recommend this book because it felt like it was well written for those who learned good math and verbal skills but have had them faded with a few years of school and work. With this book I was able to re-learn concepts sufficiently in a matter of reading a few pages and practicing a few exams.

2.0 out of 5 stars buone risorse online, pessima versione kindle
Reviewed in Italy on 21 September 2014

La preparazione che offre in termini di spiegazioni è molto semplificata e dà molti concetti per scontato, quindi se non si possiede già una buona conoscenza generale dei concetti di matematica testati, si trovano molte difficoltà nel capire fino in fondo come risolvere i problemi e il perchè di alcune risposte. Inoltre, i dati di molti esercizi sono diversi nelle domande e nelle relative risposte, lasciando lo studente spaesato. Errori che bisognerebbe assolutamente evitare, essendo un corso di preparazione dovrebbe preparare uno studente che non ha conoscenze sufficiente per rendersi conto degli errori presenti nel testo, e imparare da problemi risolti in modo sbagliato lo porterà a sbagliare nel test, e ad aver buttato via i suoi soldi per comprar questo libro.
Avendo comprato la versione kindle (ho usato però il kindle reader per PC e per Ipad) spendo due parole sulla inadeguatezza della resa digitale del libro, in potenza eccellente, bisognerebbe riuscire saltare dalle domande alle risposte cliccando sopra il numero della domanda, ma cosi facendo il più delle volte compare il dizionario o si gira la pagina o si evidenzia la parola, facendo perdere un sacco di tempo.
Le risorse online però sono davvero buone, non solo la possibilità di fare due test e abituarsi facendoli al formato computer, ma anche avere i risultati subito e anche i propri scritti valutati, con tanto di commenti e di consigli per migliorare.
In generale non è male come preparazione, ma potrebbe essere migliorato molto di più, soprattutto nelle spiegazioni.

5.0 out of 5 stars I used the Princeton Review for essay prep
Reviewed in the United States on 3 August 2015

I took the advice of another reviewer, Vince Kotchian, and bought both the ETS book and the Princeton Guide. I prepared for the Verbal and Math sections of the GRE with the ETS book and I used Princeton book to help me with the essays. I am not a very good extemporaneous writer so I was very worried about the essays. My practice essays prior to employing the advice consisted of about 3 poorly written sentences and a half complete outline; I felt doomed. But the Princeton advice, which may be a little simplistic for some, got me past my overthinking and jitters and gave me a plan that I was successfully able to execute on test day. I practiced the heck out of the essays, so it wasn't just the advice in the Princeton book that got a borderline great score, it was also iteration. Anyway, the book gave me actionable advice that led directly to improved GRE essays. YMMV.
