Reviews Cracking the GRE, 2010 Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation) (Paperback)


3.0 out of 5 stars Relies on too much not so common knowledge!, December 17, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this review book based on the comments of others and for the most part I agree it is very helpful, however, the explanations they use to get you to understand how to do some of the math questions are just too simple and not easily expandable to the more complicated questions the GRE actually gives.
When they do provide more difficult examples they are not thoroughly explained and rely on information like "every know the square root of 169 is 13??" No kidding - see page 270. Other times they do not follow their own methodology in solving problems and some of their methods do not work on their own questions so they give you alternatives. How are you supposed to know when to use which?? Anyone's guess!
