GRE Books – Kaplan or Barron’s
By HSB
Confused about choice to book to study for GRE Exam? Here’s my take on the 2 of best choice of books available for GRE Exam preparation. I have used both Barron’s and Kaplan and have seen friends who used only Kaplan and Barron’s along with ETS GRE materials.
Kaplan or Barron’s GRE Book?
Using both books to prepare for the test and I find that Kaplan’s practice tests and exercises are not as challenging as the Barron’s GRE. Kaplan provides really good advice and strategies but I think that Barrons would give you a better feeling of what the test is like and practice problems are more exhaustive induces more problem solving attitude and thinking. If you have the opportunity, use both.

Hi,
I am planning to write GRE after 2 months. I took the Barrons diagnostic and scored 360 v and 800 Q. Normally, I am applying for a research assistantship position in USA, and I have agreed with the proffesor on many terms. I do have a sound GPA and strong references. Moreover, I am pretty comfortable with the quantitative part, and am certain to score well on that. My problem is the verbal section. English is my second language and my vocab. skill is not appreciable. I have started studying Barrons, but it is a way hard, for me, to cram all the word lists. However, I am stuggling day and night to do my best.
As I have only two months, I am thinking to switch to Kaplan for my preparation. Do you guys believe kaplan to be sufficient for the verbal part?
What do you advice me to improve my verbal ability with in two months in a way that will enable me score >600 on the verbal part.
I thank you in advance,

Hi there! Its a very useful resource for MS aspirants. I have 1 question here. I’ve completed my BE with 68% aggregate. But i had 12 back logs during the span of four years. However I’ve graduated in 4 years with a first class degree. Will these past back logs hamper my MS chances? I am yet 2 take up my GRE.
