Official GRE Quantitative Reasoning Practice Questions, Second Edition, Volume 1 2nd Edition

hi guys,I've been a GRE tutor since 2008, so I write this review from that perspective.The 150 math questions in this book are valuable, since they're written by ETS, the company that creates the GRE. They're much, much more realistic than questions written by other companies. For that reason, using this book is an important part of successful GRE prep.I also recommend buying the other two official ETS GRE books: the Official Guide, and the Verbal Reasoning Practice Book. They're sold together as the "Super Power Pack". The experience and insight you gain from authentic ETS questions is really valuable, and even though the books don't offer a whole lot more than practice questions, they're still essential.In my study plans, you'll find all my GRE prep recommendations.

I used this book to prepare the quantitative reasoning part of the GRE and after taking the test I can say that I totally recommend it. I was worried about the degree of complexity of the exercises and my ability to solve all of them in the 35 min allocated. The book contains exercises of a very good level, higher of what you will find in the first quantitative section (the second is chosen accordingly to your performance in the 1st part). I used other 2 books for the quantitative part (Barron's and one more) and the problems from this book had the highest level. I got the score I was pursuing. Obviously commitment and time is a must, the book has no magic tricks or recipes for fast succes.

Great study guide. Very complete and explanations are easy to understand. Used this with one of my students who had great success on her test.

For me it worked very good and helped me have a high score on quantitative, I however would have preferred a book with more problems, i had to fulfill this need with another book.

This is a great book. I haven't had time to work though much of it, sadly, but I have read the section introductions and worked on some problems. If I don't pass the GRE, I will be going back and really working through this book.Each section has a great introduction to each part of the test and the kinds of problems you will find in it. I like that it has tons of practice exercises, along with long explanations of the answers. The general math review in the last chapter is also super useful. I haven't had math in years.

I’m disappointed with this 2nd edition of the "Official GRE Quantitative Reasoning Practice Questions". I was hoping for a serious update with more and newer practice questions.However, this edition is essentially the same as the 1st edition. The only difference I’ve been able to find so far is reformatting and minor revisions to “Appendix A: GRE Math Review” on pages 139-228.All of the actual GRE practice questions appear to be identical. ETS certainly has more recent retired questions. Why not release them to help test-takers prepare?All that said, this book is one of very few resources that contain retired questions from the test maker and people studying the GRE should certainly use either it or the nearly identical first edition.

Walks through every type of quant problem. Used this before retaking the GRE because I needed to boost my quant score by 5 points

This book was really helpful. I recommend you to do practice questions from this.
