I'm beginning my GRE studies and I'm looking for opinions

All those books are useless

So how would you recommend I prepare?

I used the one by Kaplan when I studied and it was fine.

You do as many practice tests as you can possibly stand. You don't even have to buy the books, you can often find them in libraries (if your regular public library doesn't have any, check your local public colleges and universities).

I took the GRE last year, got bretty gud scores, and made it into a top-tier MA program with funding.

As far as books, you'll want a variety of them. Each book is written by a different author who will have different strengths/weaknesses in comparison to others. You mitigate getting taught geometry by a poor geometer by having multiple people teach you geometry, ya dig?

If you want to go hardcore, by a vocab app for your phone and study the top 100 words or whatever they'll test you. Take full practice tests only once per week (to avoid getting burnt out) under the exact same conditions the real one would be taken. Try to keep studying to a minimum (avoid burning out), something like 1-2 hours a day maximum; taper this off as the text day approaches.

I'll be going to bed in a bit but I'll stick around a little longer if you have questions about the test.

Too late, OP. I'm off to bed.

Just study for a few months ahead of time and you'll be fine. Use a variety of sources.

What's the best source practice exams? I.e. The ones that are most realistic and will be like the real thing. I'm assuming the ones from the ETS are good but what about the ones from publishers like Kaplan, Manhattan, etc.

you gotta go fast on the math part
