Verbal: By strengthening my reading comprehension and vocabulary, I found the verbal test materials to be a breeze, so I stopped practicing those in lieue of focusing on speed reading and vocab. I'm not sure if that answers your question, but I can't really compare the practice tests with the real thing only because I didn't take many of the verbal ones.
Hey, I can say that I thought the Princeton Verbal was ridiculously out of scope. Lucubrious? Really? The first word on the test? I have yet to find that one in any dictionary. Save yourself some heartburn and stick with the Big Book. Those tests were much more in line with what you'll see. And definitely do cover the free ETS materials.
Quant: I read what somebody here said about Cambridge Review and would agree that those tests were most like the ETS ones, in terms of difficulty than anything else. Of course, the ETS PowerPrep tests are really the best indicator, but sadly, there are only two. Again repeating another poster's comment, you will still see unique questions on the GRE, but if you can do well on the Cambridge Review practice tests, you should do well on the GRE.
Hope it helps, and good luck!
