I agree and think that the practice problems in the NOVA book are more similar to the real GRE than the other books you list.

The Kaplan book is ok, but a lot of the problems are too easy if you want a very high score. I have that book.

I have heard that the GMAT/GRE math practice book by Kaplan actually has a higher difficulty level.

I think the Princeton books are good for strategies, but you need trickier material to practice on.

thanks alot for your help, may i know what is the name of the NOVA book? It is because I live in Hong Kong and I haven't heard of this publisher. Do you have the name of this book to practise my math?

Thanks.

The book is available for free on the Internet, but I don't think it's fair to post that link. As a result, I'm giving you the link to the Amazon web site.

Once you learn to do the types of problems in the Nova book, see how fast you can do them. Eventually you should learn to do the problems fast.
