    Exclamation Don't buy GRE Secrets!

    This book is mentioned in another threat

    http://www.mo-media.com/gresubject/

    I've bought this book, and I have to recommend everybody not to buy this one. As soon as I read it, I discovered that I wasted 40$.

    Another victim.

    But you can get a refund! I bought a book from that guy a year ago, requested a refund, and got my money back. Try it.

    Question Re: Don't buy this book!

    I was thinking of buying a book from that guy too, but I changed my mind. What is wrong with the book?

    It's just hastily put together and not nearly as mature a product as the GMAT standards--Official Guide, Kaplan, Princeton Review, etc.

    Its not that it is hastily put together. That suggests errors. It isn't so much filled with errors as there is a complete lack of content. The material is absolutely useless. First, it gives you some study tips, which any good student should already know. Then it gives you the most paltry, basic, useless math outline. At least the guy isn't a total scam artist. His refunds are very prompt, but what I want to know is why he still sells the book? He has to spend more time giving refunds than it is worth.

    juphuy,

    Can I assume you mean the Math Subject GRE test? If so, buy the princeton review book and study it vigilantly. Anything else is a waste of time.

    Re: Don't buy this book!

    hi everyone,
    Thanks vvaann so much for sending me the materials. I got it this morning and it was a big shock for me. Like you said before, it was a stupid waste. Only 20 pages for formulas, and no exercises at all !!!. I also say: don't read it. Thanks to Dragonfinity for advising me the book. But I have no time from now for purchasing it. It's too late. Again, "Princeton review: cracking the gre math test" has ebook version???, that's is the only way I can do.

    Take care,

    Re: Don't buy this book!

    Hello!!

    Besides the "Princeton review: cracking the gre math test" (2nd edition is the latest right?), what other books are good?

    Also, any suggestions for books to help with the general test?

    Thanks.
