lenz Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Hi all, I'm planning to buy the book published by ETS....I suppose currently it is named as 'GRE: Practicing to Take the General Test'. And the current edition is 10 with ISBN 0886852129. I would like to know that, is this the book I should buy or there is some other book published by ETS? I'm little confused since it does not say 'Big Book' anywhere. And also, if the sample question papers from this are worth practicing. Please guide me.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out this link for some information: Buy the GRE Big Book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenz Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Thanks Erin..I was confused between this book and the one I mentioned. However, this 'Big Book' was published by Warner Books; edition (October 1995). But GRE was revised in sometime back(october-02). So I was wondering is this the latest version or there is some other latest version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anandha Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Lenz, The book that you are mentioning is not the GRE Big Book, it is the GRE General Practice test. The big book is different. It is 5-6 times thicker than the GRE 10th edition book. I have both of these books. The GRE big book is amazing and actually it tells you which questions are outdated etc. Regards, A-Nandha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dog 04 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 So where can u buy the big book ? I only have Kaplan and Dummy's and feel I need more. Is it available on amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the good witch Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I think the best combo is the GRE big book together with Barron's. Barron's has an *amazing* vocabulary list - all you need to know in terms of vocab - and also has really challenging math q's that will raise your math ability substantially. I myself used the GRE "small" book (the 10th edition practice guide), but wish I had gotten the big book. So can you buy it on Amazon? Good luck! -goodwitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Yes, you can buy the Big Book on Amazon. It's been out of print for years, so you'll be buying an old copy, but it's still a great resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betech Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Does the GRE General Practice test (Oct 2002) has "later" GRE tests as compared to the GRE Big Book (oct 1995) tests,as the latter is older edition ? Plz clarify (Iam a bit confused)! Also,which one would be a better bet, The Big Book or the GRE General Practice Test ? Plz advise ! Thanks !

vineetgsvm Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 hi there, don get perturbed, if u can gt big book (and ofcourse the time)u shud practice it , as it's the compendium of actual tests conducted by the ets and better than any other book save the new 2002 edition general book. jus evaluate according to the time left for ur gre exam . becoz big book has 1084 pages 27 actual tests i.e 54 sections of verbal and quantitative so jus calm down and think over and don panic. gud luck vineet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
