fkrueg1 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has any up to date links or suggests any study guides in order to prepare for the quantitative GRE which I will take at the end of the summer. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkrueg1 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 i.e. Would getting these suffice?- GRE® Premier 2015 with 6 Practice Tests: Book + DVD + Online + Mobile (Kaplan Test Prep): Kaplan: 9781618656230: Amazon.com: Books http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Practice-Graduate-School-Preparation/dp/080412468X/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1431702777&sr=1-3&keywords=gre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantinity Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Just pay for Magoosh, you won't even need any books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santigarza Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Just pay for Magoosh, you won't even need any books. Totally agree! Magoosh is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libre147 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Power Prep 2 is my sole resource. It is free, from ETS, and contains a good amount of questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookworm510 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 If you do decide to buy supplemental books, get the Manhattan ones. Don't waste your time with Kaplan, the math practice in there isn't hard enough to improve scores at the level you'd need to be competitive for Econ programs. (Likely also true for Princeton Review, but I've never worked with that book personally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thagzone Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 If you do decide to buy supplemental books, get the Manhattan ones. Don't waste your time with Kaplan, the math practice in there isn't hard enough to improve scores at the level you'd need to be competitive for Econ programs. (Likely also true for Princeton Review, but I've never worked with that book personally) I did not use Magoosh, but other people seem quite enthusiastic about it. As far as books go, definitely do not waste your time with any quantitative study material that isn't Manhattan or the ETS-produced materials. In addition to the standard ETS practice book, they also offer a separate book of quantitative practice questions. The Manhattan 5-lb practice book has enough practice questions to make your eyes bleed and it's $20 (in the U.S. anyway). As bookworm mentions, all of the other quantitative study materials are not designed for people aiming for 90+ percentile and will under-prepare you.

iamelben Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 How is nobody mentioning ? So Keshwani is this ornery old Indian dude on Youtube who walks you through every single quant problem in the ETS official GRE study book (he's now completed the second edition). He's been my sole studying resource, and I swear to god, the man is some kind of freakish genius. The first 20 episodes of his series are basically a refresher of algebraic manipulation as he works through the problem, but then he actually starts to CLASSIFY problems and their iterations in a way where you can just look at a quantitative comparison and know how to manipulate it to get what you need. It would behoove you to check him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkrueg1 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Ok I'll also check out Keshwani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelForbin Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Magoosh + Manhattan for practice tests is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubrus Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 For what its worth I got 170Q and I used PowerPrep, ETS Quant books and those 5 exams at Manhattan. Studied for about 1.5 months. (But pretty intensely). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
