I'm wondering if this GRE prep book was maybe a waste of money: I've taken most of the sample tests and the recent scores are about the same as the first. Also I'm deeply distrustful of preparation guides in general. I got one out of the library the night before I took the SAT, earned high 1500s on two sample tests and went to bed happy. I got I think 1370. Not the end of the world but the library deserved its money back. Also the questions I'm missing in this GRE book are too frequently equivocal or insane, esp. the ones for Reading Comprehension (my personal trouble area, apparently); I hope against hope that these aren't representative of the actual exam. Clearly my vanity plan of drilling my way to 1600 won't pan out; but my position's precarious enough given my education history that I need to score as high as I'm capable of. Anyone who's gone through this have any tips?

I think I agree, in hindsight. We used that and another book, a gold one, and the gold one was misleading--especially its software.
