KAPLAN is the BEST, but I have issues with AMAZON service AMAZON service is the worst in SHIPPING. Any other place we get the iteam in 1-2 days max for FREE. I mean what's the use of getting a urgently needed item after 15 days
Kaplan GRE Exam Premier Program Item arrived within timely manner and in exceptional condition. Would definitely do business with again.
Decent First of all, the editor of this book should be fired. Isn't it the editor's job to make sure no typos make it into the final product? And after reading reviews of other editions, I think the problems have been there for awhile. Other than those annoying little mistakes, it's pretty helpful. There are good ideas of how to approach problems and solve them quickly and easily.
Premier option not really worth the extra $$ I bought this edition primarily because I wanted the online options and the cd-rom extras. However, both of those have fallen short of my expectations. The internet site isn't as "personalized" as they make it out to be. The "guided study plan" is just a generic "syllabus" that isn't very helpful, and some of the links to study guides don't even work. I thought the diagnostic test would give me specific areas to work on but instead it's just the same as a practice test that gives you a score and reviews the answers but nothing more. It's also not plainly stated the the cd rom DOES NOT WORK ON A MAC. In 2008 this seems like an unacceptable format for a book like this that makes you pay extra for the cd features.
The study guide itself is pretty good, with good tips and techniques for getting through the test, and the verbal and math workbooks have also been useful for more specific areas of review, but you can get the same thing from the non-premier edition.
Delivery Well, since feedback came timely, I have to say that my book got shredded by my labrador retriever as soon as it got delivered. Lyla was in the garage due to re-modeling at the back of the house. Perhaps packages of this magnitude should be confirmed upon delivery, perhaps not.
