Everyone has a different opinion on which GRE prep materials are the best and I'm not going to try and sway yours one way or the other. I'm not a GRE prep tutor like one of the posters here who has a less than favorable outlook on Kaplan products, nor have I tried all of the products out there to rank them in terms of quality. I am however someone who did very well on the exam and that is due in part to prepping with this book. So my goal in writing this review is to tell you how this text was helpful, impart a few of the things I learned that helped me succeed and point out things I would've done differently so that you might not make the same mistakes.Before I start, a little disclaimer. Have appropriate expectations from your prep materials and for the amount of time you need to spend prepping. I don't care to count the number of prep material reviews I read (here and elsewhere) where people were angry that this or another book didn't prepare them to crush the GRE three days before they took it. Their poor scores were their own fault. If you are serious about improving your scores then you need to put in the some serious study time. If you only want to spend a few hours studying, then don't waste your money on this or any other product. There isn't a course out there that is going to teach you to beat a standardized test based on the psychology of how people test with questions normed against literally tens of thousands of individuals in a few short hours. Stop being lazy then writing 1 or 2 star reviews blaming your mediocre scores on the prep material, you're not helping anyone. I spent ~ 45 hours over the period of a month prepping and truthfully, this was probably not enough.
We at GRE Prep Club have access to a vast amount of resources available for GRE Prep and here is our feedback on Kaplan’s Premier.Somethings that are Positive:1. Great Value for Money: The combined package, i.e. the book + CD + Online Materials, form a very exhaustive library of GRE Questions created and Compiled by Kaplan.2. Its greatest merit lies in its Chapters on AWA Sections. The topics and responses are discussed in great detail. There is an immaculate Foundation and Content review chapter under the AWA section as well, which is probably the best feature of this product. It also discusses the pacing strategy (writing the essay within 30 min) and nuances of Scoring.3. The Foundation and Content Review Chapters under both, Quant and Verbal sections are very detailed and beginner friendly. The theoretical coverage on the topics is fairly detailed.4. The answers to the practice questions, in the book, are very detailed and insightful.5. Practice test are of paramount importance for test prep. The six tests equip the user to perform SWOT analysis and monitor progress from time to time. The test analysis report is a lifesaver!Things that could have been better:1. Difficulty level of questions, specifically in the Quantitative section, could have been better. The practice test set questions are not at par with the Questions by ETS.2. The section named: “Kaplan Method of Problem solving” has a much better alternative that can be found in the book by ETS. Since ETS books contain actual GRE questions hence it is much more effective to emulate problem solving strategies presented in the Book by ETS.3. The questions on the Tests by Kaplan seem to lack the quality that we have come to Expect from ETS and Manhattan.
