Re: Edition
Hey Prma,
If I'm not mistaken, the second editions of our books line up with the old GRE, not the new one, so there are a fair number of differences across the board (do some research into the difference between the old and new GRE for a sense of them). That being said, the concepts tested in math are effectively the same, and most of verbal is similar (new vocabulary based types, a TOTALLY new type of Reading Comprehension modeled on Critical Reasoning/Logical Reasoning on the GMAT/LSAT). So it's up to you. You can learn most of what you need to know from those books, but there are some major differences in terms of the test.
