Want to buy 5 lb. Any reviews?

by aishwarya.degaonkar Mon May 12, 2014 7:57 am

I am planning to take my GRE in November. However, I have started off with MGRE 8 Strategy Guides and so far I really loved it.
I am pretty weak at Math and this set has really helped me overcome my Math anxiety.
In next month, I am planning to start solving the practice questions.

Just wanted to know should I go for 5 lb. book? I have the paperback version of MGRE set and now I want to buy the Kindle version of 5. lb so that I can carry it with me anywhere.

Any reviews so far? I am brushing up basics now, I want to know what will be the right time to buy it.

Thank you.

Hey aishwarya,

Obviously I'm biased in favor of our books, but as for timing, there's really no wrong time to buy the book. In terms of when to work it, I generally recommend waiting until you've been through all of the other books (so you have a good sense of the basic concepts and techniques necessary on the GRE). Then you can run through the book, grinding out questions with correct technique.

Hope that helps (and that you like the book!),
