Summary: My comments
Comment: I think it is good practice book. Give you a lots of exams, but i agree that it does have many errors.

Summary: Contains too many errors
Comment: I have bought this book especially for the quantitative section, because its verbal section didn't seem very helpful (a five page word list for the GRE is ridiculous).

The math review contained so many errors, some of which are downright misleading, for example the book gives a very inaccurate definition of prime numbers and does even more - it states several times that 1 is a prime number. Trust me, it is not! But if you didn't know that, you would probably miss most questions involving prime numbers. So if you like loosing points because your prep book was full of errors, go ahead and buy this book, nobody will stop you.
Besides that, the practice exercises, and again I'm referring to the quantitative section, are too easy and don't reflect the level of the real GRE with regard to difficulty and timing.
Finally, the CD-ROM contains about the same information as in the book, so don't expect too much of it.

If you are serious about studying for the GRE I would recommend that you use Barron's "How to Prepare for the GRE test" which is terrific, and of course you want to practice on official tests published by ETS.

Summary: Somewhat informative, but not the best
Comment: I've been spending the past few weeks studying for the GRE. I've read the majority of the books out there that tell how to study for the exam. And I've found that the Arco book is not very good. While it may have numerous practice problems, it does not contain very much information about how to solve the problems. For example, when it comes to antonyms, the book suggests that if you don't know the meaning of a word, click (C) and move on. I advise reading the Kaplan book. It was by far the most informative of the lot.
