Summary: NOT MAC COMPATIBLE
Comment: I just recieved Kaplan's GRE book, and while the book itself seems to be very helpful, the CD is only for Windows users - in other words it doesn't work for anybody who owns a Macintosh computer. ... I want to let future Mac users who are considering this book know about this, as it might influence their decision to buy the book and CD.

Summary: Go with the GRE Verbal and Quantitative books instead
Comment: I bought this book, along with the Verbal and Quantitative specific books by Kaplan. The bottom line is, don't buy this book if you plan to buy the other two. If you don't plan to do an in-dept study or if the test is coming up soon, then go with this book. Just remember that there is nothing in this book that is not explained in greater detail in the Verbal and Quantitative books.
By the way, I got scores of 590 verbal and 760 quantitative by using the other two books. I barely touched this one and only studied for about 12 hours per week for 4 weeks. I spent most of my time memorizing the 2000 most common GRE words listed in the Verbal book (there are only about 200 words in the general GRE book).

Summary: Good book, okay software
Comment: Okay, so what I like:
1) Good review of materials for all 3 major test areas in book.
2) Good practice sections on the CD.
3) Clean design of software
What I don't like:
1) The book shows you the sneaky methods but the solutions on the CD-ROM tend to skip sneaky ways to answer questions I go for long routes to the right choice.
2) CD-ROM sound effects
3) The software bugs out and I can't review my answers for the full length practice tests.
4) Lack of Mac version of CD ROM
I'll be reviewing the Princeton Review book w/ CD ROM soon. Basically, they go for the sneak more often and have a less comprehensive math review (though I do like their commentary about which square root numbers you should now in decimal form... 2, 3, one more). Also, their software is wacky and the tests don't seem hard enough. But at least, when they don't screw up a question, their answer explanations explain the sneak.
For context, on my real and practice test I usually score around the 98 percentile for the verbal. And somewhere in the 80 percents on the math.
