CD doesn't work with Vista or Mac
I have used Kaplan study products for many different exams, and I like their approach and the fact that they have a CD-ROM with extra features. But it doesn't work with either my PC (which has Vista) or my Mac laptop!! This seems ridiculous for a 2009 version. I am very sorry I paid the extra money for the CD-ROM.

Unuseful
I bought this book to get an overview on the GRE (which I could have got on ETS page) and to increase my Verbal and AW scores.
After three week of learning words, the Verbal scores didn't improve and the AW skill is simply unmeasurable.
Their verbal CD tests are pretty limited, after making them twice I get maximum score because of learning the answers by heart, not because any improvement actually occurs. The Math was no challenge except the probabilities, whose I had to review once again. Sadly, no probabilities problems occurred in the test, but statistics (distributions, percentile, standard deviation), which I had barely remembered (I have a 10 year old CS/Math undergraduate degree).
I scored 800 Quantitative (with very less preparation) 480 on Verbal and 3.5 on AW. Same score, (at least after my appreciation, I had the official test only once) as when I have acquired the book.
The book may be good to give an image about what GRE is, this is the reason I gave two stars, but if you wish to improve your score, you may look elsewhere.

Excellent Product!
The GRE Premier Program 2009 Edition is a fantastic study guide for the GRE tests. Having the groups of words and math examples in the back of the book make it a lot easier to study.
I would suggest that those word groups and math examples be pages that can be torn out so that they can be used as notecards!

Excellent study guide
I purchased this book because I wanted to be well-prepared for the GRE. This book is easy-to-understand and very thorough. I especially appreciate their test tips. Kaplan gives explicit information about how the GRE is written and points out pitfalls to avoid. They train students how to easily eliminate certain answer choices to increase their odds of choosing the correct answer. There are practice tests both in the book and on the disk and there is a wealth of additional information on their web site. I highly recommend this book.

Not Good
The strategies and practice are good. The CD-ROM is a disaster. I was doing one of the 3 CAT included in the CD-ROM and my time expired after 10 minutes of the issue essay. The same thing happened with the quantitative section. It's worthless. Also, I found more productive and interesting the analytical writing tips in Princeton review.
I don't recommend it.

Who Else Wants to Become a Professional in Computer Science?It has become inevitable that almost all our life is dependant on computer and information technology. What is more this sphere can bring quite a lot of money to those who are engaged in this kind of business. But still your knowledge, your prestige and, as the result, your income entirely depend on your degree.
It is not always easy to persuade your potential employer that you are a competent and hardworking employee with huge experience in this field though you have just been installing various programs to the computers of your friends. What will definitely make him or her believe in the value of your contribution into this particular company is surely your diploma got at a University or college of the country.
But what should you do if you have already got a job (though quite a low paid one) and are eager to be promoted, but your parents are unlikely to be glad to lend you some more money on your education. Where should you get your ambitions and finally start doing what you really would like to do in your life?
I’m afraid there is only one thing that will definitely help you with this issue. Online education is meant especially for those who would like to kill two birds with one stone: get education and earn his/her living.
Numerous colleges and universities offer a great variety of online courses and especially those in computer science and technology promising good prospects and high income. Now let’s have a look what is in today in this sphere and how much you can earn devoting yourself to this kind of occupation.
Computer programming: here you should get ready to spend at least 4 years on earning the degree in this field. After the courses you can take at American Sentinel University, Herzing College, Kaplan University, Penn Foster Career School, and Ashworth University you get the profession of either computer programmer or a software developer, or applications development programmer. And the average income you can get after finishing such courses is $62,890 a year. Not bad I should say.
Next come computer technician courses. The difference is that here you have the choice between associate's and bachelor's degrees (2 and 4 years of study respectively). Such technicians are in great demand nowadays at any company so you are welcome in this business. The qualifications you get at numerous universities and colleges are: systems administrator, computer technician and computer support specialist. The average income is $40,430 per year.
The sphere of information technology is probably the most profitable one as the average income of information technology manager is between $81,500 and $113,750. Here you can also choose between earning either an associate’s or bachelor’s degree (2 and 4 years).
Computer science degrees for potential database administrators, web developers and network systems analyst are obligatory if they want to earn up to $59,480 a year. Here the diploma does matter and only 4 years of study are available.
And the last ones computer training courses which also give the students two possible degrees: associate's and bachelor's ones, with which they can further their career and earn their living with pleasure and chances for promotion.
