Barron’s GRE Book were #1 GRE Test Prep book in India. You would find several student around campus walking around with Barron’s GRE book when I was in studying Bachelor’s degree. But, that’s slowly changed and now most students buy Manhattan GRE Strategy Guides.

Considering the volume of contents one has to read, buying the book WILL NOT boost your GRE test score. Test Takers need to study with a end goal in mind.

But, this book is comprehensive. If you buy all the books from Manhattan GRE series, along with Official GRE Guide, you don’t have to buy any other set of GRE books for improving test score and practice.

At first, it may look overwhelming, but if you create a study plan to cover each topics from all 8 books, you should be able to complete all the book from Algebra to Text and sentence Completion within 30 to 60 days.
