 actually i was looking for something more than google.com.  I think anyone who uses internet know there exists a google.com which is a helpful tool in doing some research.  another option is an amazon.com which also provides listing of books.  however, i was looking for something that is worth buying or studying to prepare the exam.

 almost any book will do fine. the main thing is you! different books have different ways of preparing you for the test (i've experienced that because i'm preparing for my MCAT using books from two different providers and they instruct in somewhat different way). but the important thing is getting there, regardless of what route you follow. if you are taking a prep course, go with kaplan. expensive but you'll get good score. but i don't recommend doing that because you can do that at home, studying by yourself. that's what i'm doing too, saves ton! get a barron's or kaplan gre prep book and study hard, you'll rock the test.

 how is your MCAT preparation coming along?  is it tough?  do you need to know everything from your undergrad bio/chemistry/maths/..?

 i started a few weeks ago, going pretty slow. definitely need to speed it up. i'm taking a practice test next weekend. i know i'm going to get horrible scores, hopefully that'll motivate me to study harder. good luck with your GRE prep.

 I sat for the gre exam on august...for the exam I was looking for two books, one is from Kaplan and the other from Princeton....Kaplan has a lot of stuffs in it and some vague techniques......I like the problem solving ways from princeton.....So just my thought, if you are in rush, use princeton which do not has too many vocabs and has some really good problem solving wayas......also download powerprep software from ets.org for practice....but if you have a lot of time and u r not in rush to give the xam, use kaplan which has a lot of stuffs in it....go through all those stuffs, u will get a good score... GOOD LUCK on your prep and xm..
