I'll disagree with Waylon. Got the Kaplan's guide and found it more than satisfactory. I found the test manageable after I remembered all of the high school algebra that I hadn't thought about for 15 years. After studying that material, I did about 6 practice tests and a few hundred other practice questions. The real test was very, very similar to the practice ones and my score was nearly identical to what I did in practice. You should be able to handle the English part of it.

If that is indeed the case, I stand corrected. I ended up not taking it and going the LSAT route instead, and what I said was very much true for that test. The Kaplan's tests and such were a fraud. But perhaps that is not the case with the GMAT, for whatever reason.

Hey Waylon. Kaplan PMBR law school study aides and bar prep products are pretty good, too. Of course, Kaplan bought PMBR a couple of years ago and didn't develop the products themselves. I also heard mixed reviews about their LSAT prep and took the PowerScore class instead.

I bought the Kaplan GMAT study aid, and I've been more than pleased with it. Test should be a piece of cake.

Luckily I get to skip the GRE and take the MAT (Miller Analogies Test) next month. Supposedly it's much friendlier for people who prefer Jeopardy to knowledge-based testing.

When I took the LSAT, the Kaplan mass market books were garbage. But if you could get your hands on the ones used in the Kaplan classroom program, they are gold. But you can only get them on Ebay and places like that, not new unless you take the program (they hold back the real test questions for the expensive prep classes).
