I bought access to your GRE Prep site last week; using it was a nightmare. I am delighted to see this post.


sorry about your poor experience with GRE Prep :( what didn't you like about it? my team doesn't do the GRE products but I will certainly pass along your thoughts.


You're a kind soul.

The login was rather convoluted, and it implored me to keep re-registering my book. So I wound up with three registrations of my book. The system didn't record when I completed a practice test or quiz, so I couldn't access old work. The tests/quizzes themselves were often missing exponents in the answer keys; additionally, there were a few with contradictory answers (on one, it said "(B) is correct... (B) is obviously incorrect", or something to that effect).

It also crashed and booted me in the middle of practice tests twice.
