I unfortunately don't recall the book. All I remember is that the quantitive stuff in the book saved my ass when you realize how to beat the test instead of trying to do mathmatical alphabets

Amen to that, sir. You can't catch up on years of stuff; you simply must depend on a review of the "rules, laws and helpful hints" available for review.

I think I would be less bashful in a pm, but you asked the question this way.

I scored vocab and logic in the mid 90th percentile, without much work. My full concentration on Math thankfully brought me up to the 50th percentile. I would have never gotten into grad school, given all the stats classes I had to take, without bringing Math up to at least "average".

That is why I recommend putting more energy into any areas of weakness that a practice test reveals. Also, learn what are the important GRE outcomes that are important to your university of choice. My chosen Master's path placed great importance on Math & Vocabulary, and less so for Logic. (Logic, however, won the entire game played by my Psych Chair)
