Having taken the GRE several times, I think this book is better than the Princeton Review's Cracking the GRE, but not by much and it is in fact weaker in some ways. For example, the PR text seems to be superior in preparing one for vocabulary-building and for some types of math questions (such as PR's instructions on permutations and combinations being more simple and the instructions on probability problems being more useful and clear). Additionally, while the Kaplan text may be superior in offering more practice tests and practice sets, the PR online tests were graded more quickly and without my having to submit essays in emails (NB: I last used the Cracking the GRE 2013, and it seems that PR has increased their resource offerings since then). The Kaplan videos are useful for advice if one has not heard it before, but they could have been a bit more pedagogically helpful as well.
That said, the Kaplan text is--in my estimation--superior, particularly for instruction on the verbal portion of the test and on essay writing. The instructions on solving difficulties in reading comprehension were quite useful, as were those in sentence equivalent problems. What's more was that it was very helpful to see the differences between 4, 5, and 6 essays in the analytical writing section. The strategies the book gives seem to be on target. If your vocabulary is already copious, perhaps you can pass on the PR altogether, but I would recommend the two texts in conjunction if you have the financial resources (and be sure to get them far enough in advance of your tests to explore the breadth of the resources available through each).
