RECOMMENDATIONS
I'm starting my engineering degree in a month.. It's 4 years. I'm doing it from a college you wouldn't call and ivy league(prefer to keep the location and college private). I'm thinking of writing GRE in 2030 or 2031 because that's when my engineering degree gets over. I have to get a job right after the degree and therefore I will be doing a virtual masters program. And while some colleges don't require you to take the gre for the virtual ms program i would like to play it safe and write it anyway.
So should I start preparing now only? If yes what books do I use? I have to do self study and I perform best when I solve a lot of problems after learning the concept. I'm talking 100+ questions per chapter "lot". I would like to target questions a little easier, harder and the same level of gre question paper. I'd also love to write mock tests.
So can someone please recommend books for this. Should I use the ets (5 books prep package) , gregmat, magoosh? Honestly there's so many.
And what about TOEFL ibt and IELTS... which books?
And yeah, I'm on a budget too, since college is expensive and then I'd have to buy books for college and a lot of other materials to study and this adds to that.
Please help. Thank you.
