The Kaplan book alone is not enough as it glosses over certain math concepts and the Barron's book is not enough because it isn't organized or worded as well as the Kaplan book. You need both books to complete your GRE prep.Other good GRE books you might want to have are McGraw-Hill's New GRE, 2011-2012 Edition (Mcgraw-Hill's Gre (Book Only)) and McGraw-Hill's Conquering the New GRE Math
