Which practice test is most like the real GRE?

I’m taking my GREs in October, and have been taking practice tests from Barrons and Peterson’s (paper and CAT), both from 2008-2009. My math scores on these tests have been awful, about 480-530 (660 verbal). However, I took two PowerPrep tests (the software released by ETS) and got much higher math scores – 610 and 640. The math questions on PowerPrep were significantly easier, less obscure, and involved more expected math skills. On Peterson’s practice GRE tests especially, I find the questions requiring math common sense and math creativity that I just don’t have. The verbal though was about the same.

Which is the case: that Peterson’s and Barrons are providing especially difficult questions so that when you take the GRE you do well, and you attribute your good score to their impossible questions, or that PowerPrep is outdated and the GRE math problems are now more difficult?

I’m going to continue practicing the harder problems because it certainly can’t hurt, but for those of you who have recently taken the GRE and studied using PowerPrep and a non-ETS book, which more closely resembled the math questions on the exam?

My Power prep score was 10 points higher on verbal and 20 points lower on the math than my actual score. I found the GRE math a lot harder than the practice test questions I had seen. My non-ETS scores were not really that close I think they were lower on both I know they were lower on the math by a lot.

When should the GRE exam be taken? I am a college Sophomore and I got an offer for GRE practice?

from The Princeton Review and I am curious as to whether I should take the offer now or take another opportunity later on in my undergrad career (Junior/Senior year).
Thanks for the answers guys!!!

If you want to go to Grad school right after undergrad, then you would be applying for grad school in the fall of your senior year, so you’d need to take the GRE by the summer before senior year.

I think tests are valid for 3 years, so you certainly don’t need to wait that long. By the way, nothing on the GRE really requires college education – it’s harder than the SAT (in terms of vocab and level of math tested), but it’s mostly still things you should have learned in high school.
