I definitely know what you're going through... In fact, today, I started comparing the contents of the two books I'm using, the Kaplan (which I bought two copies of, the physical version and the Kindle version to use on my iPod Touch) & the PR Cracking the GRE.
While its about 1/2 as thick as the Kaplan book, the PR so far has so much more information than the Kaplan seems to have. In the Social Psychology section alone, the PR book seems to have a good 5 pages of info on topics & people that the Kaplan doesn't seem to have.
As a wrap up to my studying, I'm going through both books and highlighting all the important stuff in each section tonight. And then I'll review the highlighted stuff again tomorrow, over the course of the day, along with going over assorted notes, podcasts/videos, and psychwiki articles on the stuff I think I'm having the most trouble with.
Right now, I'm focusing on the subjects that have the most presence on the test: Social, Clinical, Research Methodology, Physiological, and Lifespan. Those 5 areas cover about 60% of the test, estimated to be 125ish questions. Not enough to get the 81st percentile by itself, but its a start. Once I'm happy where I am with that group, I'll spend the rest of tomorrow night catching up on the other areas.
Then time to wake up Saturday morning, eat some breakfast, review the notes, and head off to the testing center. At least I'll know where the testing center is when I go to retake the test in October... ROFL:ack:

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.
Bachelor of Science in PsychoRabbitology degree
Master of Education with a specialty in Rabbit-specific destructive munitions (or eLearning & Technology, I forget which)
Doctor of Philosophy in Wile E. Leadership with an area of specialty in Acme Mind Expansion - 2017 Hopefully
