I got an 800 on the critical reading section, and I would suggest the Direct Hits vocab books. I bought them and looked over it while I going to the test center, I knew most of the words and quite a lot of them showed up on the test. It was suggested to me as the best book for this section. If you are referring to the writing section I didn't do so well on it but reviewing for it should be pretty straightforward just get a grammar book, and also practice timed writing.

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
