So I plan on giving the GRE this year and I was wondering which textbook(s) would be good for it as well as learning physics in general. I've already obtained a copy of one by Randall D. Knight and another by Halliday and Resnick. Are there any others I should look for?

I think that the books you referred to are good. The most important thing for GRE exam, is to focus on which subjects you need, at what level and previous exam questions, in order to succeed. For general guidance on resources at physics you can take a look at this PF thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/physics-learning-resources.825111/#post-5348321.

Could you elaborate? I thought I would only need to focus on the physics GRE for a physics degree. Along with the general GRE, of course.
