Start with Cracking the GRE. It has the best review of the test. It wouldn't hurt to do more vocab prep at the beginning, but unless you need to improve your English vocab in general, don't do one of the massive word lists. Use a condensed list that focuses on the words most likely to show up on the GRE. There's a good hit list in the Cracking book but Word Smart for the GRE is even better.

thanks viking23, i have the book and will trying to follow. Btw, do you think the time schedule for the Cracking the GRE is good enough for preparing well for the GRE? Best regards.

I found the answer of my previous question in the same book. interested mates may refer to the "Question about GRE preparation time" thread
