I primarily used Manhatten Prep's Strategy Guides. It's a whole set that covers each major topic on the GRE and has both strategies and practice problems. It's a little pricey if you buy them new, but I found used ones and just ignored the scribbles. I also bought Manhatten Prep's 5 pound book of practice problems, but honestly didnt use it much.

My biggest advice is:
-take an initial practice exam to see what your strengths and weaknesses are and make a study schedule around those.
-stick to your study schedule and be disciplined!!
-take practice exams quite regularly
-be sure to practice the writing portion too! It's hard to brainstorm and write an essay in just 30 minutes.

Good luck!! :)

Check out Magoosh if you haven't already! They have different study plans (ex/ 1 month, 3 months) that makes it really easy to stay on track.
 
I used Barron's to prepare mine 4 years ago. The most difficult part for me was all the vocabulary in the verbal section (English is my second language) and I had a vocab book just for that. Quanti was easy if you have a good grasp of high school math. GRE analytical writing has a fixed pool of questions. If you don't have time to write out every essay (which I didn't), at least scan through all the questions and read some sample 6.0 essays provided by ETS to understand what they're looking for. Good luck, you can do this!!
