Is it worth it too take a class that costs 500 in the summer to study for the GRE?? I bought the study guide and was planning on just studying that for a month... Should I stick to that and save the money or cough up the 500 bucks?? Is it really that rigorous??

If you consider yourself to be an average to below-average test-taker, and you have an extra $500 to spend on GRE test prep, then I recommend taking the course.
However, if you're pretty average to above average, just use your GRE prep book and diagnose your weak areas. Then focus on those areas; you'll be ready.
Is it rigorous? Yeah, it's pretty tough, but again, if you work to reinforce your weaknesses, you should come out okay. You should also take into consideration the selectivity of your prospective graduate school.

What Erik said, plus consider whether having a class and teacher and knowing that you did shell out the money will give you more impetus to study more. It does for some people.

Of course! It would be worth it, and i think that you're underestimating that exam.
Like me, i wanted to take my Toefl, i thought my english is good, i thought i can learn it in 1 month or 3, but it took 7 month to pass it!
Good luck!
