Product Description

Few prospects are as frightening to graduate school candidates as taking the GRE. Ironically, most preparation guides only cover half of what students need to know to earn a top score on the exam. To ace the GRE, students must master far more than the requisite concepts in math, reading and writing; they must learn the tricks of the test writers, who tend to ask the same types of questions, with the same types of traps and pitfalls, on every exam. This publication addresses the second half of the equation, by "teaching the test" in an efficient and practical manner. It presents targeted strategies for each section of the GRE, along with dozens of relevant examples. Readers will learn the sneaky ways that test writers try to confuse students and distract them from the correct answer choices. They will learn practical (and manageable) ways to learn new vocabulary words and conquer tough math problems. Most importantly, they will learn how to exploit the predictability of the GRE, which makes it a surprisingly learnable test. For many students, the GRE is the greatest obstacle they will face in the graduate school admissions process. With so much at stake, they must work smarter (rather than harder), to earn a top score. This savvy publication shows them how.

I Didn't Think They Wrote Westerns Like This Any More

The ever-resourceful and totally delightful eponymous hero and his charges were shot at, had fires set against them, faced stampedes of cattle and avalanches of rocks.

With a delicate and subtle touch, the author describes the beginning of mutual attraction between Calico (the dependable and solid cowboy) and Josh (a young man just emerging into manhood) . We also get to see how two sheltered and privileged soon to be eighteen year olds from

With economic and masterful use of words, Grey sets his scenes, One example being, "They broke camp shortly after dawn, while the air was still crisp enough to show their breath. A flat meadow of fog and mist spread out below them ..."

This book will be enjoyed by readers of romance, westerns and good old-fashioned mystery-thrillers. I have no hesitation in awarding it top marks.

Average software.

CAUTION!: This book/CD has EXCACTLY the same CD/software like the "The Very Best Coaching and Study Course for the New Gre General Test". I bought both of them and I wasted my money since I care only for the CD/software. I contains three CATS which is good but it is not even in my top 5 recommendations for the GRE.

Expensive since you can get a practice test from ETS online

Its a good book in that you do receive a real GRE. However, ETS provides an online practice that has an exam. The best strategy is to take the online (pdf from gre.org) practice test and find out the concentration of questions and your level of comfort with the topics. The fields that you have most difficulty with will require more practice and memorization. After review of this material in your Intro Psych text and other category specific books (Cognitive, Developmental, Personality, Social, Behavioral, Stats and Neuro) take the Book test under timed conditions. The intevening period of time should wash out the information from the online test. Take that again. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! No better way of pumping up your scores. As with most GREs, if you take at least 4 or 5 practice (deliberate practice) tests, you will see that your scores should increase greatly.

The stats quesitons on the exam are NOT formidable though a recent stats course would help.

You should do fine (if you are a decent Psych undergrad) with a few weeks of review. If you have not had some of the requisite topical courses, you may want to review a little bit further than an Intro Psych text.

Haunting

Greer begins The Confessions of Max Tivoli with the statement "We are all the love of someone's life..." And with that tantalizing opening, Greer begins to unravel the tale, and the life, of Max Tivoli, a man who is born a wizened infant of 70 and then "ages" in reverse. The premise is, of course, far-fetched, but disbelief is suspended in the face of such sensitive and honest characterizations. Not only Max, whose confessions we are reading, but all the characters are portrayed with such depth that we are drawn into the tragedy - hook, line and sinker - even when we know the inevitable outcome.

Seldom have I read of book of such understated intensity. Greer is a marvelous writer who can nail a character with very few words. Like Nabokov, he has the ability to describe a setting with such pinpoint accuracy as to make you feel as if you are present, or perhaps as if you have never truly seen moonlight before. But, best of all, Greer never, ever makes you feel as if you are reading a book. You are reading a life. And in the end, when all the sad obsessions of Max, Alice and Hughie are said and done, you are simply left with the question: Whose life am I the love of?

Helpful but not as your only study aid

This book is great in that it provided a quick but comprehensive review for the psychology GRE. While the in-depth explanations are there, you will definitely need something else for last minute studying and review. I used Kaplan's together with Princeton Review's and did quite well on the psych gre.

Unheralded...

In the GRE book wars, Peterson's Master the GRE 2008 is unheralded combatant. First the positive: It has practice tests and questions galore and the explanations are terse but respectable. The negative: The answer explanations are terse but respectable and I found a mitake in one of the explanations-there may be more. Also, the practice tests on the CD that is included are somewhat buggy and some questions are repeated.

I believe this book is most useful as a supplemental study guide and its value lies in the plethora (GRE word) of study questions that allow mastery of concepts learned (or relearned) in books with more robust explanations, such as GRE for Dummies.

Pick it up, practice on it and you will conquer the GRE.

Wish I would have found this book first

This book is great! I've never seen a book with so many styles of fences that would go with so many different types of architecture. I also like how the material and illustrations are presented to allow the reader to easily see and compare the many different styles. The first fence books I bought had a few nice photos with trees and flowers, but, the fences themselves were not that special.

I think it is much easier to see the fences for their own style and appearance the way they are presented in this book. If you are looking for an abundance of design ideas, this book has no equal.
