it's unanimous!peruse the other reviews. yes, it's unanimous. this is a one star study guide.
where i differ from, and what i would like to add to the other reviews is to provide more specific examples of where this guide is wanting:
1. there are some gems here. don't be fooled by all the mistakes. for example, there is a section on ALTERING FRACTIONS AND RATIOS that will be helpful if learned, Exponents You Should Know, a table delineating Exponents and the Real Number Line, a table of Roots You Should Know, a table of PYTHAGOREAN TRIPLETS, a nice geometry section, etc.
2. the section on PERMUTATIONS and COMBINATIONS, and PROBABILITY are wanting. insufficient and unacceptable for a study guide.
3. nice section on Circles and Inscribed Polygons, and Tangents and Inscribed Circles, although the explanations were wanting.
4. the reason why you want to avoid this book (or what section of the book to avoid) - the Analogies section:
but before I go there; the gem is ANALOGY CATEGORIES YOU SHOULD KNOW
now for it's flaws -
page 304 analogy incorporates the idea that mercury is unstable. look up mercury in the McGraw-Hill encyclopedia of science and technology. it isn't even remotely intimated that this element is unstable. if this analogy/reasoning were on an actual test, i'd be the first one to dispute it.
page 306 analogy asks us "is straightness a defining characteristic of an arrow? No ..." are you starting to get the picture? what of the idiom "straight as an arrow" ? what? are arrows suppose to be crooked? If this analogy/explanation were on an actual gre test, i'd be the first one to challenge it. i would think that even china has perfected the art of manufacturing straight arrows. which makes me wonder: who wrote that? who edited that? where is this coming from? who is going to think that an arrow is not, by definition, straight?
page 310 "does a clot reduce exposure to bleeding? No ..." whoever's heard of "exposure" to bleeding? a clot reduces bleeding. am i studying for the gre or a test in obfuscation?
page 312 - does a battlefield demonstrate a lack of strategy? sure it does. it is an expression of a lack of diplomacy. how a place where people are killing each other exemplify strategy? i would dispute this one.
page 316 is lying a form of insincerity? sure it is.
page 328 - verbal reasoning - what of this sentence: " ... nations are now tackling public-health problems jointly, through joint research programs." does this strike you as retarded? why not just say "... nations are now tackling public-health problems through joint research programs." ?
there's a reason for this study guide getting one star. it's because it's frustrating to read. it's stupid. i'm going to get over this book and move on to something more efficacious. and that's all i have to say about that.

| pretty helpfulThis was a good help and a good review to practice for the PSAT. It gave good techniques and information that were helpful in supplementing already existing knowledge on the topics. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants a little extra information before taking the test.

| The Best Preparation for the Math GREThis book contains a practice exam that's about half the length of the real exam, and also an entire actual exam from a few years ago. Taking these exams demonstrates in detail what subjects you must understand, and more importantly, helps you achieve the appropriate state of mind. It's hard to explain, but many of the questions are "tricky", or seem difficult at first but are in reality extremely simple when you "grok" what they are asking. Even though there is no math review, and no explanations of the answers, they wouldn't help much anyway. I wouldn't take the Math GRE without at least looking at this book!

| This is a Rip-Off ScamI am a fourth year university student preparing to take the Biochem/Cell Bio GRE Subject Test. I ordered this book thinking that it was a work-book and stugy guide. I was under the impression that this volume would contain multiple sample tests along with study materials in the individual subject areas. At over $90, plus shipping, I was expecting a comprehensive review like the workbooks published by Barron's for the SAT.
To say I was disappointed when I recieved this book is a gross understatement. Its not even a book, it is a 60 PAGE BOOKLET. [...] This booklet contains just ONE full-size subject test, and not much more. The sample test occupies the bulk of the booklet, the remaining 16 pages offer no viable insight as to how you should study for this test, or any valuable tips to get you ahead. Examples of the "advice" contained in this useless booklet includes, "A general review of you undergrad cirriculum is the best preparation," Gee; thanks.
You can obtain a sample test for FREE when you register for your subject test. Do yourself a favor and save your 90 bucks, you can get everyting contained in this lousy booklet AT NO CHARGE. A no-name company called BookoRama in Pennsylvania billed my debit card for almost A HUNDRED DOLLARS. When the booklet arrived, it did not come with any kind of invoice or receipt, just a slip of paper that read "ALL SALES FINAL." It might as well have said "YOU GOT F*****" There is no hope for a refund. On top of it all, to add insult to injury, the list price on the back cover reads: $9.00 US!!!
I got screwed out of my hard earned cash for a worthless, nine dollar booklet. Take it from me; dont order this trash. The only way to study for this test is with your old Biochem, Cell and Genetics textbooks; NOT by dropping over 90 dollars for this SCAM.
