Customer Reviews

Somewhat helpful, need other sources as well tho
This book provides a good prep for the GRE Psychology subject test in that it has 6 practice tests with explained answers. This helps you figure out what you don't know. However, I needed to purchase another book with more extensive review of each section covered in the test to adequately prepare myself. I also used an introductory Psych textbook on stuff I needed more review on.

Awful Review Section
I wasted about 4 weeks studying this book's review section. Then I took the practice exam in the back of the book and I couldn't even answer any of the first 25 questions. I don't know what they put in their review section but MAYBE you will find 1/4 of it on the exam. I finally went to my University's library and took out 2 general psych textbooks to study in the two weeks left I have until the exam. I'm really upset that I wasted so much time, if only I knew this 4 weeks ago! The ONLY good thing about this book is the practice exams, beacuse you will be able to get a feel for the test.

Have the authors ever taken the Psychology GRE?
I bought this book because it had six supposedly accurate practice tests. Instead of helping, however, I believe this book may have actually hurt my score. Each practice test had numerous (at least 50% of the total) questions on specific and often obscure theorists. As I had never heard of many of them, I focused my study time on learning their individual theories and areas of research. Much to my surprise, the actual GRE was primarily conceptual, with questions on specific psychologists limited to important researchers that were extrememly influential within their areas of specialization. I am greatly disappointed in this book.
