Customer Reviews
Get Confused, Gauranteed.
Although the preparation material is decent, the sample practice tests are awful. I just took the verbal tests and more than one third of the questions were either low quality, unclear, or just plain wrong. More than half of the critical reasoning questions have arguably no correct answer or more than one correct answer. The explanations are just a few words more than "Answer B is correct because I say so". The author seems to be incapable of critical reasoning and logical analysis, let alone teaching you about them.
Not the best quality prep material, save your money
I got the book a few days before my exam because I wanted more practice. The material in the book is early beginner level. If you rely on this as a primary guide, you're in for a rude awakening on test day. More importantly, the testing software leaves a lot to be desired. Besides being buggy, there are problems with the material as well. Some questions are vague, incorrect and at least one was simply wrong. The level of the questions in the quant section is low and unrealistic. I believe that the same software is packaged with the Peterson guide as well (same publisher) and I looked at that guide too.
You could apply any of the reviews written for this book to that book as well.
In short, save your money and time. Go elsewhere.
Plain wrong sample questions
2 out of the first 20 practice questions (quantitative section) are wrong. I don't feel like using it any further, as the remaining questions are ambiguous.
Glad that I borrowed the book from a library and did waste my money.
