Pretty Good and a CLASSIC,
By
This review is from: Atkinson and Hilgard's Introduction to Psychology (with Lecture Notes and InfoTrac) (Hardcover)
I recently purchased the East Asian non-color paperback edition (not to be sold in the USA)of Atkinson and Hilgard on EBAY and used it to study for the GRE. Actually my "intro" book way back when, as a freshman was the 6th edition (this is the 14th). This time I read the whole textbook, and 2 days before the GRE I also studied Kaplan's guide, reading and not quite finishing the final chapters in the testing room.
I got my scores a couple of days ago. I scored a 760 or a 96%! Subsections were "experimental" 96%, and "social" 94%. I really didn't study anything else, and I hadn't completed a psychology major.
