I found this book very helpful while studying for the MAT. The CD with the practice test are extremely valuable when studying,and really help to get a great over view of test material.These practice test are very simular to the real MAT. If you are able to score well on these practice test then the real MAT should be no problem.

I used four different study guides to prepare for the MAT. Barron's, The Princeton Review, and McGraw-Hill were pretty comparable in the level of difficulty of their practice test questions. The study information was well-presented, also. However, REA had really tough, obscure questions on its tests and presented a lot of information in difficult to read and absorb outline format. After taking the test, i found it to be really similar in difficulty to the McGraw Hill, etc. named above. I actually scored better on the real test than I did on most of the practice tests. I would say buy the REA guide as a last resort.

This is neither the best nor worst prep book I used - I preferred the Barron's edition because the types of questions were varied and more like the real test's questions. This book focuses on difficult analogies as well but a lot of them are history related and more obscure than the real test - so in that sense, it made me more comfortable with analogies that at first seemed unfathomable, but could be decoded with more thought. The best part of this book is the review section for mythology, etc. and the CD of tests. If I hadn't had a computer based practice test like this one, the real test would have been a lot more stressful. Also, the GRE flashcards were really helpful and those words showed up on the test- this book contains some vocab as well.

I purchased this book to prepare to take the MAT so I can get admitted to graduate school. The book went above my expectations. As a result of scoring very well on the MAT, I was able to get accepted into the graduate scool of my choice.

One of the reasons that I was so interested in this particular book for MAT review is that it came with a CD-ROM of pracitce tests. However, what was not clear before ordering was that the CD-ROM is not compatible with Mac computers and will not work. If you use a Mac, the CD is useless to you, so keep that in mind. I was really disappoined.

I wish I would have ordered earlier as this was extremely helpful in taking the MAT exam. I highly recommend this source for preparing.

I purchased this text with CD to improve my MAT score for my Doctorate. It is helping and in the spring I will take the MAT to get (hopefully) a higher score. It is very informative and the CD works well with a Windows based operating system.

the book look practically new. i received the book before time. i will always inform my friends to by from amazon.com, ordering from amazon book that the best thing that could happen to me. thank you for making feel my opinion matters.
