5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Book You Need To Pass The GED Test Period!! January 6, 2012

By S. Mayorquin

Format:Paperback

I purchased this book and studied for about 3 weeks. I took each test, one at a time, and passed each test without ever failing one. I was able to do this after being out of school for 16 years. If you are serious about obtaining your diploma then purchase this book.

Study for and take each test, as you are ready, and earn your diploma in less than a month like I did. You will not find a better or more complete book for your GED studies. I purchased one other book before buying this one, which did not present the information to you in a precisely structured and easy to understand manner, like this book does. That book is now collecting dust in my garage, that's 20 bucks I'll never see again.

Buying the right book to study for this test makes all the difference in the world, trust me! The GED test is more about reading and understanding paragraphs, and answering questions about those paragraphs. It is not about memorizing a bunch of facts. Buy your copy today, take and pass the test, and move on with your life.

P.S I passed the GED with a total score of 3275 out of a possible 4000, that's almost equivalent to a 3.3 GPA, In only 3 weeks!........you do the math....IT WORKS!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars everyone deserves an education April 17, 2012

By youdontknowme42

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this for my multi-felon nephew.

With two copies, Internet access and two web cams I essentially taught him what he needed to know from here he left off in high school to pass the G.E.D. It took seven weeks of continuous effort and dedication on both his and my part.

My nephew passed the G.E.D. with a B+ average, the highest test score he's ever received. He took a competency class for advanced welding and passed; he's now in welding school for complex jobs that lead to six figure payout.

I'd speculate that this story is no different from any other offering the same content. What sold me was the price and the ability to receive the item quickly.

What the book turned out to be was an excellent guidebook on the topics necessary to complete the intended task (Get G.E.D.) without complication. Easy for him to understand, easy for me to explain - easy to comprehend. It uhh even reminded me of some things.

In short: for those looking at the book for yourself or a loved one JUST GET THE BOOK. It worked for my hard-luck knuckle-headed beloved super-felon nephew it will work for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars False advertising! January 11, 2012

By Sammey's Mom

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

The material is good, but the cover is misleading. I thought there'd be two "full-length" tests. They are, in fact, half-length tests. Is it still good? Sure -- but Princeton Review should not use false advertising to get folks to buy their product.
