1.0 out of 5 stars I was such a fool., December 2, 1999

Dan Cosley - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gre Computer Science (REA Test Preps) (Paperback)

I really can't say enough bad things about this book. I looked at the reviews below, decided "something is better than nothing", and bought it anyways. Everyone below is correct -- the book is filled with typos, stupid questions, and questions that resembled the actual test only in that they were multiple choice. The first test in the book is sort-of-okay, the other three are dreck. Don't buy this book. Sorry, Amazon.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst book on Computer Science or GRE ever, May 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gre Computer Science (REA Test Preps) (Paperback)

I am a computer science student at MIT. I read portions of this book before I had to burn it. With so much wrong information, this book is not only useless, but also harmful.

1.0 out of 5 stars well it is "zero star" actually.., July 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gre Computer Science (REA Test Preps) (Paperback)

They wrote the book and never read it again! At least they could correct typos. Well the material is inconsistent, questions are weird, answers are incorrect. I have doubts that they've never seen a real GRE test. Don't waste your money and your nerves.
