2.0 out of 5 stars ok, but not good on it's own, April 28, 2001

This review is from: Gre Psychology: Graduate Record Examination in Psychology (Barron's How to Prepare for the Gre Psychology Graduate Record Examination in Psychology) (Paperback)

This book explains some of what you need to know for the GRE but: 1) contains a lot of information that you don't need 2)explains only some of what you need and just lists the rest so you have to seek out another book and look that information up. I found Princeton Review to be much more helpful

4.0 out of 5 stars Seriously useful, but this shouldn't be your only source, February 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gre Psychology: Graduate Record Examination in Psychology (Barron's How to Prepare for the Gre Psychology Graduate Record Examination in Psychology) (Paperback)

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the topic areas that ETS expects you to have down. Its major strength is the diagnostic tests which effectively focus your review on your weak points. If, like me, you're prone to skip the less interesting stuff, the test results broken down by topic area provide excellent motivation to pay a little more attention! However, I would not recommend this as a sole source for GRE studying. You'll need a decent intro psych textbook (obviously) and some official test questions. The questions in this book's tests are not in ETS format. However, I found GRE Psychology a useful adjunct to my GRE preparation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely helpful; don't take the test without studying this, January 12, 1999

This review is from: Gre Psychology: Graduate Record Examination in Psychology (Barron's How to Prepare for the Gre Psychology Graduate Record Examination in Psychology) (Paperback)

A very comprehensive volume that covers everything you're apt to run into on the exam--theories, definitions, famous and obscure psychologists and their work, statistical questions...taking the exam without studying this book is a foolish move. I put the questions and answers on audiotape and listen to it in the car during my 50-mile commute to school.
