While taking courses to earn my graduate degree in history, I am an adult literacy instructor at a local community college. I teach the basic level course for students who wish to earn their GED. Besides the plethora of texts that my institution provides me, I recommended this book highly to all my students.

After reviewing a copy, it was obvious that Barron's GED book is commensurate in quality with the books in the rest of their test prep series. I have already reviewed the Barron's GRE, PPST, SAT, and PRAXIS test books, of which are all superb books for preparing a student for their respective test. Therefore, I expected nothing less than the best from the GED test prep book. Needless to say, it delivered.

This book is the best book in its topic. The diagnosis test at the beginning of the book provides an accurate detail of where each respective student needs the most academic attention, and the examples throughout the book do a great job at developing the students' weaker areas. The practice tests are very helpful, and the CD-ROM is a great resource for students that have the means of a computer.

However, the CD-ROM is the weakest part of this book. It is useful when it works, and it a great supplement to the book itself, but by no means is it a replacement for the book. Furthermore, this book is not a replacement for a good GED class, nor is it something that I recommend students attempt without consulting a teacher, or taking a class.

My students use this book as a homework source, and supplement to my class. It is a great tool for teachers of GED and Adult Literacy classes to consult for possible course lessons and is an excellent source of information for students in a GED program. A great book to say the least!!!

It has taken me no time, to do what I had to do. This is the ultimate GED preparation book and CD-ROM. You will love how easy they make it all, and the CD-Rom has practice test. You will not go wrong here. I NOW HAVE MY GED!!!
