There are two main problems with this study guide:
1. The practice tests are not in the same format as the actual MAT that you will be taking today; 120 questions in 60 minutes. This is critical because half of the battle when taking the MAT's is learning how to pace yourself properly so that you have enough time to answer all of the questions on the exam and perhaps have some time at the end to review your answers to questions that you found tricky.

2. The study content provided in this book is sometimes presented in a manner that is more complicated than it need be and I found that the Kaplan MAT guide was easier to understand, gave the user great MAT test taking strategy, had practice tests identical to the actual MAT, contained more content that was on the actual MAT exam that I took and overall prepared me so much better than the McGraw-Hill's MAT guide.

This review book is great, easy to read, and loaded with info and many pratice tests. I improved my scaled score from 400 up to 415 with approx 3-4 hours of review and practice tests.

The MAT book I ordered is for the sole purpose of finding strategies and what questions may appear at the time of testing. The book answered most of my questions and settled fears before taking the test. The book explains how the analogies work and why. The test sheets are an added benefit so I am able to practice staying within the time limits and review my answers. Reviewing the answers, both right and wrong, allows me further practice with analogies. This test book is a plus when preparing for the MAT exam.

I received my book in like-new condition, and I'm glad I purchased it! It has been very useful in helping me prepare for the Miller Analogies Test, and I recommend this book to those needing help understanding the type of analogies that will be on the test, etc. It includes 10 practice tests to hone your skills as well!
