Im embarrassed for MENSA,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mensa How To Excel at IQ Tests (Paperback)
The book needed better proofreading, Seriously, what test has duplicate questions (from memory, it was test 3 questions 3 and 7 are identical)? I specifically looked up this website to write this review and I was comforted by the fact someone else beat me to it. Other answers are just plain wrong. You would think, these people are obliviously smarter than me, I must be wrong! But know the answers given in the back contradict the problems (cant work the problem backwards). I suggest someone at MENSA should attempt to work through potential books with their names on it before having the books published. The title is misleading, mostly the back is just an answer key, I rarely seen more than a 2 word explaination of a problem. The book How To Excel At IQ Tests does not help you do anything of the sort. How are you to excel without explaination of answers or even tips?

Not for preparing Mensa IQ test,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mensa How To Excel at IQ Tests (Paperback)
I had almost passed the Mensa test in the past, and I wanted to learn tricks for becoming faster and finally pass it. But this book is bad for me, the title is misleading. Here it's mostly about numerical and verbal problems, while the real Mensa test contains neither (questions are instead mostly like "which picture completes the serie?").It might be helpful for preparing other tests, though.
