1.0 out of 5 stars It's amazing how easy it is to get a PhD in Economics..., November 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best Test Preparation for the GRE, Graduate Record Examination, Economics (Gre Economics Test) (Paperback)

well, this must be the case considering how terrible this guide is. Even though the authors claim to have PhDs, they have no clue about even introductory micro or macroeconomics. Their questions must be in some sort of secret code because I can't understand them! Their answer explanations are often wrong and the book is covered with mistakes and errors. If you get utterly frustrated doing their tests, don't worry - the actual test is nothing like it. Just throw this book into the garbage where it belongs and use ETS's preparatory test guide and the textbooks you used in college to review.

1.0 out of 5 stars outdated and badly edited, February 1, 2000

milly - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best Test Preparation for the GRE, Graduate Record Examination, Economics (Gre Economics Test) (Paperback)

i found many mistakes in this book, including errors in formulas in the preparation chapters and miscalculations in the actual answers, not to mention numerous typos. the historical questions were written in the late 80's and haven't been updated since. and the tests overall are much easier than the real thing, so be careful. unfortunately, there isn't a great variety of econ gre books in the market, but if you can find another one, i'd try that before buying this outdated, badly edited book.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT A GOOD PREPARATION FOR THE GRE ECONOMICS TEST, January 27, 2000

By 

Radha Agrawal (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best Test Preparation for the GRE, Graduate Record Examination, Economics (Gre Economics Test) (Paperback)

There are errors in this book, and the focus is off. The writers don't seem to have a good understanding of the GRE economics test, or the desire to find out. I think this book is sold simply by virtue of its title and the absence of any other test guide on the market. The best preparation is to use a good summary of the relevant economics concepts (which I had to prepare myself since I couldn't find any other GRE economics guidebook) and to practise on the actual test that ETS has put out. This approach served me well. Feel free to e-mail me at [e-mail] if you have any further questions.
