5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the read, March 19, 2006

By	M. Scanlon (Philadelphia PA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book provided practical knowledge and alot of good practice questions. It was very very similar to the acual test. I recommend getting it if you are planning on taking the Miller Analogies test.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is weak test prep compared to others, June 24, 2008

By	Lynn S. "Shops on-line" (Pasadena, CA) - See all my reviews

While the explanation of the test and scoring is okay - the formulated test prep questions are not the same quality as those on the real test. The CD is useful in that it familiarized me with the computer based format that I was to take - but the questions were too similar and simplistic. Had I only used this book, I would have been woefully under prepared. Go with one of the other titles instead. This book was a waste of money.

I'd never taken the MAT, so I was worried. I bought a used copy where some practice test pages were loose, but you could still use them. I did a bunch of the tests in the different 'categories' and when I took the MAT for the first time a few weeks later, I did very well.
I'd recommend this book, because even if you think you *know* how to do analogies, the author teaches you how to identify the type of analogy one is when you look at it so that you can quickly discover from what angle to process it.
I blew the top off mine!
