Really helpful to practice with actual tests and to see your score. A must for anyone studying for the LSAT

The information in the book is very helpful in preparing me for the exam. I also really like that you have a practice test in the back of the book.

As a teacher, this is great to help my students prepare for the test and really any type of college placement exams. I love the listening sections and I love that there are 10 practice tests in here. Great product!

I liked the tips and tricks mentioned in the book. The book is really helpful in cracking the test.

I found this product to be extremely useful, particularly for the math review.  The format was very easy to follow, with practice problems interspersed and not too much detail on topics (f.u. Kaplan and PR which read like encyclopedias).  The practice tests are also very useful for both verbal and quantitative.  And moreover, the analytic tips they give are spot on.  I don't have my writing score back yet but I got 1470 where my first practice test was somewhere around 1200 before this book.

The authors understand the new GRE very well, and I can't say that's true for the other test companies.

I bought this book sometime before my exam date to practice. The questions helped me "think right" which is very important for the test even if you know the domain subject matter well. It also helped increase my knowledge of the domains by pinpointing aspects that may not have been explicitly called out in a book or training. Having an explanation of why a particular answer was right or wrong was helpful. It certainly helped identify gaps and weaker areas in my study and helped focus my time and efforts in the home stretch.

As helpful as the practice exams were, the Shon Harris audio files available for download from the McGraw Hill website were priceless. It really helped me review the 10 domains in detail. There were a couple of glitches that I found in the audio files (two of them were truncated) but that was easily fixed. I am not an audio book reader but this did help a lot, especially since I wasn't stuck behind a desk trying to read through a 1000+ pages.  :)

This book is AWESOME for the English, math, and reading sections. How-tos and explanation for each type of problem is provided, as well as tips to eliminate answers when you can. I jumped up 30 percentile from the diagnostic test to my official test, with only 1 practice test and two busy weeks in between! I can only imagine if I took a few extra weeks to nail down the root words!

The part for the essay section is ok. The grammar rules are very helpful, but I've yet to find a program that will grade the practice essay sections for you. Oh well. I never had a use for the DVD, but enjoyed the online practice tests thoroughly. However, I never found the mobile app for this book. :(

great practice and easy problems to work through while repeating itself to practice whatever the particular item is on each page

I really liked the format, especially after looking at some other books. I looked at the XAM series, the Kaplan series and others at the bookstore before I purchased these. The XAM book had a bunch of mistakes/typos when I scanned through it so I decided on this one. I didn't have time to go through all of the material. My weakest points were Language Arts and Social Studies so I focused on those areas. I studied for about two weeks just reading everything and writing summaries of the material. Three days before the test I started with the practice tests online and I read the explanations of my mistakes. This is what helped me the most, going through the online practice. It is like the actual test. I only took the test once and passed with flying colors. I would recommend to study the areas that you are less familiar with to improve your overall score.

I paired this with all of the official CBEST practice exams online and passed all portions of the test! I mostly focused on brushing up on my math (and by brushing up, I mean re-teaching), but it was helpful to see how the reading and writing would be set up and worded. This is definitely a helpful tool but I'd recommend checking out the online practice exams to go along with it.

Love the clarity of the text and the practice questions interspersed with the reading.  Having two practice exams is also very helpful in preparing for this beastly test.  One "wish" = an index so when I want to cross reference topics / items between chapters it's easier.

Very helpful book in terms of letting you know what to expect to see on the test and also in terms of giving helpful hints and test taking skills.

This is a welcome addition for anyone preparing for this important test.  It's understandable with great practice questions.  One can't help, if using this with diligence, to score well on the actual test.

The book contains a decent amount of study material and the material is organized fairly well. The practice test in the back was especially helpful as it gives an idea of what the real test is like.

I got this in conjunction with Mometrix's flash card set and it's great.  I needed a lot of refreshing on content, so the cards gave me that and the practice test lets me get ready for the format of the questions.

Great practice for testing yourself on elements of the AGCNS exam. Recommend buying both products

Helped me prepare for the GRE. Had lots of material and it was similar to what I encountered on the test. The CD's were really helpful because it gave me a test-like situation which helped calm my nerves. It was nice to practice taking it on the computer.
