 Rating: - REA reviewGood book, the history section is too detailed, be sure to know the vocabulary lists thoroughly, they are easy points. The exam is tough but do not panic the results are usually better than you would think. Rating:  - It helped me a good bitWell, I bought this book to study for the test. It was the only book I bought. I scored in the 89th percentile, and I know I would not have done as well if I didn't have this book. Whether I would have done better had I used another book will always be a mystery. Rating:  - Use something else!!I just took the MAT and now I feel like I wasted a lot of time with this book.
