Rating:  - Did not prepare me enough - don't believe the reviews!I used this book (and the Princeton Review's Cracking the GRE) to prepare for the PSY GRE. I knew both books cold, and scored extremely highly on all the included practice tests.

If, however, you lack any of the above courses or want some extra reassurance come test ... Read More Rating: - Very helpful review-impossible to cover everythingI found Kaplan's Psychology review to be easy to get through and an effective study aid. The chapters were divided by subject matter and covered all major topics. It was a good refresher for those who studied psychology previously. I also used an introductory psychology text book, which I would recommend if you have time.
