 Rating:  - ok, but not good on it's ownThis book explains some of what you need to know for the GRE but: 1) contains a lot of information that you don't need 2)explains only some of what you need and just lists the rest so you have to seek out another book and look that information up. I found Princeton Review to be much more helpful Rating:  - Dense, useless, incomplete.You should not be spending this much time on review. Barron's book is just an intro psyc text book minus the pictures. Look for something that reviews instead of trying to teach. This book was a waste of time and money. I got a 730, but it was no thanks to this books. Major concepts that were on the actual test were not in this book. Use an intro text book, ignore this book. Rating:  - This Book Helped Me Do Well on the GREYou will need a good psych intro book for reference, but this guide outlines all the major areas covered by the GRE. It had great review material, helped me to know which names I'd need to know for the exam, and was a very valuable study aid overall. I got a 760 on the subject test (98 percentile) which I owe in large part to Barrons, and now I'm going to a top 20 program in clinical psychology. Rating: - This prep guide is the worst of the worstI found this book to be AWFUL! The Psychology review was filled with Tables and recommended you to look them all up in an intro to psyc book. I used this book for 1 week and bought 2 new books. I used Arco's GRE Psychology and the ETS Practicing to take the Psychology Test. These two were very useful. Arco's review was very comprehensive, without the minor details that are not covered on the test. Rating:  - Seriously useful, but this shouldn't be your only sourceThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the topic areas that ETS expects you to have down. Its major strength is the diagnostic tests which effectively focus your review on your weak points. If, like me, you're prone to skip the less interesting stuff, the test results broken down by topic area provide excellent motivation to pay a little more attention! However, I would not recommend this as a sole source for GRE studying. You'll need a decent intro psych textbook (obviously) and some ... Read More
