Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It got the job done
Bought this study guide and passed my exam with 97%... since I was a vet major so all my coursework and knowledge is concentrated in life sciences and not English, I would have to say that it works!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - What a waste of time/money!

The first edition was only a book of practice tests. I have sat for the actual test once already and I think the questions are exactly the types that are asked. The review chapters won't be enough to review, but no one book ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Illogical Questions and an Inaccurate Representation
The review material and explanations were scarce and hardly helpful. The test questions ignored many aspects of the test (including grammar questions and general theory questions) while stressing elements that are not tested on the real ETS version of the test. In fact many of the questions I found many of the test questions to be illogical compared to the real test (In a few cases more than one answer could have been arguably the correct answer).

Another aspect of this book that ... Read More
