 Rating: - terribleThe other reviewers are right. I got this book because it was the only thing out there - I thought, whatever the rating, it can't be worse than nothing, at least there's a practice test. That's not a good reason! I was wrong! Just review your textbooks! Or maybe browse Wikipedia, if you don't have any textbooks... or just get some sleep... I couldn't even force myself to finish the practice test. As another reviewer notes, the very first question has the wrong answer listed. But ... Read More Rating: - a comprehensive mistakeFrom a senior at the Missouri University of Science and Technology studying both computer science and computer engineering: The practice exam enclosed in this book does not closely match with the present exam made available by ETS 'for free' online.

I can only hope I stopped reading it soon enough. Interestingly enough, the author of the brief review section goes on a rant about what makes a bad practice test, in which he manages to describe many features of the practice test in the book itself.

Maybe thats a good thing, since judging by the reviews here, he may know what it takes to put out garbage. Rating: - Disturbingly bad.Like other reviewers, I bought this book because it was in-stock. Like other reviewers, I found the book... lacking in correctness. It's hard to study for a test from a book that has incorrect answers. I have _ZERO_ confidence that this book has in ANY way prepared me for the CompSci GRE test :( I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this, and both the author and publisher will be getting a nastygram about this one.
