Books : Cracking the GRE Psychology Subject Test, 7th Edition |
- An excellent starting pointThis book is an excellent place to begin you studies for the GRE Psychology exam. I thought it was concise and straightforward. Used in addition to the other preparatory books out there, I managed to pass having only had one introductory psychology class.
I do think it needs to be updated to reflect the content of more recent exams, and I wish it included more than one practice exam. I do not think this book alone is enough to score really high.

- Very Concise and EffectiveAlthough you still have to study (not a magic book) this book cuts the crap and lets you focus on the important concepts and people in an easy to follow way. I thought it was an excellent book and I would purchase more of the same brand.

- This book is EPIC!!!!!!I was studying my tusik off for the GRE, but every book I had read was stupid and pretty gay. The first time I took the GRE I got a C-, but then I read this book - and smoked a ton of weed - and then I took it again and I got a B-, which is an improvement of 39%. So, you should like, read it. ALSO, it's pretty funny.

- I bought this on the recommendation of my professorsI'll admit that I'm not big on studying for standardized tests, which is why I didn't bother with Kaplan. I got through the whole thing in two days. It won't teach you anything new, but you'll retrieve the answers more quickly because you've seen them recently. I'm sure I was faster and more confident taking the GRE because of this book, and being relaxed probably helped me pull a better score.
The math section is terrible. I had to pull out my stats textbook for a proper review.
There were some sections where I wanted to argue with the book because I thought it was simplifying matters so much that they were misrepresented. That's always going to be the case with reviews, but you'll still want to think critically about what you're reading.
Overall, I'd say it was a very good use of my time and money.
P.S. Amazon.com now thinks I would enjoy books about passing the SAT, AP US History, and the second grade. Oh man! Sign me up. I'd ace the second grade!

- Good for last-minute studyingThis book was ideal for last-minue studying for the GRE psych exam. It provides a solid review and was basically a bullet-point list of almost everything you need. As a review, great but if you need more in-depth explanations you will need to find more information elsewhere. I used this in conjunction with Kaplan's book and did quite well on the exam. Definitely buy this if you are going to take the psych gre!
