There are two main problems with this study guide:1. The practice tests are not in the same format as the actual MAT that you will be taking today; 120 questions in 60 minutes. This is critical because half of the battle when taking the MAT's is learning how to pace yourself properly so that you have enough time to answer all of the questions on the exam and perhaps have some time at the end to review your answers to questions that you found tricky.2. The study content provided in this book is sometimes presented in a manner that is more complicated than it need be and I found that the Kaplan MAT guide was easier to understand, gave the user great MAT test taking strategy, had practice tests identical to the actual MAT, contained more content that was on the actual MAT exam that I took and overall prepared me so much better than the McGraw-Hill's MAT guide.
The MAT book I ordered is for the sole purpose of finding strategies and what questions may appear at the time of testing. The book answered most of my questions and settled fears before taking the test. The book explains how the analogies work and why. The test sheets are an added benefit so I am able to practice staying within the time limits and review my answers. Reviewing the answers, both right and wrong, allows me further practice with analogies. This test book is a plus when preparing for the MAT exam.
One bad thing - book arrived with no paperwork, no receipt or anything.Book is a good tool to prep for the test, BUT the test is almost impossible to study for. I am generally good at analogies, but in the case you have to know a lot of content. The practice tests are good an varied, and the last section has some good knowledge references. I would recommend starting way before you need to - I got this about 3 weeks before my test and wish I had got it sooner. However, none of my real test questions were any that were on these practices, but it is a good book to get you used to the test format.
The front of the book was most helpful since it gave different ways to interpret the analogies. I definitely learned from it, though the quizzes were not as helpful since they were so subject centered.
I had never taken the MAT before. I did a couple of practice tests from this book and then scored a 455.
This review book is great, easy to read, and loaded with info and many pratice tests. I improved my scaled score from 400 up to 415 with approx 3-4 hours of review and practice tests.
I don't often post reviews, but I felt this may be helpful to someone debating which study guide to use. I checked this guide and the Kaplan one out of the library.From my understanding I will not be allowed to talk about the actual test questions after I have taken it; however, I have purchased and used the actual MAT study test from Pearson. For some odd reason this book goes really in-depth about areas that didn't really show up on the test (i.e. music, geography and chemical symbols). The actual math was way more about problem solving than about relationships. Furthermore, there are also a few mistakes in this book. It may be nitpicky, but the the date of the Emancipation Proclamation was wrong and a term was incorrectly defined.I prefer the Kaplan study guide. Ultimately, it may be worth the $30 to buy the actual practice test which gives you a detailed score report showing you where your true blind spots are.
This study book gives great insight on how the MAT sets up their analogies. The practice tests are just like the actual MAT and gives real experience.
