Good book, a little too basic if you are aiming for the 99th percentile, add Sternberg and Budd for completeness. Good art and literature section, good vocabulary list. Inadequate for history. Do all the practice tests, pace yourself during the exam, it's difficult but you will do better than you think.
I needed to take my MAT earlier than I originally expected in order for my scores to make it to the grad school I was applying for on time. With the help of this study guide, I passed the first time.
This is good book to use as a review and to take practice tests but there are errors. I have found several. It usually pertains to the letter given as the correct anwser; Example page 35 #2. There are others like this so watch very closely when grading your test.
Buying test books can really add up--so I'm glad I didn't pay full price for this, especially considering what you get! There are lots of errors especially in the self-grading section, and from a big expensive company like Kaplan, I expect a LOT more. The tests are also not that hard and I've heard from other people that Kaplan's practice tests aren't as hard as the real MAT--they felt underprepared. The good thing is it does have a pretty good study guide section and has a bunch of practice tests!I also bought Barron's version, and was much more impressed--the tests were harder and it doesn't seem to have the many errors that Kaplan's has.
