Awful book in my opinion. The review section is a joke. it is advertised as "the only book you'll need to study from" and yet rather than conveying any information it just recommends a plethora of other textbooks you should read for more coverage. I would recommend purchasing this for the practice tests which are not as abundant in other practice books. Although I found some mistakes in the diagnostic test...
I bought this for my studying with the GRE Psychology test. Because this is the only one now that has the DSM-V dx. I had to change my date and will wait for the Kaplan one (June 2016). Even though this has the actual text materials a plus), but the explanations are HORRIBLE. If you been out of the game (I have my Masters for 6 years now) I need a good refresher and the explanations have no explanation. Ex: REM sleep is the correct answer because that's the definition of REM sleep; when the question was more like a scenario. Kaplan will explain better but the tests are not the same as the official ones. So I know I will use the Kaplan for studying and the Barron's one for the Diagnostic tests ONLY.
EXPLAINS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW: NO MORE NO LESS. The TES-TAKING STRATEGIES were #1 VITAL to doing well on the test. Allows you to concentrate on the details you need. The Practice tests are great. Buy it. It's easily written and to the point. 10/10 would buy again if I had to.
The structure of this book is ideal for setting a schedule for diagnostic testing, identifying weak areas for further study, and taking full-length tests. There are two diagnostic tests grouped by subject matter, and three tests that are not grouped that way (so as to most closely match the real test).The book also recommends a specific textbook in introductory psychology that you should buy in order to ensure that you are up-to-date with all the DSM-5 changes. I wish I had seen that before purchasing a textbook for review!I am using the intro textbook I did purchase in concert with this test prep book and a rented digital copy of the DSM-5. I definitely appreciate that this book has so much actual subject content for review, but it would not be enough on its own to obtain a top score. It is still the best test prep book for the GRE Psychology subject test that I've encountered.
The actual review section of this book is horrible (USE PRINCETON REVIEW). It is not organized well, and reads like a boring textbook. There are very few diagrams, images, or even breaks in text. Each chapter consists of a large list of vocabulary/researchers, and then 5-15 pages of detailed information you will NOT need on the GRE.However, this book does contain 5 full practice exams, which most Psych GRE review materials don't include. That's the one benefit of having this book as a resource.
Awful book. The only reason why I didn't give it 1 star was because of the diagnostic and practice tests (which were useful).The review section was absolutely terrible. They are written in a very UNORGANIZED and non-linear fashion. The chapter outlines occur randomly and DO NOT necessarily match what was in their actual text. It was as though a different author wrote each page of the book. They introduced new terms and didn't bother defining them until pages later! I SPENT MORE TIME RE-ORGANIZING the material than actually reading through it all.
This book is mostly unhelpful. People have cited the practice tests as the only redeeming quality, but when the practice tests have questions that all about which of the Big Five personality traits are easiest to identify in animals and the answer explanation is about the author's affinity for octopus research and their desire to meet an octopus named "Lucretia McEvil" (I wish I was kidding, but I'm not), without mentioning any personality traits, are the practice tests really worth it? If I knew what I know now about this book, I wouldn't have bought it, and I don't recommend anyone else spend money on this.
Would be nice to have just a book of practice tests, but this was thorough and traditional just like most people are accustomed to from a study book such as this.
