I just took the MAT and now I feel like I wasted a lot of time with this book. It sets you up to think you need to cram a lot of high school-esque facts (history, geography, philosophy, music, bla bla) into your head. Which I did, for two weeks. Then I take the test and it seemed to me to be alot of word play type questions, like SLEEP:PEEL::LOOP: and the answer is SLOOP. The REA review didn't have any questions like that in their practice tests, and it's hard to sit there during the test thinking "word jumbles??" and try to get your brain in that track. There were maybe 10 questions that my studying was useful for. I think any other book (and I admit, it was stupid to rely solely on one book!) would have been more useful and on target than this one.
With eight tests and next to no strategy, this book is ideal for a "disaster check" before you take the test--provided you use it as a supplement to other study guides.
Well, I bought this book to study for the test. It was the only book I bought. I scored in the 89th percentile, and I know I would not have done as well if I didn't have this book. Whether I would have done better had I used another book will always be a mystery.
Good book, the history section is too detailed, be sure to know the vocabulary lists thoroughly, they are easy points. The exam is tough but do not panic the results are usually better than you would think.
Good.
