Cracking the MAT, 3rd Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation)
This review is from: Cracking the MAT, 3rd Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation) (Paperback)
I bought this book in 8/05 (3rd edition) and all the errors indicated in the other reviews were fixed. I really think amazon.com should remove them. I scared me after I had bought it, and paid 20$ for it, that it would be riddled with mistakes.
It was divided up really well and had great time management solutions. The MAT is 60 mins with 20 "test" questions that do not count, of course you do not know which those are. The guides on culture and geography helped me the most! DO not be scared to buy this guide, it was worth it...

This book was very helpful. I only took the test once and passed with flying colors (and I graduated from college about 20 years ago!). It gives very good strategies for taking multiple choice tests.

A great guide. Gives you an idea of how the test's creators think, along with a strategy for identifying and solving different types of analogies.
I used this guide along with the practice tests in Kaplan's an hour or so each day for a week preceding the exam and got a scaled score of 461 - 99th percentile in my field and overall. Highly recommend.
