Kaplan MAT

The Kaplan MAT study guide is an amazing tool. It provided me with all of the best MAT test taking strategies in an easy to understand format. Unlike others that I also purchased, the practice tests in this study guide are in the same format as the real exam (120 questions in 60 minutes), which is critical because part of the goal here is to learn how to pace yourself properly to be able to answer all of the questions in the allotted time frame on the day of the test. The study content included in this guide was right on target and many of the vocabulary words and concepts that I studied thanks to Kaplan, appeared on my actual test.

Love the book so far. I haven't taken the actually MAT yet, but I can already see an improvement just in my practice tests. The book is easy to read and as it explains keys to taking the MAT you learn little extra bits and pieces through repetition of info.

This book was thorough and there were even exact same questions from the study guide on the test. I wasn't taken by surprise on most of the test because of the preparation the book afforded me. I highly recommend...doesn't take a lot of your time to really "get" the MAT.
