Let me preface this review by stating that I'm nearly 8 years removed from undergrad, and I did NOT do exceptionally well in college. For the individual who excelled in college and took the experience serious for all 4 years, this review is not for you...for the indivudals who are at a crossroad in their career and in hindsight may have struggled in undergrad, this review may be a little more applicable.
I would also say that before individuals begin studying any material, begin by planning out a study schedule, because that will ultimately be the key to your success, along with many hours of practice.
In terms of the value of this guide, I would say that it's very good at giving a good starting point for those of us who have been out of "study mood" for awhile.

I had bought this book for my wife, she was aiming for a score of ~ 600 and found this book quite useful.
5 free online practise test itslef are worth the book. Her final score was within the range of score she got from Kaplan practise tests.
Overall, I am satisfied with this book. It might be easy for high potential candidates but good for most people.
