Clinical Laboratory Science Review 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book is concise, all the choices have detailed information for ruling out and choosing the correct answer. It's great for a test practice in choosing the right answer and not to look for a clue or take a wild guest.

Great Book 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My graduating class had an exit exam before graduation, this is the review book that our teacher got our material from. Some of the questions are hard, but every question is explained on how they got that answer. There is over 5 pages of color plates in the book and they each have questions. You also get a CD-rom with your book and that thing is awesome. You can create your own quizzes or take their 200 question color plate quiz. The book really helps. I love it personally.

Editorial Review:

Clinical Laboratory Science Review is the essential resource for students preparing to sit for the certification and licensure examinations in clinical laboratory science. The order and progression of questions parallels the presentation of classroom content in CLS, and the answers serve as a study guide as well as a self-assessment. Plus, the third edition of this popular review book has been completely updated, and now includes over 850 additional, new questions on a student CD-ROM!

I work for a scholarship organization and we do workshops with parents and students. One of the things we talk to them about is researching scholarships; and they never know where to begin. We find that raffling off this comprehensive book is a great start aside from websites.

Great guide for soon to be psychologists! 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book is a comprehensive, step-by-step walk through the application process from thinking about going to grad school to accepting and declining offers (and what to do if you don't get in). It has checklists for choosing schools, one for each application you send in, and one to help in getting strong letters of recommendation. I would recommend this text to anyone applying to a graduate program in psych but would also encourage you to pick up supplemental books about writing a personal statement or whatever you'll need more than a chapter to help you.

very specific 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I think this book is really good for someone who has toyed with the idea of graduate school long after they've finished their undergraduate degree or while in high school. However, if you are currently in college, this book is superfluous to knowledge you should gain in senior level courses.

Editorial Review:

"Getting In" clearly and systematically guides readers through each phase of graduate school admission. Using this book, readers will gain practical insights from university administrators, faculty, and financial aid directors. This resources enables readers to create an application strategy that they can pursue confidently from the first step until the last.

A Great Book for Kids 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

If you are the kind of person who likes scary-romantic stories, you're the person who'd probably like this book! I suggest you try it out. There are a few sad parts in this book, although it is a very good story.

Hugo's commentary on the death penalty 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This novel was written as an argument against the death penalty. The victim was a young, naive innocent girl caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. She was falsely charged by an overzealous prosecutor, then condemned to death for a crime that didn't even take place!

After being rescued by Quasimoto and hiding from the crowds, the King, thinking the mob wanted her hanged, ordered her death, with no knowledge or even any interest in her situation. Thus, she was murdered.

I never previously paid much attention to the debates charging that the death penalty should be abolished, nor did I understand the reasons. I must say, however, that as hard as it was for me to read this book, (I'm not experienced at reading the classics) it changed my mind and made me see the problems with the death penalty.

Editorial Review:

Outcast by society because of his hideous appearance, Quasimodo lives under the protection of Claude Frollo, his foster father, and the cathedral itself. His world revolves around his fifteen bells and Frollo. But once the beautiful gypsy girl La Esmeralda enters their lives, all begins to crumble and things can never return to the way they were.

fantastic vocab sections, but so-so on question types 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The Kaplan Verbal Workbook has a great vocabulary list, often with related words and synonyms in the definition. There's a word root list comparable with other GRE prep books, but the Workbook takes word recognition one step further with its Word Groups (eg audacious, courageous, and dauntless are all degrees of boldness) and Opposite Drills--good strategy for GRE, since GRE doesn't test the exact word definition, but your recognition of the best answer choice.

However, I found the exercises on the actual four types of questions to be different from ETS published exams. The "best" answers were sometimes not as clearly differentiated from the rest of the choices. I prefer to do test simulations with ETS's past exams or from Barron's books.

Despite my doubts on the questions, I would still buy this book again for its stellar vocabulary-building sections.

Editorial Review:

This comprehensive guide includes:

-- NEW! Comprehensive details on the new question type

-- Hundreds of practice questions 

-- Detailed answer explanations 

-- Kaplan-exclusive strategies for all question types 

-- Powerful vocabulary-building methods 

-- Complete chapter dedicated to the Analytical Writing Section

Best Economics Book 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

If you are looking for an economics book that isn't going to put you to sleep, this is the one. It is complete yet interesting to read. Yes, I said interesting in the same sentence as economics. Arnold uses many real life examples that the average student can relate to and keeps the math to a minimum (there is an appendix for this stuff). By far the best intro to econ books are by Arnold.

Editorial Review:

A complete introduction to the principles of macroeconomics for the 1-term course. Available in softcover and loose leaf versions. Balanced presentation of major macro theories, thorough integration of international topics, a unique active-learning format, a wealth of interesting real-world applications, and a unique focus on the economic way of thinking are presented in an interesting and upbeat style so that students can appreciate the material. Economics on the Internet offers hands-on exercises in economics on the Internet. Visually striking full-color format. A remarkably accessible text with solid theoretical context.
