skimpy on strategy 3 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I'm taking an MCAT course this summer b/c I'm taking the MCAT and DAT. I'm studying science through my MCAT course, so I bought this book for PAT, math, and reading comp review. I also bought Barron's. Compared to Barron's the PAT and reading comp section are VERY skimpy. In Kaplan, the PAT questions seem too easy and they barely offer any tips on how to tackle them. I didn't have a strong grasp on PAT after reading it. The reading comp section is merely a practice reading comp test (how am I supposed to do well on it if they don't offer any strategy beforehand?). Barron's has a very comprehensive PAT section, which I highly recommend, and the reading section at least has some advice. I haven't taken a good look at the science sections yet, but Kaplan seems stronger in science than Barron's and it definitely has a bigger math section.

The main reason why I bought Kaplan is because it has a practice computer test, which is crucial for getting used to computer-based testing, and it's the most updated DAT study material available. I will also be purchasing the TopScore tests, which also just came out with a 2008 version for extra practice. In a nutshell, I wouldn't study for the DAT from the Kaplan book alone, but it seems like a good study guide overall.

Editorial Review:

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most important trend of development and it is revolutionizing the construction industry. It has gained tremendous momentum and has a profound impact on our environment.

From this book, you will learn how to

1. Pass LEED AP exam.

2. Register and certify a building for LEED certification.

3. Understand the intent for each LEED prerequisite and credit.

4. Calculate points for LEED credit.

5. Identify the responsible party for each prerequisite and credit.

6. Earn extra credit (Exemplary Performance) for LEED.

7. Implement the local codes and building standards for prerequisite and credit.

8. Get points for categories not yet clearly defined by USGBC.

Most of the existing books on LEED and LEED AP are too expensive and too complicated to be practical and helpful. This pocket guide demystifies LEED and uncovers the secrets, codes and jargons for LEED as well as the true meaning of "going green." It will set up a solid foundation and fundamental framework of LEED for you. It covers every aspect of LEED-NC in plain and concise language, and introduces it to ordinary people.

This pocket guide is small and easy to carry around. You can read it whenever you have a few extra minutes. It is an indispensable book for ordinary people, developers, contractors, architects, landscape architects, civil, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers, interns, drafters, designers and other design professionals.

My favorite of the GRE prep books! 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

In preparing for the GRE, I did some research as to which prep books were user's favorites and then narrowed them down to the top 3: Barron's, Kaplan and Princeton Review, not necessarily in that order but it turned out that way for me. I used the Barron's GRE as my main prep book, in terms of memorising word lists, studying the basic math formulas, and applying math skills towards problem-solving. However, Barron's is not very helpful in terms of preparing for the essay component which didn't really matter that much since the essay component is the least important component of the GRE anyway. So for the purposes of preparing for the verbal and quantitative component, Barron's was adequate.

That being said, I would recommend supplementing Barron's GRE with at least two other prep books. I found Kaplan's and the Princeton Review prep books [with the CD-ROM] to be excellent resources in helping me develop familiarity with the CAT model. However, I place Kaplan above the Princeton Review as I found the Princeton Review's online access tools too cumbersome and not user-friendly. The CAT tests provided on both though were quite good.

All in all, Barron's GRE Prep [I got the one without the CD-ROM] is a handy study guide covering both verbal and quantitative how-tos. But, you will need some other supplements in order to get more practice tests done, as well as preparing for the essay component.

Editorial Review:

This 17th edition of Barron’s GRE manual reflects recent Graduate Record Exams and presents six full-length model exams with all questions answered and explained. Tests are similar to recent actual GREs in length, question types, and degree of difficulty. The manual also reviews all GRE test topics: antonym, analogy, and sentence-completion questions, reading comprehension, analytical writing, quantitative comparison questions, data interpretation, and math.

An excellent series--get them all! 5 out of 5 stars.
14 of 14 people found this review helpful.

I would highly recommend any of the books in this series by Cheri Meiners. This book has been especially helpful as my 5-year-old sometimes encounters children who *don't* share well or want to take turns. These books caught my eye because the writing level is just right for pre-K and kindergarten children. Truthful without being preachy or overly wordy, the series shows children and family members from many different ethnic groups in the colorful illustrations, and each book addresses issues which are developmentally critical to this particular age group: sharing, taking turns, being afraid, listening, respecting others, helping out at home, etc. These books have given us a starting point to discuss problems at school or interacting with others, and have helped my son to have more empathy for his peers....I am hopeful that this quality will serve him well as he continues on to kindergarten and elementary school. It is exciting to hear him use ideas from this series to problem solve.

Editorial Review:

Sharing is a social skill all children need to learn—the sooner the better. Concrete examples and reinforcing illustrations help children practice sharing, understand how and why to share, and realize the benefits of sharing. Includes a note to teachers and parents, additional information for adults, and activities.

Hey it worked for me, It will work for you!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I will make this short and sweet.
I bought both this book as well as the barons sat US history book.
This one dominates in that it makes it 10 times easier to understand. Barron's has a lot of unnecessary info but it is much more thorough in basically all the reading. BUTT it is many times more boring and often very hard to read and understand.
I read this book about 3 times (takes about like 3-4 hours, short read!!), did the tests and skimmed over the barrons and amazingly got a 760!!! it was weird cus on the practice tests in this book, i score no higher than 720. the barrons tests are RIDICULOUSly hard!!!! might be good just for info review. If your like me, where if the reading gets to complex then you tune out, get this one!!! Barrons is unnecessarily cus i did not learn anything from that to be honest..
*make sure you memorize the ammendments,acts,court cases, and important election dates......which leads to (down)

BUY the sparknotes flash cards!! They work pretty. welll i thought soo.
good luck kids!!!

Did a copy editor get fired? 2 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book is full of typos, spelling errors, and errors in formatting. Also, there is at least one incomplete sentence in the section about REM- I had to look up the topic in other books to figure out what they were trying to say. I have very little confidence in the book, so I've been studying it along with textbooks on each topic. It makes me think that if they spent so little time editing maybe they didn't spend adequate time fact checking either. I'm about to go out and buy a different company's prep book.

excellent book 5 out of 5 stars.

Kaplan Psychology review 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I just took my GRE subject test a few days ago. And I only studied Kaplan's book for my exam. It was extremely helpful. I enjoyed reading it, and most of the questions on the test were covered in the book. However, there were some terms and names that the book did not cover(e.g. didactic behavioral therapy, relational aggression, ...)

Editorial Review:

-- 2 full-length practice tests

-- Intensive psychology review, including social psychology, developmental psychology, personality, abnormal psychology, statistics, and more

-- Effective strategies for scoring higher on the test

I was actually very pleased with this book. I bought it for content and PLT exam. Although this book does have information to help you prepare for the PPST exams also. I have bought numerous books to study from and Kaplan Praxis 2008 was the best and the material and questions are very similar to what is actually on the content and PLT exams.

Not bad 4 out of 5 stars.
