Cracking the GRE Psychology Subject Test, 8th Edition PDF

I purchased this book with about a month's worth of time to study for my Psych GRE. I read through it once without taking notes. Then I went back through it and with each paragraph I read, I wrote a sentence or two in my notes about what that paragraph had said. I used the study tips it provides at the end of every chapter. One of the great things about the field of psychology is that it teaches you little tricks you can use use to more effectively study psychology. The book claims to teach you everything you'll need to know to ace the test and when I got there I found it really had. Consequently I absolutely nailed that exam (99th percentile!). There was only a handful of questions that I encountered on the test that I wasn't sure of, and most of them I could actually tell you where in the book the answers had been I just couldn't remember which name went with which theory. I really liked how it broke down the different areas within psychology by chapter, covered the important big wigs in each field and described in nice, short, succinct language the highlights of each field. In all actuality, I think I learned more from this book about certain parts of the field of psychology (like statistics for instance) than I did from my four years of formal undergraduate education. It gives you a sample test for you to check your progress which is also nice. It even has a chapter in the appendix that gives you great tips about applying to graduate schools and what type of school and degree you should pursue for various career goals. This book was definitely a superb study resource. That being said, no matter how good of a resource it is, it won't help you if you don't put in the time and effort yourself to utilize it to its fullest extent. So give yourself plenty of time beforehand to study the heck out of this thing and that GRE will be the easiest test you've ever taken.

The bulk of the book summarizes major findings in psychology. At the end of the book, there is a 205 question practice test. I'm an undergrad--I found it really informative to see the kinds of questions I might encounter, which ranged from the familiar to the foreign. This section, in particular, gave me a succinct crash course regarding what I still need to study. There is an additional section with some general advice and information about the application process.

Pros: All in all, I feel the book has been really useful in pinning down what I do and do not know.
Cons: Summarizes major themes, but does not usually explain them. It's not the end-all--prepare with your textbooks.

Very informative.
