It is a timed word-association test. This updated manual prepares applicants by presenting a diagnostic test and ten additional full-length practice exams. Self-scoring answer keys follow each test, and answer sheets for test-takers' use are located at the back of the book. Test-takers will also find approximately 1300 additional practice exam questions with answers, plus advice on solving analogy problems. This edition's updated introduction fully explains recent revisions to the MAT test, including the addition of experimental questions, many of which are included among this manual's added practice questions. Helpful brush-up check lists cover graduate level vocabulary with brief definitions, selected foreign words and phrases used in English and their meanings, and names of important persons in history, science, technology, and the arts that test-takers should recognize.

I haven't taken the test yet, but feel that this book prepares me much more than Kaplan's MAT book. The practice tests are harder, which is very helpful. And there are a lot of them! I would recommend this book.
This was my favorite of three test prep books for the MAT. It had challenging but varied questions and really explained the types of questions and frequency of those types on the test - which instantly helped me answer a few more correctly.
This is a ridiculous test that you basically can't study for -- but this book has more practise tests than the others. The test hasn't changed in 50 years, so there's no need to buy a "new" addition. But this one.
I wish I would have used this guide studying the first time around. I was pressed for time both times taking the MAT and used the ARGO guide the first time. By the time I got to the last practice test in Barron's, I was scoring an 87. I basically studied for 5 days before the test and ended up scoring a 65th percentile, which was fine with me since my major required 50th percentile. I'm positive if I had more time I could have done much better but was quite happy with my score. I agree with another post that the actual MAT seemed easier than Barron's. If you don't have much time to study, do all the practice tests, and brush up on your vocabulary. Admittedly, I found the ARGO appendices more helpful for quick brush ups on Greek Mythology, etc. Tip: try your local library before buying the guide. I saved myself some money there.
This book proved to be an excellent study guide to help prepare for the MAT's. The test questions along with Historical, Literature and Grammar reviews helped me to prepare for the MAT. SIMILAR ITEMS: |
