This did a fairly good job at preping me for the test. Of course I don't know what my scores are going to be just yet, nor do I have any way of knowing what I would have gotten without this book but I like to think this may have upped my score, at least a bit.
I do have a minor complaint, I feel that this book poorly represented some of the questions in the English section of the test. In this book there are many examples of what could replace an underlined section, but none where the question asked you to find the least correct answer, as there was in the real test. The introduction of this new question was not difficult for me to figure out, but it was a bit surprising since I was working off the assumption that I had exposed myself to all of the types of questions.
