"GRE Analytical Writing: Solutions to the Real Essay Topics - Book 1 (Test Prep Series)" is a reasonably robust presentation of anticipated topics on the GRE. However, for those in need of remediation in writing and composition, it falls a little short. The writing in the book itself could use improvement. For example, in the section "Strategies for Completing Analytical Writing Measure" the paragraph should lead with the very most important phrase to alert the reader to its content; that strategy would allow a busy student to skim the area to make the best use of their study time. That paragraph should have begun with the sentence "Budgeting your time is crucial." (An exclamation point there would have helped in that regard, too!). How ironic that the structure of that paragraph is contrary to best management of time. Also a very important article of speech -- the word 'the'-- is missing from the that paragraph heading. That single missing word may not seem all that important however, in a book that is supposed to guide students through a test on essay writing, using proper grammar when presenting information is a must! As the authors point out, the GRE test was not created to assess personal knowledge about specific essay topics, but rather to assess the student's academic skill and propensity for success as a graduate student. A key skill in that regard is the artful ability to write essays to inform, persuade and even entertain an audience.
One of the sample essays on the Arts is rather rambling. What may be more helpful to readers is to show two (or more) sample essays side-by-side with highlighted edits to demonstrate the process. The rambling sample essay also departs from what is generally taught in graduate programs on how to write an academically-focused (rather than entertainment-focused) essay: begin by telling the reader what is coming, present the main argument(s) and wrap up by reminding them of what they've already been told. Yes, that isn't the most creative style of writing, and to some of us academicians it's stodgy and boring, but that is what so many in academia expect from students and each other. Alerting readers to that heuristic format would be helpful.
Also missing from this book is a discussion on how students should cite their work during the test. Academic essays, unlike Op-Ed pieces and essays created for entertainment, academic works must include citations. The issue of plagiarism has recently sent disturbing shock waves through academia and eroded the public's trust in scholars' ability to perform in an ethical manner. Companies such as ETS are probably facing increased scrutiny and are responding by putting greater emphasis on identifying plagiarism.
The book does provide a rather comprehensive list of sample topics. A reader could choose a topic and be prepared for the test by becoming familiar with the most common sources on the topic, memorizing one or two references that could be cited on the exam essay. A student who can demonstrate that he or she is not only able to think clearly and independently but is also doing his or her best to avoid plagiarism is likely to receive a favorable reading of their test essay.

This book looks like a good resource - they explain what's going to happen and why, give some examples before going into the test prep questions, and then follow up at the end with a "this is why Answers A, B and D are wrong and Answer C is right"-type section for all of the questions, which is what you should want in a resource like this.

Nothing's going to be a magic silver bullet, but this book looks like a solid study resource.

I have 3 sons in or about to be entering high school. I thought that this would be a good book to look into to help them with their SAT prep. Since the last paper test was given this October, preparing them for the digital test is very important. I found this review copy to have a lot of useful information and helpful questions to help my children prepare. Thank you to LibraryThing and Vibrant Publishing for this review copy.

Thankful that this workbook is so easy to maneuver, though its questions are challenging. A very useful resource for my work as a tutor overseas.

I am new to Java and didn't really know what to expect once I started using my skills in the real world. This book not only helped understand what I may be asked in an interview but also gave cases to improve my working knowledge of Java. Working through the questions gave me better insight into what I thought I knew but needed work on and made me better at Java.
*Note: I recieved this book for free in exchange for an honest review*

This book took quite awhile to get through. There were typos and a few errors that I noticed. Not sure if this book was rushed through or the editor didn't do their job. Nothing ground breaking here, as the book seemed similar to other books out on the subject matter. I'd pass this one by since there are better Java interview prep books out there.

This is a great help to review for the test. It gives examples and explanations. There are practice problems. It gives you advice for the test.

An invaluable resource, both rigorous and reassuring
I have worked as an educator for several generations now. When my former students began asking for advice on how THEIR children might prepare for the new digital versions of the SAT, I feared I might have reached the end of my usefulness in this realm. But thanks to Practice Tests for the Digital SAT, I was able to relax, recommend it to them and reinforce some of its extensive and helpful tips. I was particularly impressed by the rigorousness of the reading/writing questions: while math is not my strong suit, I could also see that those questions were challenging but clear, and the explanations of correct/incorrect answers phrased to heighten student understanding/confidence. Students who proceed through the entire guide will definitely be reassured about their test performance, and being able to refer back to the fine points of taking it digitally as often as they like, is a real bonus.

Organizational Behavior Essentials You Always Wanted to Know is a well researched and a great resource to reference as you learn everything about organizations from individuals, leaders, and everything in between.

I honestly think this should be required reading for organizations in all areas of expertise as it gives much needed information for responses to different situations that can happen to many organizations. The quizzes at the end of each chapter really help to gauge where you are in your knowledge, something I found to be supremely helpful.

Though this resource is more on the textbook spectrum I still found it supremely beneficial, and I’m sure you will too.
