    Don't bother.

    This book is a decent general reference--a nice enough outline or a last-minute refresher--but if you're looking for the level of detail that will be actually demanded from you on the GREs, you'd be a lot better off rereading your texts obsessively (assuming you actually kept them, which you'd better hope you have). I used this book for a solid 3 weeks, and after taking the test today I can tell you that there's plenty it doesn't go over, or even mention. The chapters dealing with the brain (learning, cognition, physiopsych, and ESPECIALLY sensation/perception) are woefully deficient, and as for a good look at research on gender differences, forget it--you won't find it here. These are just the most glaring examples; many of the major theories are given exceedingly short blurbs, with no meat or understanding to them. How can we know our Piaget when the entire theory is presented in two small tables? It's all well and good to know that Melanie Klein founded object-relations theory, but the theory isn't even defined, just described as an offshoot of psychoanalysis! You get the idea. If you're desperate for some help, and don't need that high a score to get into the programs you want, then this is probably a good choice; if you're heading for a competitive field and want something that actually prepares you for the real GREs, look elsewhere.
