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.

The beginning of this book has two Amazon reviews for book 1 and apparently both book 1 and book 2 have the exact same two Amazon reviews. I personally do not like seeing that sort of thing. If you are already holding book 2 and reading it from wherever you obtained/ purchased it, it seems unnecessary to be given Amazon reviews (or any reviews) for book 1 whether you have had book 1 or not. A mention of the book would be enough such as when there is a series and it is one of many books by the same publisher. I noticed that there is a “GRE Books in Test Prep Series” section which is more than enough.

Like the other GRE books that I reviewed, it may be my epub reader or the book itself, but I wanted to make sure it was known that there is a lack of space between the chapter number and chapter title in the table of contents which is hard to overlook.

I did not see any missing letters or typos in this book in the table of contents. I noticed that there were some more capitalization in the essay topics but possibly only due to them being proper nouns or it may actually be an inconsistency that should be fixed.

The overview of the book has information about the GRE in great detail. If I did not have access to any of the other books, my questions would still be answered. I enjoy this being a big part of all the books in case a test taker has only one book and not all in the series.

The amount of content that this book has is still great considering that book 1 did over 70 issue tasks and over 70 argument tasks. The sample essay provided along with the explanation on how to 1. Analyze the task (issue or argument) and 2. Strategies you can use are extremely helpful. The consistency between book 1 and book 2 in this aspect is very important and should be kept as is. There is not anything lacking in this area of the book to mention.

Appears to be good preparation for this book, but I appreciated the work. I haven't tested it in testing, yet, but I'm hopeful it built my confidence. ( )
