Summary: A MUST HAVE
Comment: After reading all the amazon reviews of psych GRE books I decided on two: Kaplan and Princeton Review. Although I had plenty of time to study (over 3 months), I focused 90% of my time studying Princeton Review, mainly because of its less intimidating size. BIG MISTAKE. By the time I got to read through Kaplan, I realized just how much important material I had missed. However, by then it was too late to read through the whole book, as the test was only a couple weeks week away. Although I had memorized theorists and definitions galore from Princeton Review, I did not do well on the test. Practice GREs scored me in the 99th percentile, so of course I thought I was on the right track. Wrong! I only scored a 600 on the exam and was truly disappointed. I was even more disappointed when I realized everything I needed to do well on the exam was right in front of me with Kaplan. In fact, if I had not studied at least some of Kaplan, I don't think I would have even hit 600! All the material that I did go over from Kaplan was on the test, while the massive definitions and theorists Princeton Review provided did nothing to help me answer the more in-depth type of questions that the GRE calls for. Kaplan is a great book because it actually goes into great detail about the material you need to know! I was extremely disappointed in Princeton Review and in myself for wasting my time. If I take the exam again I will study this book throughly and stay far, far away from Princeton Review. Not only is this book extremely thorough and allows for a very clear understanding of the material...it is actually very interesting to read! Why memorize 2-sentence blurbs that don't really make sense and doesn't really teach you anything, when you can actually LEARN and UNDERSTAND the material. The size might be a little nerve-wracking, but if you're really invested in doing well on this exam I highly suggest this book.

Summary: so far so good
Comment: I haven't taken the test, yet, so I can't say for sure how applicable this book is to the actual test, but I am finding the Kaplan to be very well written. It appears to go into the right level of depth without overwhelming you. I find the examples very helpful.
I also have the ARCO (difficult to find as it is out of print) which came highly recommended. The Arco book is more concise than Kaplan (about half the pages), but for unfamiliar material it feels like a memorization fest. The Arco, however, may be more on track with what is actually tested by the GRE (or so I hear). So the combination of the two books is what I hope works.
I have leafed through the Princeton Review, and it seems even more concise than the Arco. Doesn't work for me, but I don't have a full major in Psychology. If this is all just review for you, PR might be fine.

Summary: Lots of Stuff, Lots of Errors
Comment: I am disappointed at the amount of errors in the text and in figures here. If I didn't have a basic understanding of most of this, I would be incredibly frustrated. Proper names are misspelled, somehow the word "Conservation" got switched to "conversation," and figures, meant to teach are out and out wrong. I didn't look at the Princeton book, but if I had the time, I would.
