Good Content Review; Fair Model Tests VA Shopper In a nutshell, buy this prep book if your goal is a very detailed review of content. If you have actually read your spine text, mastered all its terms, and done well on course quizzes and midterms, then you could likely purchase a skinnier volume than Barron's and do fine. This is too much for a weekend of review, but IS well suited for use over several weeks, a semester, or a year. What Barron's does well -- better than REA and MyMaxScore -- is to provide a comprehensive but focused. "Good preparation" according to Kate70. I like it although I wish they would provide a supplementary disc for computer use.. "Five Stars" according to catk. Used only this book to study and got a 5 I think it definitely helped me.
