Customer Reviews

Advanced, but not always clear

I purchased Michelle Spence's (Cliff's) Miller Analogies Test Preparation Guide as well as Sternberg's (Barron's) How to Prepare for the MAT -- probably overkill -- but I studied both thoroughly and got a very high score. It was worth it! I have a hunch that Sternberg helped more in the middle score ranges and perhaps Spence in the higher more difficult analogies. Spence stretched my limits. She was more abstract, often leaving me unsatisfied that I understood or agreed with her logic. Sternberg offered clear and helpful details not only about the analogies, but also about every angle of preparing for the test. If I had to choose only one, I would buy Sternberg, but together they offered considerable strength. I think Spence probably added to my score at the top. When I finished the actual test, I felt I had not done as well as I had on the practice tests in either of the preparation books, but actually I had scored higher than nearly all my scores on the practice tests. I valued both of their insights.
