Customer Reviews

Great...

The book was purchased, shipped and arrived in a very short time and was in the condition it was marketed as. I saved a bunch and am pleased with my purchase.

AWESOME

Got book earlier than expected. Was in excellent condition. Would buy from seller again. Very much satisfied.

A nice job!

I was happy with my books, i got them on time. I will definitely buy again when i need to. Thanks!

An excellent resource!

I was surprised to see this book ranked so poorly and then read the predominantly negative reviews of this book. As a psychology instructor and a PhD student I've found this book to be invaluable. It is an excellent introduction to the topic and although I have over a dozen reference tools on psychological assessment I frequently refer to this one when I need a concise definition or brief discussion of a topic. I recommend to my students who are headed to grad school to hang on to this text!

Great Read

This is a textbook- teaching you about tests It is a lot of information but a good read. I'm an undergraduate and with a hectic schedule and the reading goes by fairly easily. I take my book with me and actually enjoy it. I especially like the crossword puzzles in the review book. Would recommend to anyone who wants to really understand testing in our culture today. *Caution- the book goes into statistics a little, so you need to have already completed a course in stats to understand some of the items.
