Extremely Useful
The book does everything it says on the book. It is excellently organized, it covers the various tests from all the major testing firms, which are the most likely to come up to any test you will encounter, and most importantly, it gives you an idea of the logic that these tests are constructed with! You will see an immediate improvement after you read this book...

helpful
This book covers all of the main test publishers item styles so i found i was well prepared when i eventually came to sit the test when i went for my interview.
I found the book gave me a huge amount of support and really did help boost my confidence. I found the advice about the effect of response rate particularly helpful.The explanation of the way in which abastract reasoning questions vary really helped me to 'see' the answers when I actually came to sit the test.

DOESNT COVER EVERYTHING
Doesn't cover the Diagrammatic reasoning that i got in my bank aptitude test. ie Flow charts with shapes that apply rules to letters.
ie one shape will reverse the letters / drop letters / add letters ect ect
