I was studying for the GRE not long ago, and was using a book by Kaplan, Word Power or Word something - a vocabulary/word study book - the last book you would expect to see errors in. It was riddled with mistakes, riddled - there was an error of some kind every two or three pages. A vocabulary study book published by one of the top GRE study companies! Haven't checked the subsequent editions of the book to see if anyone bothered to correct all the errors.
Do not rely on that book. Beside you can probably pass the GRE in a breeze.
Thanks but I want 99th percentile! You're right, many of these test study guides are terrible, didn't take too long to figure that out. I know I won't trust Kaplan anymore if they market a product that bad.
I would actually tend to think that even for a non
history major, such as myself, a chemistry major
instead - one might refer to me as the casual reader
of history - or even of the daily news - it is entirely
too easy to see bias in everything. Propaganda in our
news - bold faces lies to the public - no one knew what
a womanizer Kennedy was till later. No one knew that
T. Roosevelt couldn't stand up, and in retrospect; Nixon
looks like an honest, decent man by comparison to what
we have had in office in the recent past. Honestly, I do
believe that the American people are manipulated just as
easily as they used to think communists were.
