Incomplete and needs revision
I bought this book because I'm interested in mostly Master's programs and Graduate Study in Psychology's coverage of programs is too prolific, including every single program out there.I thought this book would be agood cross-reference of only Master's programs.I also hoped for a littlebit of helpful information about applying to programs, or what to expectfrom a Master's psych program in general.None of this was available.Thebook includes a short glossary of terms and the rest of the book's pagesare dedicated to the programs.However, much space is wasted (pages are50% blank!) because the information given for each program is quite sparse. Most of the information given, while important, is only marginally useful,such as contact addresses, phone numbers, and emails, as well asapplication deadlines and website addresses.Most of this information isreadily available for free online or from the school directly, and Iwouldn't trust time-sensitive info from a book that is not updatedannually.The book is also missing several programs.I was shocked tonotice in Grad Study that Yale has a General Master's in psych when thereis no such listing in this guide.Read more

School Psychologists Beware
I am a graduate student in school psychology. I did not find this book helpful at all. This is not at the fault of the book but rather the distinct style of EVERYONE who writes psycheducational reports. Each professor I deal with wants it a different way. This book may be a good starting ground if you have no clue where to start but otherwise it will just give you basic information. ... Read more

Awful Review Section
I wasted about 4 weeks studying this book's review section.Then I took the practice exam in the back of the book and I couldn't even answer any of the first 25 questions.I don't know what they put in their review section but MAYBE you will find 1/4 of it on the exam.I finally went to my University's library and took out 2 general psych textbooks to study in the two weeks left I have until the exam.I'm really upset that I wasted so much time, if only I knew this 4 weeks ago!The ONLY good thing about this book is the practice exams, beacuse you will be able to get a feel for the test.

Have the authors ever taken the Psychology GRE?
I bought this book because it had six supposedly accurate practice tests.Instead of helping, however, I believe this book may have actually hurt my score.Each practice test had numerous (at least 50% of the total) questions on specific and often obscure theorists.As I had never heard of many of them, I focused my study time on learning their individual theories and areas of research.Much to my surprise, the actual GRE was primarily conceptual, with questions on specific psychologists limited to important researchers that were extrememly influential within their areas of specialization.I am greatly disappointed in this book.

Study Guide?
This book was a total dissapointment. It gave very brief descriptions of individuals and their contributions to psychology (1 sentence) making recall difficult because there was not much to remeber. The book covers a lot of content but not in-depth, which is not helpful as you need to understand concepts and theories for the GRE. The only thing I used this book for was some of the practice tests. If you want some practice writing the test I would recommend this book but for study purposes you should look elsewhere (Kaplan's Study Guide). ... Read more

Good book
Something nagging at me is preventing me from giving this book 5 stars.For one thing, it's purported to be a handbook for current psychology majors, but the first one or two chapters are directed towards evaluating reasons for selecting psychology as a major.If you're not sure or still shaky on your major being psychology, this may help; but for those who are positive and solid in their choice, it's not helpful.To me it states too many things that are obvious.It's definitely not worth nearly $30!"Getting In," the APA-written manual on getting into graduate school, was a little over $10 and was a much better buy than this book.
An Indispensable Resource!
Hi Dr. Kuther! So helpful I gain something new from it with each read
I would recomend this book to every person who is a psychology major.This book has helped me to see all of the diverse areas I can explore during my career and how to best market myself for securing these positions.After having read the book, I can see more clearly all of the skills I have gained and how I can best market and utilize them all in the world.I have read and reread this book many times to consider how to best prepare myself right now and have gained new insight with each read.The book helped to give me more direction and was very clear and has great humor thoughout.I am now really excited about finishing my degree and trying all of the areas I have found that I have great interest in that I was not aware of before. ...
