I bought this book because I thought that Mcgraw-Hill would put out a decent exam prep, but I was wrong. The book looks like it is useful until you get to the test for the first section and realize that the answer key is completely wrong. I scored a 24% on the first test and was a little confused. After reviewing the test question by question I discovered why; no one thought it would be important to make sure the key was correct. I thought it was no big deal at first, it was one test and there are plenty more in here. The second test produced the same result plus I found out that their calculations in the math section are wrong (they give you the formulas, but the multiple choice answers given are not the results of the formulas and factors given). Given the choice I would not purchase this book again, but unfortunately I do not have a recommendation to replace it with yet.
