Summary: Great!
Comment: This book covers EVERYTHING. But getting it and opening the box was daunting to see the sheer size of the over 1100 page book.
Get the version with the CD-ROM. At the very least you can take the pre tests on the CD-ROM and it tells you in the results exactly where your weaknesses are and which pages of the book to cover. Without it I probably wouldve read the book cover to cover. With it, I found I can pretty much skip the science chapter (I haven't taken the other pre tests yet).
I must say, some of the questions are probably more difficult than what the actual GED asks as Ive had some average friends go in and take the GED without any classes/studying after several years of being out of school and passed.

Summary: GED book
Comment: The second book I purchased for my neices to help them with their future. I reviewed and this book will definitely give them what they need to know to pass the GED test.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Parent-Friendly too
Comment: I bought the McGraw-Hill GED text for my 17 year old child. We decided that it was best for her to get a GED rather than through the traditional method of attending high school for reasons unrelated to this review.
When the book arrived, I was a bit taken aback by this sheer size of it and somewhat concerned that my child would also be alarmed. However, upon reading through the text, I found it very straight forward and easy to follow. We review the chapters together and have set a goal of 2 full chapters per week - there are 30 individual chapters.
In addition, I purchased the text with the optional CD ROM. It contains sample tests which can be taken either at your leisure or using the exam's timer. The sample tests appear somewhat similar in format as well as difficulty to what I took completing my CLEP exams (I'm not sure if that means colleges have been dumbed down or that students are smarter). At the very least, the practice exam format should be good practice for taking this style of exam in the GED (and later in the CLEP exams).
While my child has not taken the GED exam to date, she has studied the text and taken the sample exams on her own which seems to be instilling some new-found confidence in her academic abilities.
For the sheer volume and information, the text is a very good bargain. The chapters are short, well written, and to the point, which make it better for the student who may have difficulties spending large amounts of time covering the material. Finally, I would advise spending the extra few dollars for the CD ROM when deciding which version to purchase.

Summary: CD is user friendly for a sixteen year old.
Comment: Sixteen year old finds the CD helpful and matches her study material that is being provided at school.
