Can anyone recommend psychometric testing books?

I want to start 'practising' for the UKCAT (before the AS level revision gets too heavy!) and considering the 'official' books are not published until April and May, I am hoping that someone on here can recommend any books.I have looked on Amazon and seen the 'Succeed at Psychometric Testing' range which seem ok (separate books for Verbal,Numerical etc.) however they are available in different levels - does anybody know anything about this range and can advise if I should buy the intermediate or advanced level ie.which would more relevant to the UKCAT?
If there are any other books out there that anybody can recc then please advise.

Ta v much.

to be honest, there's no real difference year on year to the 'unofficial' guide to the UKCAT/BMAT. any edition will work perfectly well (I used the 2006 edition when sitting the 2007 test and got an average score of 700).

the kaplan book is good.

all the other psychometric books i tried where wayyyyyyyyy to easy, so I'd stay away from them if I were you

i should add, that there a quite a few good links on the web to some worthwhile psychometric revision, have a look around and you can probably get more useful advice/help for free
