Editorial Review: Product Description: /*0205458092, Boosalis, Beating the CSET!, 1e*/Beating the CSET! will help both pre-service and practicing teachers in California pass the CSET Multiple Subjects Subtests I - III. Because passing the CSET Multiple Subjects test is now required for an elementary credential in California, this new text has been designed to address the essential time-management methods, essay and multiple-choice strategies, and content that test takers must master in order to passSubtests One through Three of the exam. Unlike other preparation books, this text does not simply offer a copy of MSAT materials. Instead, the content, constructed-response and multiple-choice strategies, and special time-management models for the tests are all research based and tailored to CSET Multiple Subject content in great detail.

 Rating:  - Don't Study From This Book!I used this book to study for the Math/Science CSET. During my studies, I noticed a lot of errors within the book in the math and science section. For example: The book states that melting is when a liquid becomes a solid! Now I know what they meant, but that should have been caught when this book was edited! Also, in the math section: LOTS OF ERRORS! I used to be a math major and I know what I'm talking about! If you use this book to study, pay attention to numbers being brought ...

I have found many grammatical errors, but more troubling are the mathematical errors I have found. Since when does: 4 + (-3) + (-6) = 5. (should be -5) OR 5 x 1/5 + 0 = 0. (should be 1) These are just 2 of the 6 problems I have found *so far* which is especially unsettling when it is a book whose sole purpose is to prepare teachers for a major test! The problems get worse when dealing with dividing polynomials, and they make a blatant error ... Read More Rating:  - Helped three of us passThis book is great! It helped me pass all three sub tests on the first try. Then I loaned the book to two of my other friends and they passed on the first try as well. It gives strategies for how to take the test as well as content that you need to know. I found it to be comprehensive and really helpful. I would recommend it and in fact did for my two of my good friends. Rating: - Poor test prep resourceThis book almost seems dishonest in its presentation. Rather than helping you prep information for the test, it routinely gives you stratgies to "beat" the test. While all of us want to pass the CSET, to have done it in a fashion by jumping questions, ignoring rules, etc. is not a way to do this. Rating: - Use at your own riskDid Henry Ford actually invent the automobile? Were there actually only 4,000 slaves in the South? Like other reviewers, I've gleaned a lot of very useful information from this test guide, but there are so many errors -- dozens and dozens of them -- that I find myself repeatedly having to seek out other reference sources to verify the facts I am suspicious of. Use this test guide at your own risk.
