Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Complete waste of time
Wasted my valuable time using this and the Kaplan guide (which I have given an equally bad review...) The practice tests are NOTHING like the real thing. The actual multiple choice questions were far more difficult than anything the guide prepared me for. As I anxiously await my results, for subtest I and III, I plan on taking a prep class for subtest II. My advice is don't waste precious time and money on this....BIG thumbs done.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Cheap Outline...Not A Good Source
The theory of organization in this book was good, but in practice it was a disaster. The book includes subtests to show you your trouble areas, which I thought was helpful. however, the actual review sections are poorly put together and leave out a lot of crucial information. It doesn't explain, but rather just gives vague statements and drawings. On one of the sample questions it talks about what a paper will look like after being folded and cut in a certain way. As an explanation for this answer, ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I PASSED the CSET using this book!
I just passed the CSET using this book as my study guide. I gave it only 4 stars because I found the way that some of the information was presented (history and science) was very dry and hard to remember. I used the Everything You Need to Know About ______ Homework series by Zeman and Kelly as additional resources. They came in handy for the material I found a bit harder to study for (history and science). It does provide 2 practice tests which are beneficial to take to get an idea of how the test is ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Only book you need...
for the CSET. This is all I looked at to prepare for the CSET and I have been out of school for 8 years. Scored 4/4 on all sections except math. Use it.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Very Weak Study Guide
I have been advised by those who help others prepare for the CSET that this is not a good study guide. So much information and so overwhelming and not all the answers are accurate.

I studied the books What your 6-8th grader needs to know.....I did that for math, geography, ca history etc etc and passed the CSET on the first try. I am not young..almost 50.
