Books for Prep | |
 - HelpfulI just took this test 6/21/08 and I have yet to receive my results. I was a bit worried because older versions of barrons chspe books had bad reviews but I decided to purchase this guide anyway. Besides the book not noting that there is calculators allowed for the test now, I think it is very helpful and built my confidence before taking the actual exam. It had a bunch of practice questions, a self assesment exam [to see what area I needed work on] and 2 model tests (which in my opinion, after taking this test, are very much like the actual exam.) It has tips on how to write an essay in 30 min. and provides details on what they are lookin for in your essay. When I purchased this book I only had a month left until I had to take the exam, so it was perfect because you can cover this book in that amount of time. I'm pretty confident that I will receive my results and will have passed. :] So, yes I would probably recommend this book to people looking for a detailed guide on what to expect on the chspe. Rating: - HELPFULMY DAUGHTER FOUND THIS VERY HELPFUL. WE HAVE YET TO SEE THE RESULTS OF THE TEST (TEST TAKEN 6/21/08 RESULTS POSTED 7/23/08), BUT SHE SAID THE TEST WASN'T AS LONG AS THE TESTS IN THE BOOK AND SHE WAS ABLE TO USE WHAT SHE STUDIED IN THE BOOK TO COMPLETE THE ACTUAL TEST. I GUESS THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS, IT WAS USEFUL, JUST WHAT WE WANTED. SHE THINKS SHE PASSED SO WE NOW JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. Rating: - This is great!My daughter is using this book to prepare for her CHSPE. It is well laid out and easy to follow. It presents itself in steps and makes going through the book a simple process of thirty days. If she passes it will have been worth much more than we paid for it! page 1 of 1
