Spend your money wisely,
By magzarilla (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arco New York City Specialized Science High Schools Admissions Test (Serial) (Paperback)
I was accepted to Stuyvesant High school. To prepare for the exam, I used almost all the books available on the market, including Arco.Do not plan to rely on Arco books as a primary source of test preparation. The questions are not challenging enough. The reading passages do not share the same depth of analysis like those found on the exam. The math questions are much too simple and require almost no thinking skills whatsoever. The logic questions do not encourage the reader to reason through a situation. As a result, the user of Arco books is mislead about the exam's degree of difficulty.
