Great Test Prep material -- new edition is so odd,
By B. Solomon "Stealth Tutor" (Sierra Madre, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barron's COOP/HSPT/TACHS (Paperback)
I work as an academic tutor, and one of the subjects I teach a lot is HSPT/ISEE test prep. We use this series for both tests. Great book, really top-notch. It has a chapter reviewing math, starting with integers and going through Algebra and Geometry. The child may have learned all the math fundamentals in school, but some of them are not current. This is a great review of fractions, decimals, percentages, Pythagorean Theorem, math vocabulary, forgotten equations.
The Reading Comp and Vocabulary chapters are equally solid. The material in all sections is presented in a straight-forward manner; answers and explanations are also included. There are two practice tests in back, along with practice material for the two other tests covered by the book (if you REALLY want to practice taking tests). I have used other TP material, but I keep coming back to Barron's. It is the best. OK -- 8/2010 -- There is a new edition just out. I used it today with a student, just the Verbal section so far. It was so very odd -- has been changed radically, so as to be obfuscating and not clear, with examples that were irrelevant to the task. I will look further, but check new edition carefully before you buy.
