5.0 out of 5 stars Usefull Sample Tests, May 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: CBEST: California Basic Educational Skills Test (Complete Preparation Guide) (Paperback)

Sample tests with explinations of answers were good. Especially usefull were the essay writing examples of what is a 4 point, 3 point, 2 point, 1 point answer to the topic questions. I passed the first time while my sister using Clift's guide did not. CD was not compatible with my Apple computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Help, August 8, 2000

Annette (los angeles, ca) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CBEST: California Basic Educational Skills Test (Complete Preparation Guide) (Paperback)

I did not have much time to study so I read through this book and did a reading and math practice test using the cd-rom. I did not practice essay writing at all but did review the essay section in the book. I would not suggest my approach to anyone but thankfully I passed with pretty good scores. The reading and essay sections are practically just as the book says. The math is too except the test gives you some formulas that the book tells you to memorize.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well done overall, April 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: CBEST: California Basic Educational Skills Test (Complete Preparation Guide) (Paperback)

I recently completed the CBEST exam, and found this book to be better organized, more concise, and more representative of the actual CBEST exam than "The Best Test Preparation for the CBEST" by REA. (Words of advice: if you're like me and have become all too accustomed to doing all of your writing on a keyboard, practice writing some essays with a pencil first.) Good luck!
