Nothing prepares you more than keeping up regularly.

This review is from: Cracking the New York City Specialized Science High School Admission Test (Paperback)

Arak, the author and a longtime Princeton Review instructor, writes engagingly, and explains to students exactly what they need to know to improve their scores on this competitive test. As a classroom teacher as well as a graduate of another selective public school (Hunter), Arak knows his material. eglickman@abacusguide.com
