As others have noted, the CHSPE has been updated and changed! This book does not begin to prepare you for the math on the test. The study book for the California High School Exit Exam is a much better choice now.

After buying this book, I found out that the CHSPE has been changed and updated so a lot of the information in the book is useless. The book doesn't even cover some of the subjects on the new test. Wish I knew that before I wasted my money on this study guide.

don't buy this book it doesn't prepare you for the " new " CHSPE. I studied for weeks and had the stuff in this book memorized but it didn't help. This book is useless because the CHSPE changed. Find a book that helps you prepare for the new one. I wish I had read these reviews before studying and taking the damned test.

AUGH.

I did not find this study guide helpful in any way. I studied the entire book, went to take my test confidently, and saw that my weeks of studing were wasted because there was nothing in the book that was on the test. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK

I took the test today and have been reviewing using the book. The Math part didn't really tell much about what was going to be on the test.

I bought this book to use as a study guide, and it is horrible! First of all, I found a number of mistakes in the book. For some of the practice exams throughout the book I found conflicting answers in the answer keys. Also, I felt it really did not prepare me at all for the math section on the test! This is the only book I used to study, so I don't know what other book to use, but I can say don't use this book!!!

I found this test prep book to be totally useless. WHile the reviews are ok, the questions are poorly construced, and the book often gives the wrong answer. I am appalled by the amount of incorrect answers I found and the clear lack of competant editors. This book continually contradicts itself and is inconsistent between its list of correct answers and explanation of answers. I have been using this book as a tool to tutor a student for this examination, and I just recieved a call from him after his exam. He said that the material covered in the book is not the material on the exam. In the future, I will recomend against this book and all other barron's book for test preparation.

I bought this book and used it for weeks to help my son study for the exam. This was a waste of time as the book is obsolete. The test has changed and the book did not prepare my son for the test. I want my money back.

We purchased this as an overall review of where our home-schooled children were academically. The information was invaluable! It helped us, as parents, regulate the remainder of the school year to better prepare our high-school aged son & daughter. We're not sure of it's value where the test is concerned, as we have always been more focused on overall knowledge than test-taking, but for our purposes and for the cost (we only paid $10) it was a bargain! We highly recommend this for other home-school families, as well as anyone interested in finding out just how much they already know! Now that......is PRICELESS!!!

I studied this book and memorized the content and it had little to do with the test.

Go to [...] and get the official study guide- it neets the criteria people can pass easily.
