1.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't buy again, February 17, 2001

This review is from: How to Prepare for the SAT 9 (4th grade, 2nd Ed.) (Paperback)

We have the 2nd grade book in this series (different author, same editor) and are very satisfied. This one is a different story.

Questions are so clumsily worded as to have no real correct answer, regional variations in meanings of words are ignored, and some questions are just plain wrong (one question, for instance, asks students to find the misspelled word; all possible answers are spelled correctly, including the one listed as the "correct" answer in the key.)

In addition, it is heavily oriented to California's testing requirements. It may be very interesting to know which native American tribe lived in which section of California, but as the history of everything other than California is mostly ignored, it isn't much help in preparing children in other states for their tests.

This is a good source for test preparation, second only to McGraw-Hill Spectrum Test Prep book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific, February 26, 2000

I have been using this book with my daughter and we love it. She and I were able to sit down together and work on it for over a half an hour. She does not like to do homework, and for her to work with me for that amount of time and remember what she was doing is great. The topics are straightforward and helpfull for me as a parent. I am looking forward to starting the fifth grade book with her.
