5.0 out of 5 stars
Best way to prepare...,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Prepare for the Cbest, California Basic Educational Skills Test (Barron's How to Prepare for the Cbest California Basic Educational Skills Test) (Paperback)
Some people complain that this book has practice tests that are HARDER than the actual CBEST. It is true... but to me that is a good thing. I'd much rather find the practice tests harder, than to find the actual test more difficult. By completing these practice tests, the ACTUAL CBEST WAS A BREEZE! I've heard that only about 1/2 of the people who take the CBEST pass on the first attempt. I don't know if it's true, but I know that I passed easily and this book was my only preparation.

Total waste of time...,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Prepare for the Cbest, California Basic Educational Skills Test (Barron's How to Prepare for the Cbest California Basic Educational Skills Test) (Paperback)
Having taken the CBEST two days ago, I can assure you this book is a terrible waste of time and money. It covers WAY too much material, only a small portion of which is actually relevant to the test. The inside title page of the book says it all -- portions of the book are taken from Barron's other test prep books for the SAT, LSAT, GRE, California State Universtity Writing Proficiency Exam, and California High School Proficiency Exam! You will be infinitely better off using CliffsTestPrep CBEST by Jerry Bobrow published by IDG -- concise, focused, and accurate.

Barron's CBEST -- Good Choice,
By Andrew Smith (USA, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Prepare for the Cbest, California Basic Educational Skills Test (Barron's How to Prepare for the Cbest California Basic Educational Skills Test) (Paperback)
I took the CBEST and passed on the first try. I used Barron's CBEST and also Cliffs review. If anyone has weaknesses in Math word problems I highly recommend the Barron's guide which gives a great review of these types of problems. That is what I mainly used it for.
