This is the best book I have ever come across for homeschooling teenagers. It totally prepares you for the text of the CHSPE test! It speaks to you like you are human. That's the best part! The text is totally comprehensive, self-paced, and makes you feel smarter than you thought you were! A Must Have for Anyone who wants to test, and get out early, or late. Makes you feel at ease. Takes the worst of tests and makes it better and easy!

Divided into four sections: pre-test. english basics, math basics, study test. Could have been less overwhelming. Thows a lot of useless english terms at you, but oh well. A must if you are concidering taking your CHSPE.

This book really gives you a main idea on what the CHSPE is all about. The introduction gives you hints on where, what and how the test is; and what it expects of you.

The English sections explains everything in detail which doesn't gives you much choice than to understand it in a split-second.

The Essay section is totally amazing! It explains what the Examiners are looking for, and how you have to write the Essay. I usually don't really enjoy writing boring two-pages Essays, but this book actually gives you a taste of interest.

Mathematics Sections includes everything from A-Z, and writes it in great many details. I really hated this section, and started it first to get it over with. However, it shows you the twists and turns and tricks your mind (Teaches you Algebra without letting you know it really was the difficult, old boring subject).

It also has two pre-CHSPE tests where you can practice before taking the real exam! Although it is only about 320-pages, the book explains it to you as if it were human.

I really think this book is worth buying, and I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to pass the CHSPE! It covers ALL of the CHSPE subjects. Good luck to all of those who want to take the test!

This book is good to find out how ready you are for the test and teach you what you need to know. One thing i did not like about this book is that it has a lot of errors with the answers on the test that it gives. It was very frusterating and I thought it could of been better. Thats why i gave it a low rating.

Hey! This is a great review/study book for the CHSPE test. I passed and SO CAN YOU if you purchase this book!
