Too many mistakes.  Not worth the price paid.

Too many mistakes. Not worth the price paid.
Too many mistakes in the book. Something as important as this should not have errors. If a student doesn't have someone to turn to for help they can end up more confused after using this book. Guess they need a 7th edition to fix the mistakes.
Thank you for your feedback

I had to take this test last year. I found this book extremely helpful, I felt very well prepared for the test and didn't have a hard time taking it. Where I took the test you do not get a numerical grade which was rather frustrating but I got into all the schools I applied to so i'm assuming I probably did well. Great study tool if your taking any of the three tests for applications.

I bought this book to review for an upcoming HS entrance exam. Since it covers several types of exams, there are chapters that aren't applicable to my situation. So even though the book is quite thick and intimidating looking, it really is manageable once you get started. Lots of practice tests too. I bought another book that is focused on theories and strategy, so I needed a book with practice tests to monitor my progress.

Book is great. Well organized, lots of practice tests, examples and solution sets that are fully detailed. I see some comments here about here being errors in the book. Mos are minor, however, his year.. I had 4 students out of 50 whose book was missing HSPT practice test 2. This was maddening, since we were using it in a full, timed, practice exam.

This is an excellent resource for this entrance exam. Like all standardized tests ACT/SAT have an overall and understanding of how the test works, types of questions and a little practice the student will feel more comfortable and score higher on exam day. Like any test prep unless they do the sample tests and learn why the get wrong answers the prep will not help.

The basics of communication and mathematics are needed for an overall foundation for academic success. Prospective employers use applications to see if one can spell, punctuate, and be able to think quantitatively. Uneducated people are plentiful, but the educated are somewhat rare. I like the Catholic High School Entrance Exams because it seems to bring out old fashioned values in education.

I chose this book because my daughter was applying at a Catholic High School. We worked with it during Christmas vacation and when she took the test it was not stressful and she was accepted with high grades at the school of her choice. It was an excellent review tool.

Found this to be perfectly fine for rudimentary prep for the exam. It gave my son a baseline to know where to focus his studying, detailed information and testing on each piece, and two prep tests. If you go through the process you should have a sense of how prepared your child will be for the exam. Good luck!

Bought this book for my son to study for the TACHS test. He was ablet to use it to get familiar with the types of questions on the exam. What I like the best is that he can check the answers himself and there are detailed explanations on how to get the correct answers.

This is a very good book for preparation for entrance examination. The structure is very good. Some of the questions are a bit difficult for that level in my opinion but I think it may be better on the long term for the student. The book is also good for tutors.
