We bought this book after buying Barron's How to Prepare for the Coop/HSPT/TACHS to get a few more practice exams for my son, who just took the HSPT this past weekend. Though we preferred Barron's review sections, it was helpful to re-enforce the concepts with the Kaplan chapters.What was most frustrating about the Kaplan book was that there simply were too many mistakes in the sample test answers. We took a final sample practice a couple of days before the HSPT. Because we had used up all the sample HSPT exams, we used portions of a sample TACHS exam instead. For the Language Arts section, the answers led us to believe that my son missed 8 out of 40 questions. When we reviewed the answers, it became apparent that only 3 questions were actually wrong. This caused much unnecessary stress.According to my son, the actual test had much harder verbal skills questions and easier language arts questions. Of course, we do not know how well he did yet, so this information may not be reliable.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Amazing!!! Bought this book 3 weeks prior to my exam for a a Catholic boys' high school. After doing a couple of the exercises and practice tests. I was able to not only get into my high school but earned a full ride and made it into all honors classes. Absolutely fabulous cannot recommend enough!
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.
We got this KAPLAN's book for extra practice tests. The test questions were numbered incorrectly in the e-book and had an irregular amount of questions than what it said it had. Also the answers were not listed as a/b/c/d in one of the test versions. The answers were also inaccurate. This lead to frustration and confusion. I would not recommend using this book.We used the Barron's HSPT practice book before and was very happy with it.
