Book Description

If It's on the CBEST, It's in This Book
We don't try to teach you everything there is to know about mathematics, reading, and writing –only the techniques you'll need to score higher on the CBEST. There's a big difference. In Cracking the CBEST, we'll teach you how to think like the test writers and

·Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you
·Prepare for the new challenges of the revised CBEST
·Raise your score by mastering the critical analysis and evaluation area of the reading section
·Ace the math section by knowing what to expect

This book includes 2 full-length practice CBEST exams. All of our practice questions are just like the ones you’ll see on the actual CBEST, and we fully explain every solution.

5 out of 5 stars Great guide .......2007-09-06

This has really helped me prepare for the CBEST. The excersises are applicable and they do a great job of reviewing topics I hadn't studied since elementary school. However, I won't know the final results though until I take the test!!

5 out of 5 stars I Cracked the CBEST!.......2007-07-10

Using only this excellent resource, I passed the CBEST on the first try after a few weeks of preparation. This book is organized and written very well, and provides a solid foundation for all three subtests. I particularly needed help with math, and Cracking the CBEST helped me score very well on the math subtest. The author also provides great test-taking strategies. I found the practice tests especially helpful. This was the only resource I used, and it did the trick!

5 out of 5 stars Before buying CBEST books, read this..........2007-06-17

I took the CBEST yesterday morning (06/16/07)and have several observations and suggestions which not only do I hope you'll find helpful but with any luck can save you some time and grief. I purchased four review books. The Princeton Review's Cracking the CBEST (2002)," Cliff's Testprep "CBEST, 6th Edition,(2000)" Learning Express' "The Complete Preparation Guide CBEST (2006)," and Barron's "How to Prepare for the CBEST (2001)." Additionally, I purchased one on-line guide and began receiving emails with "tips of the day" from another. Neither on-line guide was helpful in the least and I would caution you to stay away from them no matter how luring their websites are.

Now onto the test (and then I'll come back to the guidebooks). The test, as I'm sure you're aware is divided into three sections: Reading, math and a writing portion in which you're asked to write two essays.

Let's start with the math. If you go to the official CBEST website they will tell you specifically what you need to know in order to pass this part of the exam. There is no geometry (apparently there was a law suit several years ago and the math portion was made easier) and the algebra on the test is beginner stuff. About the most difficult algebra question went something like this: 10y - 36 + 4y - 6 + y = 3. What's the value of y? Most of the questions are basic math and if I can do them, so can you!

With the exception of The Princeton Review's "Cracking the CBEST," all the guidebooks, when it came to math, were significantly more difficult than you need to know. The biggest offender of this was Learning Express' "The Complete Preparation Guide CBEST" which included very high level math and was poorly written and filled with mistakes. The book also comes with a CD of practice tests but the tests on the CD are nothing more than the same questions from the text in a different order. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK -- YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. In fact we should all stay away from Learning Express' books; after all, as consumers all we can do to send a message to those who try and rip us off is to boycott their products. Enough said...

Barron's "How to Prepare for the CBEST" math sections was also more difficult than it needed to be. Additionally they do something that never seems to appear on the actual test. Very often their "choice E" will be "none of the above." I still haven't run into none of the above on any actual CBEST test. I also had an older version of this text and when I compared the two I found almost no difference which I felt odd since between the two publications the test has changed.

Cliff's TestPrep's "CBEST (6th Edition) should be the best of the bunch based on the entire line of Cliff's books but while this one is pretty good it's not great. Again, they're not up to date on what's really necessary to learn with regard to the math section, also taking the reader deeper into math than the test taker will ever need to pass the CBEST. But as one of your guides, I do recommend this one but do your own editing with too complex math problems.

The best of the bunch (for math) was The Princeton Review's "Cracking the CBEST." In fact on page 7 the authors explain how the CBEST has changed recently. For math, this book is excellent. Enough said.

A suggestion to make this experience a bit easier is first go to the CBEST site, read about the specifications but DON'T TAKE THE PRACTICE TEST YET. Use this guide (Princeton's) first and take their practice tests. When you feel you're ready take the official CBEST Practice Test (which you'll find is very close to the actual test), see how you do and what you still need to review. Sadly, CBEST only offers one practice test.

READING: First of all, the CBEST passages are reading comprehension and they're short. Think about it, you only have four hours to answer 50 math questions, 50 reading questions and write two essays. There's simply not enough time for long reading passages. The CBEST Reading practice test is a realistic example of the length of the passages.

Barron's "How to Prepare for the CBEST" was pretty good (not great) with their reading section prep. Cliff's TestPrep was also good and I thought some of their suggestions and study strategies were very good. Princeton Review's "Cracking the CBEST" reading section was very good and they have a section called "How to Crack It" which was very helpful in their breaking down of the different types of reading questions.

Learning Express' "The Complete Preparation Guide CBEST" was sloppy. One of the questions asked about something that wasn't mentioned and there were several mistakes.

For the Writing portion I recommend both Cliff's TestPrep and The Princeton Review's "Cracking the CBEST." They both give some good tips and sample essays. Princeton has a template you can follow for your essay which was helpful. The one frustrating aspect of their writing section was they only had the opening paragraph of their sample essay when it would have been helpful to have the entire sample essay to review.

One suggestion is to practice writing essays in short periods of time. By the way most of the sample questions I've run into in these guides are pretty close to what's actually asked on the exam. Yesterday's questions were something like, "if you could change one thing about schools what would it be?" and people can find happiness in the little things -- do you agree (something like that).

I guess this has been a long winded way of saying there are two guidebooks that are worth buying: The Princeton Review's "Cracking the CBEST," and CliffsTestPrep (although it's out of date for math.)

Good Luck.

5 out of 5 stars This is the one.......2007-02-18

This is the one to buy if you want a no nonsense guide in down to earth terms.

4 out of 5 stars The test is more difficult.......2007-02-04

Be prepared for a test that is more difficult than Cracking the CBEST suggests. For example, the book has sample problems on interpreting a table of contents. The samples are VERY easy; however, the test presented much more difficult questions of this type. Also, Cracking the CBEST presents easier essay prompts and misleadingly shows how to write a 4 point passing essay on down to a 1 point failing essay. The problem in Cracking the CBEST is that the 4 point (passing essay) examples are not that well-written and the the 3 point (marginal pass essay) examples are A LOT less well-written. Trust me as an English major, they grade the essays on a much more challenging scale than this book leads you to believe!

P.S. Afterward lots of people expressed being stumped on a question that required knowing how many yards are in a mile. It doesn't hurt to know this as you study a conversion chart.

    1 out of 5 stars Unexpected.......2007-03-26

    This book was not what I expected. It didn't help me at all to get ready for the compass test for college. I was very disappointed.

    1 out of 5 stars Too cluttered and difficult for adult student.......2006-03-02

    I found this book to be too "cluttered" in the grammar section. It would line review sentences in paragraphs rather than individually like other study guides would. I found the format crammed and it made it hard to memorize that way. I don't recommend this study guide at all and there are not many options elsewhere unfortunately.

    5 out of 5 stars Very helpful!.......2001-11-16

    I found this book to be very informative. It helped me prepare for my placement tests. Everything was explained clearly.

    Book Description

    This test preparation book includes two full-length exams with detailed explanations modeled after the actual TASP test. Taken by full- and part-time students entering Texas public colleges, universities, or technical institutes, the TASP was designed to ensure that students obtain the skills appropriate to their grade level. Failure to pass any TASP section will result in the assignment of remedial course work in that subject. However, studying the comprehensive reviews in this book will fully prepare the student to pass each section. Reviews in mathematics, reading skills, and writing skills are presented along with tips and sample problems to help develop reading and writing skills, as well as problem solving ability.

    5 out of 5 stars This book will help you pass the TASP!.......2003-03-27

    I purchased this book in order to review the math section for the Tasp test. I was taking the Tasp in order to enter the alternative certification course for school teachers. Since I did not have Geometry in the past and couldn't remember quadratic equations, I needed some real help. I spent around 16 to 20 hours reviewing the information provided in this text and passed the tasp on my first attempt. I scored a 93% (280 out of 300 possible) on the math section, well above what was required to pass and that was my lowest score. I recommend this book to anyone preparing for this exam.

    2 out of 5 stars 2 1/2 Stars really, Slighty better but not by much.......2002-10-16

    ...P>This book was slighty better then Barron's TASP guide. The math drills have answer keys to them ... and better explaintions for the math. But it's still very lacking in the math. I suggest getting a NON-TASP math study guide instead to help you.

    The Reading and Writing Section of almost all books I have used are about the same all are very exceptable and useful. EXECEPT for the "Offical TASP study guide" which is just MEGA ALL AROUND BAD! ...
    I myself am returning to school after 10 years. . ... If your college has it ask to take the ACCUPLACER TEST! It's easier and less costly. ... ...
    I give The Best Test Prepartion for the TASP study guide 2 1/2 stars, math section is slighty better but not by much.
    I give Barrons TASP book 2 stars due to it's poor math section.
    I give The Offical TASP Study guide 0 stars! ...P>Remember take the ACCUPLACER TEST instead if your school has it!! Good luck all on your test.

    4 out of 5 stars I passed the TASP.......2002-10-09

    This study guide was a tremendous help and I credit it with giving me the tools to help me pass the TASP. One note: on the tope of page 152, there is a misprint in the example for (2). It should be the square root of 80 minus the square root of twenty , not the square root of 90 minus the square root of twenty.
