Summary: I GOT INTO STUYVESANT!!!!
Review: I bought this book preparing for another exam. When it was time to prepare for the Specialized High school exam I picked up this book again. My friends thought I had no chance. They were paying $1,000 for courses. While I was just using this book. And now Im in Stuyvesant and they're not. It's all thanks to this book!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I MADE IT INTO STUYVESANT JUST BY USING THIS BOOK!
Review: I made it into Stuyvesant High School. I didn't use any other book (I couldn't find any). This book really helped me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I MADE IT INTO STUYVESANT JUST BY USING THIS BOOK!
Review: I was accepted to Stuyvesant High school. To prepare for the exam, I used almost all the books available on the market, including Arco.

Do not plan to rely on Arco books as a primary source of test preparation. The questions are not challenging enough. The reading passages do not share the same depth of analysis like those found on the exam. The math questions are much too simple and require almost no thinking skills whatsoever. The logic questions do not encourage the reader to reason through a situation. As a result, the user of Arco books is mislead about the exam's degree of difficulty.

Rating: 3 stars

Review: This book does not include practice tests for the Hunter College High School exam (as Amazon's description indicates).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tried and True
Review: This is a great book to use for study purposes on entering any specialized high schools, such as brooklyn tech, bronx science, and so on... It gives you tests on questions you will recieve. then all the answers, + explanations and diff. techniques to coming about the answer... A must have for any 8th or 9th grader with hopes of going to a specialized high school. -Beerinder
