Rating: Summary: This did the trick Review: I got a 55 on the exam. However, I received the book 3 days before the test. I crammed and got through it. However, there were lots of questions on the test not covered in the book. The book itself was just a bunch of tests, not tangible study material. In summary, it was a good investment.
Rating: Summary: Great preparation for the Environment & Humanity Exam! Review: I used this book along with a library book on environmental science to score a 58 on the exam (enough to give me credit with an A!). In many cases, the example questions were much harder than the actual exam qestions. I spent quite a bit of time reviewing the practice questions in this book, and the glossary of environmental terms came in very handy when I would come across a question that I wasn't familiar with. This book can not be your only study resource if you know very little about the topic. However, when used in conjuction with a well-written book on environmental science and current issues, it helps you to find your weakest areas and improve upon them. It also helped me to get a feel for the layout of the exam and gave good basic information about all the DANTES exams offered, including contact information for the Chauncey Group, the organization that oversees the program.This book does what is is meant to do: give you a glimpse at the exam before you take it, make your weakest areas clear to you and tell you how to find out more. It is NOT like one of the CLEP guides, which includes a small "textbook" as the first half for those who know little or nothing about the subject. These books by Jack Rudman are the best of the limited resources available to those who wish to take DANTES exams.
