Summary: Great Review
Review: Hey! This is a great review/study book for the CHSPE test. I passed and SO CAN YOU if you purchase this book!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terrible preparation book
Review: I found this test prep book to be totally useless. WHile the reviews are ok, the questions are poorly construced, and the book often gives the wrong answer. I am appalled by the amount of incorrect answers I found and the clear lack of competant editors. This book continually contradicts itself and is inconsistent between its list of correct answers and explanation of answers. I have been using this book as a tool to tutor a student for this examination, and I just recieved a call from him after his exam. He said that the material covered in the book is not the material on the exam. In the future, I will recomend against this book and all other barron's book for test preparation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST for all Examinees
Review: This book really gives you a main idea on what the CHSPE is all about. The introduction gives you hints on where, what and how the test is; and what it expects of you.

The English sections explains everything in detail which doesn't gives you much choice than to understand it in a split-second.

The Essay section is totally amazing! It explains what the Examiners are looking for, and how you have to write the Essay. I usually don't really enjoy writing boring two-pages Essays, but this book actually gives you a taste of interest.

Mathematics Sections includes everything from A-Z, and writes it in great many details. I really hated this section, and started it first to get it over with. However, it shows you the twists and turns and tricks your mind (Teaches you Algebra without letting you know it really was the difficult, old boring subject).

It also has two pre-CHSPE tests where you can practice before taking the real exam! Although it is only about 320-pages, the book explains it to you as if it were human.

I really think this book is worth buying, and I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to pass the CHSPE! It covers ALL of the CHSPE subjects. Good luck to all of those who want to take the test!

Best Wishes,
