"A waste of time and money" according to El Diablito. Well, I have now completed the Social Science tests this weekend and with this text and the all important test fresh in my memory, I must say that Cliffs Test Prep was a good way to distract me from what I needed to know. Much of the information in this book was a simple list of terms and names with little reference as to why they are important or why they are relevant to the test. Likewise, I found that many of the test questions came in a different format than fo. "worst test prep book I've ever read" according to A. Crane. This book is a complete embarrassment. I teach test prep and am therefore very familiar with many, many (high school) test prep books.
