We bought this book after buying Barron’s How to Prepare for the Coop/HSPT/TACHS to get a few more practice exams for my son, who just took the HSPT this past weekend. Though we preferred Barron’s review sections, it was helpful to re-enforce the concepts with the Kaplan chapters.

What was most frustrating about the Kaplan book was that there simply were too many mistakes in the sample test answers. We took a final sample practice a couple of days before the HSPT. Because we had used up all the sample HSPT exams, we used portions of a sample TACHS exam instead. For the Language Arts section, the answers led us to believe that my son missed 8 out of 40 questions. When we reviewed the answers, it became apparent that only 3 questions were actually wrong. This caused much unnecessary stress.

According to my son, the actual test had much harder verbal skills questions and easier language arts questions. Of course, we do not know how well he did yet, so this information may not be reliable.

I bought this book to review for an upcoming HS entrance exam. Since it covers several types of exams, there are chapters that aren’t applicable to my situation. So even though the book is quite thick and intimidating looking, it really is manageable once you get started. Lots of practice tests too. I bought another book that is focused on theories and strategy, so I needed a book with practice tests to monitor my progress.

Amazing!!! Bought this book 3 weeks prior to my exam for a a Catholic boys’ high school. After doing a couple of the exercises and practice tests. I was able to not only get into my high school but earned a full ride and made it into all honors classes. Absolutely fabulous cannot recommend enough!
