This is not a CSET Business Test Review Guide
356397
Do not waste your money on purchasing this guide if you are thinking about taking the Business CSET exam. The title is misleading and I was very disappointed in the content when I reviewed the table of contents. The guide gives the reader information on "How to take a test" NOT information concerning the Business CSET exam.
I am now attempting to return the guide as it is of no use to any person taking the Business CSET exam.

This is not an approved book by the LSAC, so it has attempts at LSAT questions, but no questions from an actual test. This leads to some incorrect question answers. This book should be used only as an overview to what the LSAT may contain, and not as a good practice test.

As an ISEE and SSAT tutor of many years' experience, I know how hard it is to find adequate prep materials for these tests. The test makers provide only one (ISEE) or two (SSAT) official practice tests and do not publish any of their exams or allow non-students to take the tests. Both tests were revamped in the past 6 years, but test prep books by all the major publishers have not changed enough to be truly useful study tools.

Peterson's is a case in point. The text is good for very basic skills in mathematics, with lots of review and drills in computations and easy word problems. Unfortunately, mastering this material is totally insufficient for success on the Upper Level ISEE or SSAT where the Math Achievement sections are above grade level and Quantatitive Reasoning is sophisticated.

In Verbal, this book is simply terrible. The Sentence Completions are way off base, with weird vocabulary and odd combos, no transition words. In short, they are nothing like the real ISEE.

I would recommend students who use this book do so at least a year or two before they intend to REALLY study for their exam. That way, they can master basics and get somewhat familiar with the test formats and then use a combination of other materials when they are ready to get serious and raise their level. The Reading Comprehension here is of a very low level and the questions are not challenging enough for even a lower age level exam. Real ISEE and SSAT passages and questions are obtuse and subtle but Peterson's are plodding and obvious. It's a shame that there have been virtually no changes from the 8th edition to the 9th edition of this book. (This is quite typical of all the test prep books, although The Princeton Review and Kaplan have made some small improvements in their editions for 2016.)

Unfortunately, I don't have a simple recommendation for preparing for these tests beyond the official practice materials. The Princeton Review is strong in Verbal for both ISEE and SSAT, Kaplan is better than Peterson's for math review and Barron's is the best for math foundation for UL. Official Common Core review materials for NY State and others are limited, but more similar to the tricky math and ELA you see on these tests. For advanced students, I recommend using Common Core materials of the year above the student's current grade level and seeking out advanced practice in all question areas that students falter on in the official practice tests.

This book is meant for the EMT-I(85/99) level, not AEMT. The scope of practice in the material of this book exceeds what the AEMT is allowed to do. It therefore has lots of extraneous information that would not appear on the current (2017) NREMT AEMT psychomotor or cognitive exams.

I bought this specifically to help me with the math which it did not do. The practice exam for math was almost completely different than the actual WEST-B, the practice test was much easier and never even touched on most of the math problems that were in the actual test. The Reading test was easy and so was the practice test so I guess that was fairly accurate and I don't know about the writing practice test because I didn't take it. There should be more than one practice test, not the same one on two different formats (paper and digital). This was not a good study guide, I would not recommend it.

There are a number of professional books out there on improving business processes and while page does not ascribe to any methodology like lean or six sigma, there are some very good and practical "how-to's" in this book.  But, this is not the book if you want to learn business process modeling notation (BPMN). While she speaks on drawing process maps, there is absolutely nothing about gateways, swimlanes, events or activities or pools which is common lingo in the BPMN world nor anything in the Enterprise Architecture world which is technically beyond her perspective. Can you benefit from this book? Yep, this isn't the right place if you are looking for references on BPMN.

I thought this book would be funny; it isn't.  It is actually sad that students think it is acceptable to answer test questions this way.  It makes a mockery of our education system.  Totally not what I was looking for or expecting.

I only came to amazon to review this book after I had been studying with it for two subtests.  I finally had to admit that it has enough errors to be a serious hindrance on an exam.  There ARE typos galore, omissions of instructions as well as short answer responses, and duplication of sample questions!  If the goal is to pass the CSET, one question might make a difference.  I'm going to buy another study guide tomorrow in hopes that it won't be full of these inaccuracies.

That said, the first two parts, "Your Review Plan" and "CSET Overview and Test-Taking Strategies" were worth the money that I paid for the book.  A friend had a book from another company that didn't contain some of these sections and I think it is helpful to have them.

This is not the McGraw Hill Connect Access Code. Do not buy this if that is what is needed.

The book talks of a test to be found on the website and this is not so.  For a few chapters you cannot get the whole picture without the benefit of the website.

I read in another review that this book has the wrong title. I fully agree. This book is not about C programming, but about how to program a 8051 microcontroller. If that's what you want, this is a good book for you. But you will not learn about embeddeded C programming.

Unfortunately, the contents of this test prep book are unrelated to the actual exam - it is a collection of multiple choice questions, without any explanations of answers or subject review material.

This book does a very poor job at actually preparing you for the subject specific CSETs. Their information in this book is so broad and generic and doesn't even begin to delve deeper into what the tests will actually cover. Please don't waste your money on this.  Ask your neighbor,  family member etc to lend you their school textbook for a better reading of the material at hand.

Sections of these books are very good, and Narbik has an excellent reputation as an instructor -- but this a disappointment as an "Official Cert Guide."

When I took the CCIE v5.0 exam after using this book in my preparation, it felt as if I had studied for a very different test. Be aware that there are topics in the exam blueprint that are not covered in this book (or not covered in sufficient depth) and that there are topics covered in the book that are irrelevant to the test.

You are better off starting with the exam blueprint and Googling each topic, or going through the CCIEorDie website.  If you need a book to build your base knowledge of IP routing, try Doyle's book.

I read the book and studied everything related to the test and failed twice. I had second shot and both times. I took the test and I thought I was going to pass. The "Updated questions" or "updated Trick Questions" are not related to this reading. It's a good book to read, but you should not use this book if you want to get certified. Microsoft has been unfair on their tests and I will no longer waste time on Microsoft tests. I'm going to learn other open source programs instead.

Make sure you realize this is NOT the book, but the group study guide.  The cover does not explain that so I now have a book I don't use.
