Excellent tool to assist in passing these type of tests

I had to take a verbal reasoning test for an interview for a job and when I did the trial test I only achieved 2/10 as I didn't fully understand the test.  I (wrongly) made assumptions while reading the text which is absolutely not the thing to do.  After reading this excellent book I was soon getting 8 or 9/10 so a fantastic turnaround.

Great tool that simplifies concepts, keeps you focused on the material important to learn for the exam without overloading with extra material. Great test taking tips as well which is very important for this style exam.

I have found the best way to drive concepts home for me, is to do lots of sample questions with explanations. The printed material in this set was invaluable.  This book is primarily sample questions, with a brief overview of each objective prior to the questions. The answer sections give detailed explanations of why each choice was right or wrong. As I went through this all, I took notes and filled in my weak areas.
The Cd was very weak, however. The questions were simplistic and nowhere near as difficult as the real test was. (I still passed!)
Overall, I was very pleased with this book as a study aid, but as a yardstick to determine your readiness for the test, don't rely on it.

I used this book extensively to prepare for both teachers' chemistry tests (California chemistry subtest 121 and 125).  It was my main strategy in preparing for the test and it worked very well.

This was the first time I picked up chemistry in many many years, and I was nowhere near ready to take the test(s). I use this to conduct my review and it gave me an excellent overview to all the subject matter that was required on the tests themselves.

In subject areas where I was weak or where I need a lot of practice, I supplemented with a regular high school chemistry textbook.  I got it out of the library, although I had to look around quite a bit before I found one.  The value of a regular textbook is that it has exercises, so I could spend time reviewing a particular topic by doing problems with solutions.  This sort of thing is unavailable in the study guide.

But the study guide does have an elaborate practice test.  It was very useful as test time approached. I found the practice test to be much more difficult than the real tests, which I took in April and May, 2008.  This meant that I was partially panicking as the first test approached! But it also meant that I was thoroughly prepared.  After about a month and a half of preparation, I found the actual tests to be relatively straightforward and not too difficult -- I did pretty well in both, passing comfortably.

Some quick specific comments:

I had to be very rigorous in using this guide.  I really studied it, reviewed it, highlighted, took notes, etc.  Certain sections I reread multiple times.  It's helpful to know the material that is reflected in the tests, but there's no shortcut to actually learning it.

As I mentioned, only textbooks give you lots of problems and questions to solve. I did not want to jump right into the study guide's practice test, because I wanted to do a simulated test about a week before the actual test date, and then use the remaining time to study up on weak areas.

I do find that "Castlewood Cindy" (another review in this Amazon.com section) has some valid critiques.  I did find some typos and some questions and answers that I was reasonably certain were in error.  Not a lot, but I agree with her that it is somewhat distracting.  Some of the charts and illustrations are rather amateurish.  Hopefully there will be a follow-up addition to this where they will refine it more.

Nonetheless, I am very thankful to have this guide -- it gave me the confidence to do very well in the tests and to qualify for a teaching position right afterwards.

I love that this is just two tests with answers and explanations behind each test in a separate section. It makes it easy to test yourself multiple times and find out why you missed the questions you missed. It's not overwhelming with too much information. It's simply two tests with answers and explanations...exactly what I was looking for.

This book was excellent as sort of a last week read quick and pick up the things that you forgot sort of thing.  This book by no means covers every detail that you will need to know.  I purchased this in a combo pack with the extra prep-logic questions which I found to be great.  I think the key to any of these Microsoft Tests is a little bit of studying and of course some hands on work with their products.  Passed with an 873.

I bought this along with Andy's book, "The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try, Fourth Edition."  This guide is a great study aid and reference tool.  Prior to taking the test, I used this as a handy reference for refreshing my memory on key inputs, outputs, and processes and also for mathematical formulas.  The guide is actually a laminated tri-fold guide, with a total of six pages (three sheets, front and back).  It's well-organized and extremely helpful.  Now that I've taken the test, I'll keep this handy for everyday reference.

I think this book provides a great study tool for information on SAP Fiori Implementation and Configuration. The questions are easy to understand and the instructions on how to answer, or how many correct answers there are, are clear. The progression of knowledge is set out for optimal studying for the person looking to take the certification test.

One thing in particular that I liked was the explanations provided with each question explaining what the correct answer, or answers, is/are. There is a narrative as to why the answers are correct and, often, a helpful diagram is provided for more detailed explanations. i think providing a diagram or graphic with the narrative really helps the person studying to be able to remember important details. It helps people that are more image orientated retain the information with more accuracy.

The second thing I liked is that the question will tell you how many correct answers there are to the question. While studying this is helpful, but it can have it's down side. The test might not tell you how many correct answers there are. Having the study guide do so could possibly be a crutch for some people.

One thing that I think this study guide could use is a brief introduction to what SAP Fiori Implementation and Configuration is. Even though the person studying to take the exam may have a general understanding, or maybe even an intimate understanding, it would be a welcome refresher to study the introduction and brief history of this certification along with the many technical aspects of the certification.

Overall, I think this is a wonderful study guide. It's simple to use and easy to understand. I think this is a great aid to have for anyone preparing to take the certification exam or wanting to brush up on their knowledge through a test-based environment.

The vocabulary words in this set have appeared on several of the practice tests I've taken. The math basics were helpful to review. Memorizing these cards filled in some missing pieces and made me feel much more prepared to take the test.

Well, looking back on it all now I am glad I purchased this. ( I passed with flying colors!) Unlike the other competitors, this structures the study plan and exam questions/environment on the computer in a manner that emulates the real deal and prepares the test-taker for the true experience. I would recommend buying several study guides (including this one), given that this stratifies your experience of practice test question difficulty levels. I do believe some of the questions in this study book were a bit too easy, but necessary because the real exam had a few easy ones tucked in there too. I recommend this book for sure, but do not rely solely on this one!

It's an easy to read study guide, that keeps you on track with tips and meaningful exercises.  I fully enjoyed the "Helpful hints" and thorough  explanation. This will be my 2nd time taking the test, I hope to pass this time around.

So far this book is a great study tool.
I think the authors do a good job of writing from a recent MCAT-taker point of view.  The hints of verbal irony and sardonic tone help the reader relate to the authors which makes the material more accessible and the tips more helpful.  This Kaplan book also provides encouragement, and the CD-ROM and online components give you more practice questions and a time-table to complete the material when desired.

I passed with high marks on the first try and this book was really helpful. The GRE was the hardest standardized test I ever took and has a very short time limit per section. The tips and tricks in this book are invaluable and the writing section was especially helpful. All around, the book and the online resources from the book through Barron's were what I needed to ensure I got the scores I needed for my program.

The review guide allows you to practice your test taking skills as well as providing a host of sample questions to cover all aspects of the RHIA and RHIT exams. It has given me insight into the area(s) that I need to focus more on. Having the answers and some explanations after each topic is very helpful. All of the questions provide a reference from which it was derived. The book also comes with a CD which also helps in preparation for the accreditation exams.

The HESI exam is one of several tests used to grant admission to nursing schools. You may also hear it called the HESI A2, the HESI Admission Assessment Exam, or the Evolve Reach A2.

The HESI A2 Practice Test Book is broken down into several sections.  The English language section covers reading comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar.  The mathematics portion reviews basic math skills.  The science section gets a little more detailed by including questions on biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology.  Finally there are Personality Profile questions that also check up on your learning style and critical thinking skills.

Using this book to prepare for the HESI test will give you an edge and real experience with what the actual exam will be like.  Going through the practice workbook is a tried and true, effective method for reviewing and retaining knowledge that will be covered on the real test.  I found the HESI A2 Practice Test Book to include complete coverage of the questions you should expect.  Especially appreciated was the detailed answer key at the end, with not only the correct answers, but also a thorough explanation of why each would be the correct answer.

I think this would be an advantageous tool for any student preparing for the HESI exam, and as well as a valuable resource for HESI tutors.

This book was helpful in helping me study for my teaching certification. I was able to use the test as help in getting me up to date in the areas of competency I needed a the most help in. Also the videos were extremely helpful in explaining the problems I did not understand.
