Cracking the COOP/HSPT (Private Test Prep)

By Jeff Rubenstein

Book Overview

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the COOP and HSPT is very different than getting straight As in school. TPR doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about math, reading, and English -- only the techniques they'll need to score higher on the COOP and HSPT. There's a big difference. In Cracking the COOP & HSPT, TPR will teach test-takers how to think like the test-makers. This is accomplished by teaching students how to: Use process of elimination to eliminate choices that look right but are planted to fool the test-takerUse Ballparking on mathematics sections to narrow the answer choices and save timeLearn how pace oneself, to avoid dumb mistakes, and earn a higher scoreImprove scores by focusing on the material most likely to be tested *This book includes 4 full-length simulated exams: 2 COOP and 2 HSPT. All of The Princeton Review's sample test questions are like the ones test-takers will see on the actual COOP and HSPT tests, and every solution is fully explained.

my review

this helped my daughter to stop worrying about high school entrance exams

Best book available..but beware! BIG error in Answer sheet

Great book. I plan on using this to prep 8th graders for the HSPT in Pawtucket, RI this month. Content is excellent, layout and design are very appropriate for this age audience. It's an easy read that is packed with useful techniques and strategies, yet it's not as dense as other test prep texts available. Big caution however. Master answer sheet for use with both practice exams is missing a space for responses to question...
