Review Date: May 20, 2008
Reviewer: etraveler, San Diego, CA
I would definitely not recommend this book as a study guide for the Social Sciences CSET. When I received the book I was very surprised how thin it was with so little information in it for the amount of money that it cost. I actually think that it took me about 1 ½ hours to read it from front to back with all the spacing and extra large font. When was reading it, I was surprised that there wasn't much information regarding the test itself. They never mentioned how many essays and questions were on the test, how long we have to complete it, or how it is broken down. Most of the information was general test taking information that you can find in other study guides or on the Internet. When it came to "the secrets," I had read them all before are weren't specific to the test either and pretty confusing and you would have to spend time studying all the methods that they recommend. I would rather spend time studying the content. When it came to that, they would have a term or word that could be on the test but wouldn't give a definition or any information about it. You would have to spend time looking up the information on your own, and hoping you get the right information. For example they would list, "progressivism" or John Locke" and you would have to research that term yourself. I feel that when the book cost $40 you should be given this information and not have to hunt for it using other resources. After gladly putting this book down I bought the Cliff notes CSET SS book instead and it was much better so I definitely recommend that one instead. It is about ½ the price and has 10 times the information. I just wish I bought it sooner before the test so I didn't waste any time or money with this book.
