I bought this book, along with the Cliffs and the Boosalis How to Beat the CSET books. I read this book after reading the Cliffs book and I felt like the material that was presented was not well organized or focussed on key concepts that could stick in your head. The Art and Human Development sections were fine. I just stopped reading this book after a few pages into the History section, because too many details were listed without any focus on the important things. There were no tables (like Boosalis book) or outlines (Cliffs) to give a good overview of main concepts. The sample tests in this book were pretty stupid. I just felt like the questions they asked were not realistic. I found that they were very different in nature than the real test, the sample test online at the CSET website, or in the Cliffs book. Don't bother with this one in my opinion.
