A good resource

This is a very useful guide to the New York State 5th Grade Social Studies test. The book gives a very clear idea of the types of questions that will be asked on the exam, the level of difficulty and how to approach each problem. This is a book designed for parents and teachers who are preparing their kids for the test. There are two full exams with answers and excellent explanations. Overall, I think the book is a very good tool and is worth getting. The book's one drawback is that it does not have a very thorough review of the actual material that the test will cover. There is a very good vocabulary list. But that is really all in the way of substance. This may be because the actual exam does not test volumes of facts, but basic skills and concepts.
