Customer Reviews

Good General preparation

I used this book as part of my study stategy and am happy to say that I passed my MSAT on the first try. What you have to bear in mind is the huge scope of information that MSAT potentially covers, makes it impossible for any review book to hit on questions that may actually appear on your exam. The Hirsch books(What every 4th, 5th 6th grader needs to know) were very helpful in focusing on specifics, in terms of facts. California is changing exams for teacher credentialing and will now require the CSET instead of the MSAT. I understand the form is different, fewer essays and more emphasis on California history, but the rest is not too much different than MSAT. Have confidence in yourself, eat a good breakfast, bring a snack and don't psyche yourself out. I am in my mid-40's and am working on my Master's as well as a credential after being away from school since 1977. You can do it!

The best test preparation for the MSAT

This is a great book. I was so nervouse to take MSAT,since so many people said that it is difficult. But I passed it in one shot.I migrated USA 1 1/2 years ago and I am not a native English speaker. But this book helped me to get 14 out of 18 raw score in Language Arts section of Content area exercise.What matters is how you study using the book. This book gives you an idea of what is expected. If you need more clarification on some concepts, better you do it with other sources eg: internet. Beleive me, there can't be one single book that matches with different study/learning patterns of people. But I spend one month carefully studying each section while using other sources for clarification (I am a full time student in a university, married with two kids going to school, do a part time job). Don't expect everything from this book or dont be scared of MSAT or CSET.

PASSED ON THE 1ST SHOT

I KEEP HEARING HOW DIFFICULT THE MSAT IS! ITS NOT DIFFICULT. THE TRICK IS TO ACTUALLY STUDY. THIS BOOK HAS AN 8 WEEK STUDY PROGRAM. THE CONTENT ON THE MSAT IS ELEMENTARY, MIDLE SCHOOL AT BEST, BUT WE ALL LEARNED THIS STUFF SO LONG AGO THAT WE ALL FORGOT IT. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PASS, GET THIS BOOK, AND FOLLOW THE STUDY GUIDE. PUT IN THE TIME, BELIEVE ME, THE SACRIFICE IS WORTH IT!!!

Best Test Preparation for the Msat Multiple Subjects Assessm

This book was a tremendous help. I used it as my primary study guide and I passed the exam on my first try! Give yourself plenty of time to read through it though - the information is highly condensed. I also used the Cliffs Notes book and the "What your ... needs to know" series. Good luck!

Excellent Review and Tests

I found the tests prepared me for the exam and would highly recommend the REA. There are slightly fewer exam questions on the current MSAT than what is presented in the REA book. The reviews are thorough and well done. The best book of the ones I looked at.
