Cracking the Texas End-of-Course English II

by Kevin Collins

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the English II exam is very different from getting straight As in school.  TPR doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about English -- only what they'll need to know to score higher on this exam. There's a big difference . In Cracking the Texas English II , TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers.

This will be accomplished by teaching students how
Eliminate answer choices using Process of Elimination and other techniques
Master the rules of grammar, usage, and mechanics that they need to know to score higher
Attack reading comprehension questions by learning to read only what they need
Test their knowledge with review questions for each English concept covered

*This book includes 2 full-length simulated exams.  All of the sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual EOC English II exam, and every solution is fully explained.
