This has been my favorite study guide for a basic review of math and science and other subjects but there are some factual errors in the history section, eg: it states that Emperor Constantine divded the Roman Empire when in fact his predecessor Diocletian split the empire. I hope the people who write the CSET tests have a better grasp of history than Baron's and Cliff Notes.

I recommend studying this guide for a thorough but basic review and then studying the Kaplan guide, which provides more in-depth information and more advanced math and science problems. Kaplan is also the only CSET guide book that contains completely accurate historical information.

I haven't taken the CSET yet, but I already feel more prepared that I did after taking a practice exam when I first began studying. I would have given a five star review but some of the topics are covered to a greater extent than others so it may not be helpful for those in need of a great deal of instruction on all areas. I may edit this review after I take the exam

This book did an excellent job of preparing me for the test. It was the only study aid I used and I passed all three subtests on my first try.

Absolutely the best test prep book I found for CSET Multiple Subjects. Kaplan had info not necessary for the test. REA had many mistakes. Love the design of this book.
