It has only one little section in the back about the Computer test. But all the information in the section is WRONG. There is no practice computer test that you need because the questions on the compute test are different from the regular test and so is the way you mark your answers.

I am not very good at math nor english. I am a fair student, but not the best. I passed all my ppst tests on the first try which is kinda odd in Pennsylvania. A lot of people are failing them by a point, but I scored higher than needed on all three. Give it a try, it worked for me.

-To the point
-Doesn't review unnecessary content like other prep books that I've studied from.
-Gets the job done.
p.s.
-Barron's is terrible; Lots of type-os and incorrect answers.
-The one published by Research and Education Association does a through Math review, unfortunately 90% of it isn't covered on the test.

I read this book -- and was somewhat impressed -- when I was a kid, but rereading it today it seems like a book written mostly to impress adolescents of the 1970s. The female characters are poorly drawn, the hip lingo is *really* out-dated, and the conundrum faced by the protagonist fails to grab today's adult readers. Even the profanity is boring.

...this work was dated, it is dated in its language, it is dated in the world view that it presented, but it is perhaps most dated in presenting a "media" figure who has retained some morality and who refuses to completely sell out to the powers to be.

In a nut shell, a once powerful leader of a left leaning political group has sold out his ideals, to become the host of the best rating current affairs show in America. By chance he is offered the chance to break a story on the most powerful corporate figure in America, a story which could change the fabric of America. Does he break the story, or does he accept the very attractive offer made by the corporate figure - after all wouldn't we all like to forever.

Norman Spinrad is one of those authors who never "broke out" but not because of the quality of his work. I would rank him with Ellison and Dick for quality. In short, he should be one of the greats.

His imagination is so rich that you will spend as much, or more, time thinking about what you are reading as actually reading his work. This book is a tremendous example of his gift. Spinrad understands the direction our purient privacy denying society twenty years before we arrived in our current sorry state.

If anything, reading this book you often forget when he was writing because the society he describes is seemingly so famil

I just finished reading this book. At first I thought it was really good, but I found it harder to get into towards the end. It seemed to drag on awhile, but overall it was good and had a lot of good stuff on themes. If you have to do a book report, this would be a good book to do it on.

Does the work: I passed the class w/o ever opening the book. :)

I loved this book. At the start of my junior year in college, I was forced to read this book by my English teacher. At first I did not want to read it, but after I started, I just could not put it down. I loved it. Twain used satire as he usually did, and it could not have been written better!

I started reading this book last night and was up till 3:00AM! I couldn't put it down. Every turn of the page was another adventure and another laugh.

We are reading this book in school. Although there are gorry parts in the book. I think that it gives you a real feel for what would happend if you were in a war.

This book is great if you're looking for a new opinion of All Quit on the Western Front. If you have the read the book for a school assignment but don't want to, don't think this book will get you out of it. This is simply a study guide for the real book.

I think that this book provides us with great notions about how the war crushed an entire generation of people; people who were hopeful, ambitous, and progressive. The story is about more than one man; it is about an entire generation

This book describes the trials and tribulations that a mislead family faced upon coming to the USA. The family of 11 (give or take) falls for all the traps that the manipulating meatpacking town laid out for them and all their fellow immigrants. Not only does this book tell in great detail the grotesque practices that occur in the meat backing industry (some of which still continue today by the way), but tugs on your heartstrings as the innocent family falls apart... and becomes victim to Social Darwinism. Simply put- I really liked this book and feel that it is worth wile reading.

This is perfect if you want to learn about the trials of immigrant families, the operations of the meat-packing industry, or need an example of a work by a muckraker in the early 20th C. The writing is very detailed and very graphic. Don't eat meat while reading, but it's well worth it.

I think that The Jungle is an excellent book. Though it is very attentive to detail, it is this information which creates the feeling of involvement that is necessary to enjoy this book. The story line is wonderful in that it gives you a glimpse of every socio-economic aspect of American life during this period in history. I strongly recommend it to those who wallow in self-pity because this book is an actual depiction of the horrible reality in which some of our ancestors once lived.

This is one of the worst plays ever published. I thought Shakespeare was a fool after reading this complely pointless play. Do not wase your money on this book because it is completly worthless. A total waste of time to even read any of this play.

It's Shakespeare, so you already know it's a good play. This play is not controversial because some people think it's good and some people think it's bad. There have always been people who hate Shakespeare, and always people who love him unconditionally. Being as objective as possible, this is a good play, don't misunderstand that. However, it has been railed (by the reactionary ADL especially) as being overtly anti-semetic. And maybe there are some anti-semetic undertones (to put it mildy)

I'm a Jew, and while I did find the character Shylock to be an almost laughable caricature of Jewish usury and greed, it's hardly the worst I've seen. I'm not excusing anti-semitism simply because Willy S (yes, Willy S) wrote it, but because it's not all that offensive (in my opinion)
So read The Merchant... with an open mind, and try to enjoy it for what it is, and remember it's just a play...

Shakespheare in the Merchant of Venice, explores again, like so many of his other plays, the difference between vice and virture, the noble and ignoble. This time out he compares the hero Antonio's acts of mercy with the villian Shylock's desire for justice, the spirit of the law versus the letter of the law. Shakespheare shows throughout the play that he is very confident that Christianity and its followers are superior to Judaism and its followers and quite frankly, his portrayal of the Jewish moneylender Shylock is anti-Semitic and leaves out none of the negative stereotypes. The play seems to be a Christian polemic with its theological interest in Christianity's mercy versus Judaism's justice, as Shakespheare sees it. It may have also been a warning to its audience about the moneylenders of Shakespheare's time.

The story is one in which Antonio offers to go into debt for a loan so that his friend Bassanio can have enough money to impress Portia, a woman he wishes to court and marry. Antonio goes into debt to Shylock, a moneylender who demands a pound of his flesh if he cannot pay back the loan. Shylock hates Antonio because Antonio has payed off many loans of his indebted clients and also has badmouthed him as an unethical loan shark, trying to damage Shylock's business.

It is the tension of hate between the two, which give the play an intensity, especially at the climax when Shylock is about to take a pound of his flesh. Also the fear of losing flesh to the moneylender makes for good drama. The character Shylock has some juicy vitriolic lines during the scene. And there is a certain glee Shakespheare builds into the play to see Shylock's "justice" turned against him.

There is also a subplot involving Portia and her various suitors who have to choose between 3 caskets of gold, silver, and lead. Choosing the correct casket will make them the husband of Portia. It was interesting to read about the different reasonings that each suitor has for their choices. Portia also disguises herself as a judge during Antonio's trial in which she helps to set him free of the charges and his friend Bassanio is persuaded to give up his engagement ring to the judge out of gratitude, which gets him in trouble with Portia later who does not tell him she was the judge as she asks him what happened to the ring.

This is a good, tightly constructed play with none of diffuseness of King Lear. It had more drama too.

I have just used this book to teach AP Spanish Language in high school. First of all, this book asks for grammatical knowledge way beyond what the students could possibly know and is much more difficult than the actual AP. In the answer section, the book has frequent errors, and many of the explanations only confuse the students. This might be a good book for college-level students - except they wouldn't be taking the AP exam. I recommend José M. Diaz' "AP Spanish" Preparing for the Language Examination" instead.

Unlike Princeton Review, this is an incredible guide to the exam. The practice sections and explanations alone put it up much higher than "Princeton" was in that part. Even so, I would have liked there to be more practice sections, but that could be because I'm not a good test taker and need more practice than what they gave.

I also could tell that I learned from my mistakes and their explanations by doing some sections more than once; there was a drastic improvement.

The essays were amazing and very clear to understand. The makers even bolded certain phrases to show complex vocabulary.

Even so, the chapter with lists of vocabulary- perhaps 1000 words in total- was daunting and slightly unneeded. Does the audience really need to learn all of the minerals, trees, fish, etc. in the world? Still, better over detailed than under detailed.

Buy this book for your preparation! It's worth every penny.

This is a REALLY good review for the AP Spanish Language Exam just because of its comprehensiveness. You can find practice for EVERYTHING on the test, and a lot of it, in this book. Even if, for example, you don't need to practice listening but need extreme help with grammar or reading, there still is extensive review for both of the latter topics. Trust me, Barron's makes the best language reviews, and this is further evidence of that. I ONLY used this book to review and ended up with a 5.

wemmick paid pip his money after he had put all the buscuit into the post what does that mean

This small Cliff Notes book reviewing Great Expectations is so useful. It helps you understand the Novel better. With this book you can really go in depth with the novel and find the real meaning and message Dickens was trying to express. The book has great character analizations and much more. I would recomend this book to anyone. It is the best source of help for Great Expectations.

This is a great book to have while reading Great Expectations. It helps break down the writing that Dickens' uses to help you understand the book better. I would recommend this book to anyone reading Great Expectations.

If you are planning on taking the PPST (AKA PRAXIS) this is the book you need! Baron's is a quality product to begin with, but with the practice tests, and answers, GREAT examples and much much more, this book with boost your score like you would not believe. I did so much better because of this book!

The examples and practice tests in this book are very similar to the actual Praxis test. I would highly recommend this book.

I just took the Praxis I ... , I aced the math section and did very highly on the other two sections. If you start studying with this book about two to three weeks before the exam, you should do very well. The study guides for each section were on target. The only criticism is that they tell you that you will be able to use an online calculatoron the math test but it was not available for me. Anyway, the problems are set up where you don't really need one anyway. There are some errors but overall it is the number one tool for studying for the Praxis I CBT. Good Luck!!
