busymama7 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Can anyone recommend some test prep books? My kids are 15,13,11,and 9 and have never done any testing. The oldest are taking a biology class this year and have bombed every test. I think it is because I have not done tests all along with them. I should have but I digress... I am thinking about taking a few weeks of school this term and working through some grade level test prep books and then giving them a standardized test like the CAT. I just wanted a recommendation on a good prep series I could use for all of them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 For lower grades, Spectrum prep books are pretty good. They have general grade-level volumes. They're useful for tests like the CAT. For older kids with specific subjects, such as for SAT subject tests, I favor Princeton Review. Barron's makes good prep books, as well, but be warned that the Barron's books are really challenging and can be a bit discouraging (they're often harder than the actual exams).

busymama7 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thank you! That is helpful. I found Seton testing service which will send me the CAT and the spectrum prep books. I think I will do with that for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
