 Awful May 13, 2008
I cannot believe this tiny book costs so much money. For this price, I expect an editor to be involved in the process but apparently there is none. It barely touches upon topics and if it does, they are easy concepts. Questions at the end of the book are useless. Save your money.

I picked-up this book to review for the NYSTCE Bio CST that I took in Dec. 2007. Now that I have taken the exam, and gotten my results (passed), I feel comfortable writing this review. This book's sample 150-question mult. choice test was nothing like the actual test. This book is written with sample questions that you might find on a high school or Bio 101 test. The examples given in this book were poor, answers were incorrect, and questions were poorly written and explained. The actual test had 90 multiple choice questions which were definitely written by scientists with an eye toward only the highest levels of Bloom's Taxonomy! Be prepared for a lot of reading. Each question is lengthy, as well as each answer choice that is given. I do not feel that this book enhanced my chances of doing well on this exam. I did well because I went back and studied notes and flashcards and concepts on my own and with other students. I do not recommend that anyone buy this book. Instead, go to the NYSTCE website and download their prep guide for the BIO 006 CST - it's free. This prep guide has three-quarters of exactly what you will find in this book: the State's required competencies listed by subareas, test-taking & studying tips, a sample constructed response question with good, better and best answers demonstrated, a sample question for each subarea with answer and explanation. The only thing that the NYSTCE website guide does NOT have is a full-length mult.choice sample test. But considering how awful the mult.choice test in this book is, you're not missing anything. If I could give zero stars for this book, I would. Good luck everyone. Remember: Science Study Groups are the best way-to-go.
WASTE OF TIME AND $$$$$$$ December 7, 2007

What a waste of valuable time and money! The answers to some of the questions were wrong, and there were so many misspellings, (tempature, instead of temperature, protien instead of protein, availilit instead of availibility, etc.), that it's impossible to give the book any creditibility. Use an A.P. book to study from for the NYS CST. It's more accurate. If the site allowed, I would have given it NO stars.

WARNING: The questions are great, definately a wide variety of topics covered, HOWEVER: THE ANSWER KEY IS WRONG!!! Make sure you check your answers using the long-writen out answer key, otherwise you will be disappointed wiht your 'grade' on the mock test for sure!!! GOOD LUCK!

This study guide covers everything from designing a lab experiment to current issues related to ecology. Everything you need to study for the NY exam is here because it has been designed specifically to follow the NY state guidelines. No need to look anywhere else!
