Summary: Compared alot of TASP books read all my reviews
Comment: Over most of these TASP review books get 2 stars at most. I have ordered this Barron's book from here. The Reading and Writing sections of this book and in the other books I have bought and/or checked out from the libary are all about equal and will help you. The test questions themselves DO appear harder then the study guide question. Over ALL (repeat) ALL of the study guides I have used lack poorly in the math section! This Barron does not even give you the answer key to check your math answers for the drills in the math part!!! It does provide one for the two practice TEST within the book, but otherwise your left on your own to find your practice math answers. Why write a study with no answer key? Another book "The Best Test Prepartion for the TASP" study guide has better math examples overall, but it's still lacking. I suggest getting non TASP math books for study. I myself am returning to school after 10 years. I am not orginally from Texas so I am at the mercy of an awful state system. I feel this TASP test is a way for someone to just get extra money from the students and is a WASTE of time. If your college has it ask to take the ACCUPLACER TEST!!! It's easier and less costly. Also note only a simple 4 function calculator can only be used on the TASP!!! Scientific calcs are banned! (yet I can a sci calc while in school/class? Hmm does this not tell you they WANT you to screw this part up?) When was the last time the MAKERS of this test not use a sci calculator themselves? FIGHT THIS TASP TEST! Write the money hungry makers of it and tell them it's BULL!!!!!
I give this Barrons book 2 stars due to it's poor math section.
I give The Offical TASP Study guide 0 stars!!! It's just awful! A complete waste of money!
I give The Best Test Prepartion for the TASP study guide 2 1/2 stars, math section is slighty better but not by much.
Remember take the ACCUPLACER TEST instead if your school has it!!!!! Good luck all on your test.

Summary: Not many practice tests
Comment: This book is well organized. You will not find any difficulty to study it by yourself. However, it just contains 2 full length tests only, it is not enough for those who have never had the TASP before.
You have to buy another TASP book for more practice after buying this, in order to pass the exam.

Summary: Okay review - but not that great....
Comment: After completeing college some time ago, I found I had to take the TASP test in order to enter a teacher education program in Texas. I hadn't done much math beyond balancing my checkbook for about 10 years, so I knew I needed a refresher on the quadratic formula. I bought this book, and really did it, but when I took the test I found much of the material I had prepared for was irrevelant, too easy, and generally just not on the test. The explanations were well written and a lot came back to me as I was studying, but in general, the questions on the actual test were more complex than this book led me to believe. The reading section also contained lengthy explanations on concepts that weren't even on the test. But I mean let's face it, the TASP isn't brain surgery - I hope I passed it anyway - but this book was only an okay preparation.
