Summary: Thanks A Lot Barrons
Comment: The Barrons' SSHSAT was a big help in helping me get into Brooklyn Tech. At first I aimed for Stuyvesant, but I was only a few points away, ending up in Brooklyn Tech. The book helped me a lot in getting in. I was really bad at the verbal part of the exam, but the book help me shapen up before the test. I also suggest you to get the Kaplan's SCI-HI book to succeed. With the examples and practices from both books, you will definitely get in. Good luck to the people who would be taking the test.

Summary: A Good Supplement to Use Along With Other Reviw Books
Comment: I bought this book and the Kaplan Sci_Hi review book as well. I am a parent and have been going through the books with my daughter. The Zimmerman book offers helpful test strategies and study exercises. However, the practice tests have some mistakes and some of the questions are poorly written. The practice tests are not actual items from previous tests, but are constructed to be similar in difficulty. However, the practice test questions in this book were more difficult than the tests in the Kaplan book, and in the student handbook put out by the NYC Board of Education. The Kaplan book and Bd. of Ed. practice tests are actual items from previously used tests, and are therefore a better gauge of the test's level of difficulty. They are also free of errors. I recommend buying the Zimmerman book for the study tactics and study exercises. However, the Kaplan book provides better practice tests, as well as good study information. If you can only get one, get Kaplan. Also, the Bd. of Ed. puts out a free student handbook to the specialized high schools with 2 practice exams ihcluded.

Summary: Hope my sister gets in
Comment: I got into Brooklyn Tech without the benefit of this book. I missed Bronx Science by 8 points. I feel that if I had this book, I might have gotten into all three high schools. Now, it is my litte sister's turn to take the test. She hates math a lot but has built a tolerance for it through this book. She has been doing well on the verbal section which has made me extremely happy. I think she nearly aced the verbal part on the last practice. Her only problem was scrambled paragraphs but she is now acing those too thanks to this book. Give yourself at least six months to study unless u know that u can get in with little or no preparation.
