    Excellent tool for any 8th grader who needs to take a high school entrance exam for a Catholic High School. It was a complete review of all subjects and math and algebra were covered very well. The review tests helped my teen get an excellent grade on her entrance exams.

    This is one of the standard books for preparing for catholic high schools.

    However it is not the only one. I bought the book for my son’s exam preparations. It has served its purpose. Gave him a good idea about the test questions. It made him feel confident.

    Don’t waste your money (and time) on this book! It is filled with errors as other reviewers have cited. I only wish I had read their reviews before I purchased this book for my child, who encountered more than a dozen errors on the practice tests. The editors and proofreaders of this book should be ashamed! I am talking about the 2009 edition with the orange cover. Another reviewer says this book is an improvement over a previous edition. Faint praise at best.

    We recently paid for a diagnostic exam at a local test preparation center, which will remain nameless. They used this book’s exam for my son’s assessment. Fortunately, before making any decisions about using the center for a full preparation course, we took their proposed program home and asked them for a copy of the diagnostic questions. However they did not give us a copy of all the questions and all the answers.

    In reviewing the questions for some of the answers the center had marked wrong we couldn’t understand why there were no choices that were actually correct, yet my son was marked wrong anyway. We purchased a used copy of the book to find out more. After reviewing the actual book, we found it has many errors. The test preparation center and the book’s assessment have now lost credibility and we have lost our time trying to figure this out. Thankfully, Amazon sellers were selling this book for only a penny + shipping.

    Some questions on the HSPT diagnostic which should not be trusted are:

    Quantitative: #17 (no correct choice listed)

    Mathematics: #38 (choice A should read ‘-1′ but reads 2/5. In the overview section the editors didn’t catch this but they actually listed ‘-1′ as the correct choice)

    Language: #46 (no correct choice – “anniversary” is spelled correctly)

    This book was written by someone who could not pass a HS equivalency exam. The number of incorrect answers to the Math problems is unbelievable. For your own sanity, teach your child yourself before you even think of opening this book. I’d like to know who edited this. How can McGraw Hill publish this – does anyone in this world know grammar-school math? I wish I paid for this directly and not along with tuition to the review class. I would insist on a refund and sue for emotional damage!

    I am unable to enter zero stars – that is the only reason it gets one star.
