content: It's not a bad idea to include this book in your studies. Yes, the reviews are primarily true-that being that the content is just too light and that the sample test are way different from the real CSET test.Beef up by using E.D. Hirsch's, Scholastics, and going online to some of the educational websites. It's not a bad idea to order some of the new ones that are coming out (although it seems that some may be worse than the Cliff's). You need to get your hands on MORE resources so that you can walk into the testing room feeling confident that you will pass it.
