Product Description:
Score high on the entrance exam and get into the Catholic school of your choice
To enroll in a Catholic high school, you must first pass the Cooperative Admissions Examination Program (COOP), the High School Placement Test (HSPT), or the Test for Admission into Catholic High Schools (TACHS). McGraw-Hill's Catholic High School Entrance Examinations provides complete coverage of all three exams. You get four full-length sample tests with complete answer explanations, confidence-building drills and exercises, and step-by-step review of all topics tested.
Summary: Has many errors - If you use a test preparation center, make sure they don't use this book.
Rating: 1
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)
"Faithless book to deceive me, I who tru-sted so" (adapted from Pirates of Penzance)
Summary: Not worth the paper it is written on - an embarrassment for McH
Rating: 1
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.
Summary: HSPT Test Review
Rating: 3
We used this book to prepare for an upcoming high school entrance exam. We have since found several errors in the book, including 3 incorrect answers on a single page. Publishers should spend more time making sure these accuracy of the printed materials. It cheapens their brand. I would not recommend this book.
Summary: Filled with Mistakes
Rating: 1
What a waste of money and fustrating for my daughter - this book is filled with errors, typos and mistakes. Never again McGraw Hill
Summary: McGraw-Hill's Catholic High School Entrance Exams (McGraw-Hill's Catholic High School Entrance Examinations)
Rating: 5
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.
