 A Good Value September 29, 2003

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I think Ms.Windspirit has done a great job with this study guide.
There were a few proofreading errors and some problems were hard to make sense of. For example, page 16,problem #26 had angle "A" labeled so that it was difficult to tell whether the two similar triangles were isosceles or not (they weren't). P.121 problem #17 had a figure that confused me because the octagon's interior angles were shown as bisected.Problem #36 on page 291 had an incorrect letter listed as the answer, but the solution was correct. The book does a superb job reviewing all the competencies covered on the FCAT.The nonscientific calculator that is provided for use on the FCAT is well-explained with many examples. The geometry is clearly explained using many illustrations. There are good practice problems for each section and two big tests at the end of the book.Overall, you have a really good value with this study guide.If you already know the material, then you won't need this book. You can go with the Princeton Review which more to the point. If you want a whole lot of review and practice problems then this is the book for you. The only criticism is that it may be a bit overdone. You may be learning more than you need to do well on the FCAT.For example, I was tricked by problem #27 on page 17 which concerned conic sections.I also realized I couldn't read a "box and whisker" plot on another question.Both of these appeared in the diagnostic test,
In any case, all the Sunshine Standards are here.

I am tutoring a 10th grader in math and he has his FCATs next month. Since I did not grow up in Florida I had no idea what to expect. This book is helping me to help him prepare for the test. It has sample questions along with detailed answers so that I can make sure he understands the process of solving the problems competely. It is proving to be just what we needed tohelp him with his goal to pass the FCATs.
