Customer Reviews

The best learning resource in its field

I have used Problem Solving and Comprehension since the early 1980's with student populations ranging from 9th graders preparing for the SAT/ACT to medical residents preparing for their boards. It serves well as a stand-alone text for individuals looking to improve their test-taking and problem-solving performance. However, It is really powerful when used with test-takers working in small groups, a group of two is best, in the interactive sessions described in the materials. I've also use Problem-Solving and Comprehension in faculty and staff development sessions to help them become better tutors/facilitators in the area of study skills and test taking. I would, and do, recommend this book to anyone trying to improve test-taking performance.

Excellent teaching material

Excellent source for helping students with standardized tests.
