Cracking the MCAS Grade 8 History and Social Science (Princeton Review: Cracking the MCAS)

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the MCAS Grade 8 History and Social Science exam is very different from getting straight As in school. TPR doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about history--only what they'll need to score higher on the exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the MCAS Grade 8 History and Social Science, The Princeton Review will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and:

*Score higher by knowing what will be on the test in advance
*Get familiar with the test format to avoid surprises on test day
*Use Process of Elimination, pacing, aggressive guessing, and other techniques to earn more points
*Dodge the test traps and pitfalls that cost test takers points

**This book includes 2 full-length simulated MCAS Grade 8 History and Social Science exams. The questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and The Princeton Review fully explains every solution.
