Reader Reviews
Decent practice test questions for math, biological, & orgo & general chemistry. However, the verbal analogies/sentence completions are too easy, and the reading comprehension section depends primarily on outside knowledge and assumptions, rather than actual reading of passages. E.g., a question asked about the bioethical scientist's view on stem cell research. The direct statement from the passage states that the bioethical scientists want more stringent laws regarding the research, without explaining why they advocated legal regulations. However, the correct answer given by Cliffs is that the scientists debate whether people have the right to play God...Nowhere in the passage was God/religion ever mentioned. Also, some answers to chemistry and math questions provided wrong letter choices, even though explanations were correct. There are also typos in the questions and answers.
