THE best ALST test prep book full stop!If you’re like me, you read reviews before buying something. I feel terrible because I always intend to leave reviews on products that are game changers for me but never get round to it. So here I am, note to self, leave reviews for Otterbox phone protector and Shout advanced gel (before the Otterbox case I had to change my phone every 3 to 4 months, yes I’m a klutz and ohh emm gee, Shout gel literally gets grass stains out of white pants!).I wanted to wait until I got my results before I posted my review, mainly because I wanted to have the experience of the test whatever direction my results went. My first piece of advice to anyone who is going to take the ALST is, just buy this book! It is without a doubt worth the investment. I initially bought the kindle version which is very reasonably priced, I returned it and then bought the paper version, call me old fashioned but I simply prefer a physical copy.What I love about the book is that it’s such an easy read, it makes you feel like the instructor Bridgette is talking to you in plain and simple English. I really liked the size of the book and the size of the text as it seems more informal and less daunting. The essay portion accounts for 60% and the multiple choice for 40% and you need to pass both to get a passing mark, that’s probably why the book has a heavy focus on the essays. It breaks everything down for you in a very digestible format in a very basic and blunt fashion, I found this extremely helpful.She tackles each of the essays separately explaining what they are asking and how to answer them. I found the section on charts and how to tackle the essay question based on charts especially useful.
