This book has the LAST,ATS-W and Multi subject CST practice tests,although it does gives lots of website links for the various Tst Objectives, it has no study material which i needed especially for the ATS and CST..I liked the Barron's book more [[ASIN:0764142984 Barron's NYSTCE: LAST ATS-W CST]]http://www..com/gp/product/0764142984/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ))coz it seems more compact and also gives a lot of study material for the ATS-W and a little for the CST too..I still dont know how to prepare for the multi sub cst !

Though from the whole book there is only one question was similar to the one on the test, I like this book because it gave me a rough idea about all three tests. I am glad that I passed them at one shot and got a good score for each.

I only used the book for the CST test preparation, but it was excellent in preparing me for the certification exam. The practice test were good as a way to let me know how I was doing, and I passed my CST after studying with this book, so I would say it helped!

It is not about this specific brand but there is no real preparation book for NYSTCE :( just two sample test doesn't cover all topic and I don't even know the limits of the test. No guiding on writing parts well.Not well organized. Curriculum is not clear. It is not ok for someone who doesn't know anything about the system of a new country. It is not explaining fromA to Z for somebody new. I solved the tests. I am not bad on score of those samples but I don't know how much does it cover the general test content. There is no topics list of what is to study. And pathway chart.

I will recommend this book to anyone preparing to take the LAST, ATS-W and Multi-subject CST. It's a very useful tool.

This review is only in reference to the CST Multi-Subject Test. I used this book, and other resources to study for the NY CST for Multi-Subject and I am sad to say that none material covered in the Math section was applicable and only some of the other sections topics were applicable. I believe it is because New York in the last few years has revised the test. If you are looking to study for this exam look for a newer publication date such as 2014 or newer.

Although New York has terminated the LAST and ATS-W exams this book really prepared me. I got a 278 on theATS-W and a 246 on the LAST, math, science, technology was the one area I scored below. However I would reccomend this book, especially since my last math class was in 2000, and sciecne class was in 1999

I bought this book to prepare for the CST and I got to say it was a great help! It really help me prepare for the questions.
