The reviewer, I must say, is harder than the test itself. However, think about it. Would you rather have a stinkin' easy reviewer then face a test that'll shake you to the core, or have a hard reviewer so you can tackle any question it can give you? I'd rather have the latter. Passed it first try, and this book gives all the info you will need - condensed and straight up. Plus some test strategies too. That's what I like about CliffsNotes.
I only used this book and another practice test on the RICA website, and I passed the RICA the first time around this past February. The questions in this book are actually much harder than the ones on the RICA test. To be honest though, I do have a great literacy professor in my credential program. When I read this book, most of it was review for me. It was a much needed review because there is so much to remember, but you should be somewhat familiar with the terms and concepts that are involved. All in all, this book is very much recommended! Good luck!
This was a great comprehensive overview. I studied for a couple of weeks before the exam and passed the test on the first try. I love cliffsnotes.
I missed my previous test for 3 points grrr. Anyways i like the practice test on this book only. The multiple choice questions on this book are not the same as in the actual test. Let me clarify this point, for the CSET and CBEST several questions on the practice book were similar in format and content as in the actual test. For the RICA test, the questions were on topic but questions format and content were significantly different.
I tried to pass the Rica 2x before buying this book without any luck. I bought this book, studied for 1 month and finally passed! I couldn't believe it since I had taken the Reading course 2 years ago as part of my program. I highly recommend this book. You have to really put in the effort if you want to pass this exam! Good luck!
This book uses language that is not on the test. Unlike the CSET and CBEST book, I thought this was poorly organized. The only valuable part of this book, to me, was the glossary. Sadly, there are better books and prep services out there.
I passed RICA on my first try. Not sure if it was the book, or my skills. But this was the only material I studied with, so 5 stars!
My girlfriend needed this book for her program. She didn't really like it but needed it anyway. She passed, so I guess there's that but I can't really say much more. Probably worth getting every chance you get, RICA is pretty important to pass.
