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. Contents Include: I Orientation Introduction Test Strategy II Subject Review American Foundations to 1750 The Struggle for Freedom 1750 to 1815 A Nation in Conflict 1815 to 1877 World History III The Princeton Review Practice Tests
