The Princeton Review realizes that acing the Algebra I exam is very different from getting straight As in school. TPR doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about algebra -- only what they'll need to know to score higher on this exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the Texas EOC: Algebra I, TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers. This will be accomplished by teaching students how to: Eliminate answer choices using Process of Elimination and other techniques Earn more points by Plugging In numbers on algebra problems Use Backsolving to solve problems when they are unsure of the answer Test their knowledge with review questions for each algebra concept covered Master the math they need to know to score higher: algebraic expressions and equations, inequalities, graphing, and more Perfect their skills with practice questions for all material tested *This book includes 2 full-length simulated exams. All of TPR's sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual EOC Algebra I exam, and every solution is fully explained. Contents Include: Part I: Introduction About the Texas EOC and TAAS Exams Structure and Strategies Part II: Subject Review The Basics of Math and Algebra Simplifying Algebraic Expressions Solving Algebraic Equations Inequalities and Graphing The Rest Part III: The Princeton Review Practice Tests
