TExES History 7-12 (233) Secrets Study Guide: TExES Test Review for the Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (Secrets (Mometrix))

Highly recommend

I really liked this book. It's not saturated with information. It shows you the topics that you will be quizzed on. The practice test is very helpful, and actually some of the questions on the practice were on the real test! I recommend this book to anyone who already knows some history and wants to pass the test.

It doesn't provide enough information to be useful, and some of the information is incorrect. The section on Texas history is a joke, absolute and complete joke!!! Native Americans never existed in Texas (not in any section of the guide). One generic paragraph about Spanish Texas, no mention of any Spanish explorers - not even de Vaca. One short paragraph on the Texas Revolution basically covers the Alamo. No mention of cattle or cattle trails, but hey - it covers important (dripping with sarcasm) topics like football, baseball, and "other popular sports" There is nothing in the Texas section that is useful. I think it was written by someone with a stereotypical view of Texas that knows nothing about its history. The guide by Cirrus is better in my opinion - although I like this guide's format much better.

I felt like this helped to give me a good overview of what to study for the test. Flip through this and go through the crash-course history videos on the internet and you'll be good to go.

As a brief overview and guide the secrets guid was good. I would also pair it with the current textbooks that have the current TEKS.

I have purchased other book but this book what I have seen it look complete in every ways.

Just started using this book and material looks like exactly what I need for my TExES exam coming up. I have used another Mometrix book before and it was great.

I am enjoying the explanation of the test questions
