This comprehensive study guide—a balanced combination of preparatory exercises and practice tests for studying in the months or weeks before the exam—provides chapters on U.S. history, world history, geography, political science, economics, and the behavioral sciences, and includes lists of topics and possible questions. The practice test itself is introduced with an explanation of the way multiple-choice questions are worded and advice about how to read them efficiently—correct answers and explanations are also provided. Helpful test-taking strategies are offered throughout and summarized in a section titled "Last-Minute Tips," and the appendices include a study plan and a list of additional resources.
