Designed with New York State high school students in mind. CliffsTestPrep is the only hands-on workbook that lets you study, review, and answer practice Regents exam questions on the topics you're learning as you go. Concise answer explanations immediately follow each question--so everything you need is right there at your fingertips. After going through the practice questions, you can use the workbook again as a refresher to prepare for the Regents exam by taking a full-length practice test. You'll get comfortable with the structure of the actual exam while also pinpointing areas where you need further review.
Inside this workbook, you'll find sequential, topic-specific test questions with fully explained answers for each of the following subjects: World History, Geography, Economics, Civics, Citizenship, and Government.
A full-length practice test at the end of the book is made up of questions culled from multiple past Regents exams. Use it to identify your weaknesses, and then go back to those sections for more study. It's that easy!
