This updated manual prepares New York State fifth graders for the required statewide social studies test.

She explains each question type with a series of examples based on fifth-grade-level social studies material, and she offers test-taking advice on how to answer the questions. The manual concludes with two full-length practice tests with answer keys and a vocabulary list of social studies-related words.
