Your Own Personal Teacher... From the Comfort of Home
Click below to play a sample Core Video from our CBEST Online Prep program. This particular video focuses on identifying the theme, thesis statement, or central idea of a passage. You can typically expect to encounter several questions on the CBEST Reading exam that will ask you to make this type of identification. Here we discuss what these terms mean, how to identify each, and also provide an example that illustrates a common wrong answer trap that test-takers often fall into when selecting the topic sentence of a paragraph or passage.
When you purchase any of our CBEST Online Prep programs, you'll get Core Videos like this one covering every key reading concept you need to pass. You'll learn the same key subject matter you would in our live classes, as well as strategies for success on the various multiple choice question types you can expect on the exam. Then, once you are confident with the underlying subject matter, you can watch our Smart-STEM Virtual Tutoring videos, in which a tutor will show you how to apply your knowledge to the specific question types you are most likely to encounter on the actual test.
Both our Core Videos and Smart-STEM Virtual Tutoring videos are included in all our Online Prep programs!
