Review Book vs. Review Program
The review book and review program cover the same content and provide the same practice assessments. However, control over content, editability, and format differs greatly across resources. The review program better suits educators seeking greater control over review materials and greater editability in resources. The review book better suits educators looking for materials that allow students to review independently and offer a more economical price point for content.
