The Geography Bee Complete Preparation Handbook 1001 Questions Answers to Help You Win Again and Again! Matthew T Rosenberg Jennifer E Rosenberg Books Reviews
- For Pete's sake, this book is from 2002!
I feel cheated. So much of the information is outdated.
So many countries mentioned in the book no longer exist. A few new ones do.
The authors have not updated this book, nor have they let us know this is from 2002, so we should beware of outdated info. - One question asks "which state has the capital Montpelier and is located east of NH - Vermont or Pennsylvania? Umm, last time I looked Vermont is WEST of New Hampshire... (
- It was somewhat helpful, but my 10yo found several mistakes in it (and not just outdated inaccuracies because if the book's age). Don't use this as your only study guide.
- My daughter used this book to study for the Bee and she ended up being runner up. She did better than I had expected. Highly recommend.
- Cramming for a geo bee is really tough. There's a near infinite amount of information about the world for you to try to digest - but precious little information about what a bee is really like and what kind of questions they really ask. "The Geography Bee Complete Preparation Handbook" covers those issues better than anything else out there. While there is some good geography overview source materials here - this isn't what makes this book special. The study guides are good, but can't compete with online games like geonet or purposegames. The real strength of this book is the articles about what the bee is really like and how to go about structuring your study plans and practice sessions. That and the 1001 practice questions. These questions are true to the style and feeling of real Nat'l Geographic GeoBee questions. Time and again I find I have trouble cooking up a good supply of these types of questions for study sessions on my own. Having a big supply like this on hand is invaluable. My only real complaint is that there isn't more of them. I'd like a book of 10,001 questions!
All in all, this is the best and most useful geography bee study guide I've seen (and I've seen most). Highly recommended for anyone getting prepared for a geography bee. - Daughter just did fantastic in local bee and we purchased this post bee to fuel her enthusiasm for next year. While certainly not everything that could be asked its a book with a solid foundation.
- Colonel Gadafi is still ruling Libya if you go by the information in this book. Many facts are correct but there have been too many changes in politics and also country names and borders for this to be a reliable source for studying.
- I really like this book. Lays out the format, and gives you a good bit of questions to prepare at all levels. Great tips as well. Studying with my kid now )
