Customer Reviews

Great book!

This book is definitely the one to get! This book has TWO practice tests for each test, whereas the ETS book only has ONE test. This book also reviews important concepts and explains them clearly and in an organized fashion. Highly recommend!! The ETS book is not as helpful.

Very Helpful

This book was much easier to use than the one from ETS. Information for each category on the test were easily accessible and clearly stated. The format for the case studies and multiple choice questions were exactly like the actual test. If you are looking for a book that is going to truly help you prepare for the PLT, this is it!

Worked for me!

I am pursuing an alternate licensure track in Ohio and needed to take the PLT 7-12 as part of the process. Although I finished a MA Ed degree in 2004, I didn't have the background in this material like current undergrads might. So I needed a sound text for not only review but also with important topics fleshed out for study. I read this book cover to cover twice and made review lists with major points to study starting one month prior to the test. I did all the multiple choice questions and reviewed the free response for all the age groups. I just got my score and passed with a 179. Ohio's passing score is 165. This book works!

Good for an overview

This book is good for giving an overview of the set up of the test and strategy. Especially since I had no idea what to expect!

Excellent and Thorough Review

This book is very well organized, gives the student/teacher plenty of practice tests, and provides a thorough review. It was the third test-prep. item I purchased. I only wish it would have been the first, as I would have needed to look no further!
