Preparing for the Middle Grades Math Praxis II test

This is an excellent study guide to use as a prepartory book for the Middle Gardes Praxis II Math test. I am a special education teacher. I do not have a math background. I studied other materials thinking it would prepare me to take the Middle Grades Math Praxis II. I took the test and failed it (twice); therefore, I decided to try Priceton Review, because I am familiar with their excellent testing prepartory study guides. It did the job -- I re-took the test and I passed it!!! If you are having problems passing the Middle Grades Math Praxis II test, get the book and study your areas of weakness.

good review book

I worked with the following books and scored straight 800's: 1. SAT II Math With TI 2. 10 Realistic 1C Booklets 3. 10 Realistic 2C Booklets 4. Princeton Review SAT II Math I recommend that you do the same!

excellent book for review!

This book is very helpful and is easy to follow. They seemed to cover everything given on the test and offered great explanations. I believe I did spot a few typo's though? But nothing major. The tests at the end of the book were helpfull too; they seemed to me to be the same level of difficulty that the actual test was. Also, what's cool is that you can actually find your estimated scaled score... After taking the math 2c (got 790) I feel this book really provided me with a good review of math concepts. Good luck to all...

Excellent, consise- great for preparation!

This SAT book is excellent; it covered absolutely everything you'll to know but not in an overwhelming way. It seperates the Math IC and Math IIC, gave lots of practice excersises, and had two practice tests at the end. There was nothing on the math SAT test I wrote that wasn't covered in this practice book, and I scored really well, thanks to it.The practice tests were very close to the actual test and gives you a very good idea of the speed you'll need to work at.More practice tests would have been nice, but on the whole, it was very well done.

Another great review book by the experts at Princeton Review

I don't know what the other people are talking about, but I found this book very helpful. I used it to study for the Math IIC exam, literally, days prior to the test date and I still managed to get a 690, a respectable score. I feel that if I had more time, I would have done much better -- which is why I'm taking it over next year, leaving ample time to read the book at a leisurely pace. Sure, there are a few typos, but no one's perfect, and those errors do not detract from the overall package. The only way this book could get any better is if David Kahn, the author of the "Cracking the AP Calculus" series wrote it himself.
