Good help in preparing for the Praxis

I used this book to prepare for the Middle School Content Knowledge test. It lists all the topics covered and gives many practice questions for each subject area. It also gives detailed explanations of the answers.

A necessary outline of everything you will need to know

I bought this book for the Middle School Social Studies PRAXIS. Although it had iffy reviews, I bought it anyway, and I'm so glad I did. This book does NOT have information to study, but it has an incredibly helpful outline of the possible topics on the exam. I used the outline and researched (with a textbook and online encyclopedias) basic info on the topics with which I was unfamiliar. In addition, this book provides a practice test, which gives you an idea of the scope and scale of the questions on the exam. If you're taking Middle School Social Studies, buy this book!

Just Like The Test

I ordered this book about 1 month before taking Praxis 0049. I thought I was ready for the test, but this book proved me wrong! The practice test in this book is exactly the same format as the actual Praxis (which has very long, detailed questions.) This book does not give you answers, but rather guides you toward which topics to study, which books to read, etc. I then easily found the answers to each topic online or at our local library. The book also gives excellent advice on how to approach the different types of standardized test questions. I had not been in an English class for 20+ years, but with this book I passed Praxis 0049 the first time with a score of 173.

Good tool-but you have to know how to use it!

I took the 0146 Middle School test. The content outlines and highlighted topics (indicated by a star in the book) were especially helpful for identifying content that could be on the test. However, access to middle school textbooks is a must to get information needed for the test. Many of the sample test questions were more specific than the questions on the actual test. This book was worth the money.

Worth the money

This book is worth the money. It lays out to topics to study and provides a practice test. I bought this book to review for the middle school math praxis and am glad I did since I wouldn't have thought to review some of the topics listed in the book. You'll need some text books and the internet to study but it's a good guide.
