Customer Reviews

Good indication of the actual exam

This book gave good information of what to expect on the exam. There are not many practice problems, but each type of problem you can expect is detailed at length. The practice test was a good indicator of the actual exam; I scored the same on reading as I did on their practice exam and better on math. As mentioned already, the essay topics are all listed so if you're very diligent you could write all 70 essays ahead of time and be set when you get to the actual test! Overall MUCH better than the Barron's book though it has less review and fewer practice questions. Barron's is not as focused on what is actually tested so I felt some of what they cover is just wasting your time.

Praxis I Study Guide

This was a valueable resource for anyone who is self-studying for the PRAXIS exam.

They make the test...Hence the 5 stars

I used this book along with one other prep manual(Cliffs)and I passed the test on my first try. This book does not give much practice material. The reading, math and writing sections are glossed over. I would not call this book an exclusive prep book. It contains only one practice test. The questions that are given are from an actual old praxis test. So you will get a general idea of what a real test will look like. Another perk this book offers is a complete list of essay topics. My actual essay topic was listed in this book. Even though it is not packed with test prep information, I would still purchase it for the essay topics and old practice exam.

Great Praxis Study Guide

After researching books and reading numerous reviews to determine which book I would buy to be my PRAXIS study guide, I decided on this book. It is written by the same company who writes the PRAXIS exam and I believe they would know better than anyone on what to study. This book has been a great help because I have strengths in Reading and Writing, yet Mathematics is my weakness, yet this book is coaching me through the process. I love the review of what to study and the problems. With the Prayer, this Praxis Study Guide, Math.com and a Math Textbook I have faith that I will pass the math.

This is the BEST book for preparing for the Praxis!

I had looked at several Praxis/PPST review books. I ended up getting this one because it is written by ETS, the folks that make the test. I figured they of all people would know what sorts of questions would be on the test and what I should study! The book is clear, informative, and concise. You won't waste your time studying unnecessary information. It also includes a complete practice test and information on taking the test by computer. I took the computerized PPST today and got a GREAT score, way above the passing score required by my state board of education. I highly recommend this book!
