Great
I am very pleased with the amount of time I waited to receive this item. It was shipped quickly and I received it within a few days of making the purchase.
Sample tests are not representative of the real deal...
I purchased the Praxis Official Guide 2008 in preparation for the Praxis I exam. Although the reading and writing sections were similiar to the sample tests in this guide, the math section did not scratch the surface of the types of problems I was confronted with.
In fact, I read and reread the preparation tips several times. I practiced the previous tests given religiously, and I memorized all of the formulas suggested in this book. I went into the testing area feeling confident and prepared, and left the examination feeling overwhelmed and defeated.
I'm still waiting for a response from ETS.org regarding this situation. My suggestion is to look for other resources to properly prepare yourself for the Praxis I.
The Praxis Series Official Guide
Some of the problems in the PPST I test were the same as the problems in this book. The Essay Topics section was right on the money. The topic I was given was the same as one of the topics in this book. I wish I would have studied this section more. I also purchased REA PRAXIS PPST tests.
I passed two of the three tests - Reading: 175; Math: 185, and I am still waiting for the results from the writing test.
If you are preparing for the PRAXIS I test, I strongly suggest you get both books.
Not great for PLT and content areas
Not a great choice for PLT. This book only gives an outline of topics covered along with three practice tests. The content area sections only gives around 15 sample questions and answers, that's it. More than half of the book is dedicated to the PPST and they are covered in far more depth.
Praxis Guide-Excellent prep material
Great book to prepare for the Praxis series of tests. Excellent!! Great deal too!
