Customer Reviews

Excellent
I bought this to study for the Praxis I Reading, Writing and Mathematics tests. I was an A-B student throughout High School and College but I had not taken a math course in almost ten years so I really needed to review. There are two tests for each area of study so I took both Math tests and reviewed my scores along with the explanations at the end. I did OK on the practice tests but not perfect. The explanations really helped. I also read through the Reading section but did not take any of those tests. I barely reviewed the Writing section. When I got my results back I had scored above average in everything but I did best in Mathematics - I got perfect scores in all sections except Geometry, where I missed a couple. My worst score was in Writing. I highly recommend this book as a study guide.

INCREDIBLY HELPFUL, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
This guide was perfect for studying for the Praxis Exam. The material is fairly basic to begin with but I would've had a much harder time on the exam had I not used this text to review. The guide reviewed all the basic materials you will need for the test, provides samples of all the types of questions as well as sample essay questions and different level graded essays. When I took the test a few weeks ago my essay topic was one of the exact topics from the book! The practice tests are super helpful and realistic, even if you are taking the computerized test like I did. This book allowed me to find all the information I may have already known and keep it available for the test. I was able to finish each section with time left over because I had the knowledge ready in my brain and the confidence of studying and taking the practice tests. I HIGHLY recommend this guide. (By the way, the scores are out of a possible 190 and I got a 185 Math, 184 Reading and am awaiting my writing scores - which I feel great about!) Good Luck!!

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.
