 great aid for Praxis prep but watch out for that essay! March 29, 2008
I just took (and passed) the Praxis I exam a couple of weeks ago. I used this book as a refresher course; studied it a few days prior to the test. It helped a lot to familiarize me with the type and format of questions asked. I do wish I'd taken the essay part more seriously--you really need to use the sample essay as a cookie-cutter guide. Although my college essays rate very highly, I only got a 6 out of 12 on the Praxis essay. It is not content or style they're looking for, but form, form, form. Don't get fancy, don't try anything subtle or clever; simply dust off that tired old "5 paragraph, topic sentence" essay that was drilled into your brain during high school and you should do fine. I repeat--do not write as though you are writing an analysis paper for a college lit prof; write as though you are writing to please your 10th grade English teacher.
I was able to take the computer-based test, which I would recommend if it is possible in your area. I was able to see my scores (except for the writing part) immediately after I took the test.

This book helped me focus my study and gave lots of practice questions. I still needed to look up problem areas on the internet; however the review explanations were decent. I recommend this as a companion to the ETS books. These exercises are better and the explanations are more to the point.

I found this book to be a helpful review for the Praxis test. Personally, I needed a good math review (the last math class that I had taken was five years ago). Math is my weak point; so, I was pleasently surprised to score nearly perfect on my Praxis. This book is well worth its value and provides a good summary of what to expect on the Praxis - especially if you are on a time crunch!

I just took my praxis exams this morning, and if I didn't use this book, I would have been a little lost. It has everything you could think of is preparing for this test, and when you have completed all tests and toward finishing college and looking for a job, this book's last section shows how to pump up your resume and gives you tips when looking for a job.
If you are in the education major, Id recommend this book, it will take you far in your higher education and beyond.

This book helped me prepare for the CPPST version of the PRAXIS. I was using Exam Cram, but that review guide was too simple and easy...too good to be true. I am so glad I bought this one too. Barron's helped me prepare for my PRAXIS, especially the Writing section. I'm giving this Barron's 5 stars.
