Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Really Helped!
This book is amazing! I fluncked the test the first time I took, so I decided to buy the book. The aced the praxis after studying this book. It has over 100 test questions and some a very similiar on the test, and it tells you what material will be on the test so you can study it. Do Not take the test without looking through this book. $115 is too much to spend twice!

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not much to go on!!
Don't buy this book if you need a histroy review. It only contains an outline and a sample test. The book states that a person taking this section of the Praxis should buy some history text books. I should have done that instead of wasting my money on this worthless book!
