 - Not reccomended for primary study guideI bought this book for $40 simply because it is made by the same people who make the praxis II test (also, becasue there are not too many other study guides for the 0089 test). The pluss side of the book is that it contains a 60 question practice test with answers. Seeing as how these are the same people who make the questions for the praxis test, you can be pretty certain that if you do well on the practice test. The problem with this book is that, while it tells you what you need to study for the test, it does not give you any information on the things that it tells you to study. It just says things like "Study ancient empires and civilizations," but it doesn't give you any information on it. For this reason, I do not reccomend buying this book. I don't think that it's worth $40 just for the practice test. Rating:  - Not enough of the right info!!Although, this book covers the basics, the basics are not what the Praxis II is about. There are only 30 math Questions(while there are 60+ of the others)and the Social Studies/History doesn't even scratch the surface of what you need to know for the test. If you buy this book just be aware that it is only a guide and you need to seek out other sources of study material. Rating:  - Great Study GuideThis book was a great study guide. But if you're looking to be spoon fed the answers on the test - look elsewhere. This is a GUIDE of what COULD be on the test. So you'll really have to study the material, but it's all worth it in the end when you pass with flying colors! Rating: - helped me for the special ed. praxisGood help for praxis special ed test-the thing is-there aren't a ton of resources-so this is good but could be better! Rating:  - Just Like The TestI ordered this book about 1 month before taking Praxis 0049. I thought I was ready for the test, but this book proved me wrong! The practice test in this book is exactly the same format as the actual Praxis (which has very long, detailed questions.) This book does not give you answers, but rather guides you toward which topics to study, which books to read, etc. I then easily found the answers to each topic online or at our local library. The book also gives excellent advice on how to approach the different types of standardized test questions. I had not been in an English class for 20+ years, but with this book I passed Praxis 0049 the first time with a score of 173. In association with Amazon.com | |
