Product Description

Successfully completing the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) exam is the typical requirement for licensed practice and employment as a psychologist in public education. Until now, most graduate students and other professionals relied only on informal study guides or information provided by the test publisher (Praxis). Although students need to utilize informal study guides, this insider's book is essential for effective preparation. Most important, the School Psychology Licensure Exam Guide is one of the very few publications to provide a complete practice test! In addition to a mock quiz with highly similar test items, this guide provides a thorough review of key concepts, theories and advice. If you plan on becoming a school psychologist and taking the NASP exam, then the School Psychology Licensure Exam Guide is a necessity.

YOU NEED THIS BOOK TO PASS!
Folks, the ETS book only goes so far... This guide is direct and practical.
You will find out exactly where you are weakest in knowledge so that your studying can be most directed.

I exceeded the NASP passing score AND the national average on my first try at the praxis 400 exam- using this book as my 'Bible'

(and I am "only" a Specialist level sch. psych.)
:o)

This is a bargain book and well worth it.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

it worked
i used this book and passed with a 720. it's straightforward, and the practice test was useful -- i recognized several questions on the actual exam from the practice test. my one complaint is that the peter thompson did not include explanations for some of the more ambiguous questions.

also, although thompson recommended going to outside resources to expand on his suggested topics, i just put the provided study outline onto flashcards and studied from those; i didn't have time to go through my grad notes and textbooks. i also bought the new edition of ethics and law for school psychologists and studied from that. hope this helps; good luck!! :)

I passed
I read the book and passed with a 710. The only minor criticism I have is that the practice test has four choices per question and the real test has 5 choices. On the real test, out of the 5 choices, there are TWO GOOD options for each question, so when I left the test, I had absolutely no idea if I passed or totally tanked. I am very, very glad I had the book. I didn't think that the information in the book was dated (as another reviewer commented.) I took the exam in June 2005. GOOD LUCK to you all!
