Customer Reviews

Excellent and Thorough Review
This book is very well organized, gives the student/teacher plenty of practice tests, and provides a thorough review. It was the third test-prep. item I purchased. I only wish it would have been the first, as I would have needed to look no further!

Great test review book for content summary
I bought this book to prepare for the Praxis PLT 7-12 and found it extremely helpful. The content review section is extremely thorough and covers all of the material you need to know for the exam in a concise and organized manner. It made it easy and accessible to find info about different educational theorist rather than searching through a psych of teaching textbook. The review questions are also helpful and good for praxis. Definately, worth the buy if you need a review book!

Helpful!
I used this book to study for the 0041 and 0042 exams. I found the guide more accurate in predicting what types of questions would be on the 0042 exam than on the 0041. I found the 0041 exam questions to be more difficult than the sample questions in the book, but the book served as a good starting point for studying. If you're taking the 0041 exam, study the time periods religiously! This is probably the best guide out there that is not more expensive than the exam itself.

I ended up passing both exams with excellent scores!
