1.0 out of 5 stars The list of errors and typos, August 11, 2009

By

This review is from: CliffsNotes Praxis II: Elementary Education (0011, 0012, 0014) (CliffsNotes AP) (Paperback)

Hi Guys - some sections of this guide offered a good consolidated overview of topics (history, language arts, science) - but the errors in the math section offset the value a lot. (Also - I was shocked at how little overlap there was between the actual exam I took and the material in the study guide. You'll need to review other guides in addition to this one).

Here is a list of errors (at least the ones I noted):

1. Page 96 - Sphere formula incorrect (should be 'r-cubed', not 'r-squared').

2. Page 99 - See "Therefore, the probability of rolling a 3 is 1:6 or 1/6 or 1 to 6 or .6..." - the reference to '.6' is incorrect and should be '.1666'.

3. Page 89 - Slope formula is incorrect (should be: 'x2 - x1' in the denominator instead of 'y2 - y1'.

4. Page 103 - #1 (Mean...), line 2 '70' is incorrect and should be '75'.

5. Page 175 - sublimation starts from a 'solid', not a 'liquid'.

6. Page 216 and 217 - #118 - Correct answer ('120') is not listed as a choice. (See also page 226 for related calculation error).

6.a. - Page 226 - #118 - denominator value incorrect (7! does not equal '1008', it equals '5040').

7. Page 217 - #74 - typo - answer is 'B' (as indicated in solutions on page 223), not 'A' as referenced on pg 217.

Good luck on your exam!

I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with this book, maybe a couple of hours for review, after all it is just a content knowledge test. The test covers k-6 knowledge so I didn't think I would have to spend too much time studying. It is very good book for reviewing this basic knowledge. There were a couple of questions that were on the practice test in the book that were on the actual Praxis test, so I was grateful. And regretful that I didn't read it more.
