Too general,

This review is from: English Language, Literature, and Composition: Content Knowledge Study Guide (Praxis Study Guides) (Paperback)
I purchased this book hoping I would get a detailed list of test items, however I only got a general list of items that you may see on the test. It also came with one full length test that gives you an idea of the testing format and questions that may be asked. I was disappointed that there were not enough specifics. I would recommend you get a student high school literature book and following the content in that book. You would be better off. Stick to the test at a glance on the Praxis website. It gives the same information for free without the full length test.

I agree with K. Sylvester. This book is really a waste of money and not half as informative as other practice books that are around the same price (or cheaper!) and have many more practice exams/questions. ETS is banking on the fact that people are going to spend extra cash on a book by the test creators; aren't they already making a killing on the tests themselves? I was quite disappointed when I received the book; I figured a book from the test creator would be the best choice. Not the case. There is no scoring guide for the practice test, either, which I find quite frustrating because I have no idea how well I will do based on the sample test. I feel I did pretty well on it, but the scoring for the Praxis is very confusing and no ETS website seems to provide any insight into the scoring process, except for analyzing scores once you get them back. Very general and non-specific. I do not recommend ETS sponsored publications, unfortunately. I bought guides for all three tests I have to take and they are all very vague. Thanks, but no thanks.

I just took this test on Saturday, and let me tell you I was extremely let down. I thought buying this book would be the greatest thing since sliced bread and it would be so helpful in my studying, etc. Well, it fails to let you know that one third of the actual Praxis II exam has to do with diagramming sentences and syntax. I know how to write a simple sentence, but I don't remember what a gerund is and where to put the adverb in a sentence when I am under pressure. The practice test in the book focuses mostly on what you have read and how well you can recognize writing styles. I was completely unprepared for the grammar section and it left me feeling like I failed. If you're really worried about the reading list I suggest picking up the Praxis book for the composition part of the test, which was much more helpful than this waste of $20.
