This guide really helped me study for the ESOL Praxis exam -- and pass it. I studied 6 weeks, using the guide, before I took the actual test. I found the practice test in the study guide an invaluable tool. I took the practice test 5 or 6 times and each time, I scored higher. Although there were only 1 or 2 questions from the study guide on the actual test, I would highly recommend buying the guide. I did an Internet search on all the different parts of the test and structured my study around those areas. Since I've never taken a course in linguistics, that was my weakest point. The listening part of the test was really difficult for me. The CD that comes with the guide is a good representation of what to expect from the listening part of the Praxis. The way the listening part of the actual test is given does not afford you enough time. Actually the time that is given is not structured well. I think the Praxis folks need to work on a better presentation of the listening part of the test. Since it had been years since I'd filled-in a bubble sheet, the one in the study guide was helpful! I think the study guide built up my self confidence. At least I had a good idea of what to expect on the test!

Great study guide for those who intend on taking this test. Very good feedback on the back pages directing you to the areas of weakness, so you know exactly what you need to review more of!

A simplistic book with enough content to help learners prepare for the ESOL Praxis exam. Use it as a guide to gain an understanding of the types of questions to prepare for on the test.

This product is not worth the money. Praxis simply took what was on their website (including the SAME practice test) and put it into book form. Praxis was simply trying to make more money off of teachers.

I wasn't satisfied with the explanations of right answers. Another thing, in the actual test there are 120 questions and this study guide there are 90 questions.
They are recommending you to note down the challenging questions to search later, but they are not referring to the resources that you can find the answers to the "challenging questions."

This product seemed helpful for the PRAXIS II exam, with many similar questions to the actual test. We will see how effective it is when
I get my score next month! There is a helpful CD as well.

Very timely shipping and it was in perfect condition! Thank you!
