Where do I start?? There were so many things wrong with this book that I find it hard to believe it was ever reviewed by a certified audiologist let alone written by one! Answers in the answer key did not match up with some of the questions and the typographical errors were astounding!! Any audiologist that thinks ototoxicity results in a conductive hearing loss has no business practicing audiology, let alone writing a book on how to pass the Praxis exam. Needless to say I highly recommend purchasing another manual if you are at all interested in receiving correct answers to pertinent questions.

What an incredible disappointment. Typos galore, and answers that do not match up with the questions (#66-68)are just a couple reasons NOT to buy this book. Here's what you need to know about the Praxis: 150 questions, 2 hours, less than one minute per question (so manage your time), you need a scaled score of about 60% to pass...that's roughly 95 questions correct out of 150. Study your Neuro, speech science, anatomy, hearing aids. If you're desperate, get a bunch of students together and buy one copy of this book to share. What a waste of money. :(

I would rate this book 0 if I could. Just like the previous reviewer, I cannot believe how this book has not been pulled off the shelves. Majority of the answers are all wrong! It's not even about saving money... it's about destroying your confidence to take the exam. DO NOT take the practice exam. If you need to have a study guide, go to the ETS website and purchase the downloadable version of the guide or buy the book version at amazon.

Horrible. The "tips" were common sense, and so many of the practice questions were blatantly wrong. When the answers actually matched up with the questions, the "correct" answers and the explanations were highly debatable (Who would say a CROS is the best choice for a bilateral high frequency SNHL??). Don't buy this. Kay T. Payne should pay me for the time I wasted even opening this book.
