1.0 out of 5 stars Too Easy, April 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Mathematics Study Guide (Praxis Study Guides) 0061 0063 0065 (Paperback)

While this book was helpful in providing the areas you needed to know for the exam (the website for the exam provides that information for free), there is only one practice test and it is very simple - especially in comparison to the questions covered on the real exam. The study techniques were not helpful as I'd hope that whomever is taking this exam would know the strategies to taking a multiple choice mathematics test. I was very disappointed with this book. It did little in helping me to practice for the test. I would have liked to have more practice problems as they would help show how certain concepts will be asked so you can practice at breaking down the material and practice with the timing. If you want to practice completing the exam in a timely fashion, this book does not help you b/c once you take the sample test, when you take it again, of course your time will be better.

The book comprehensively covered which topics to review, however, the practice test seemed easy in comparison to the topics given for review.

The problems presented in this study guide are not as difficult as the ones you'll do on the math content knowledge test. For a practice test I'd just use the free one provided by the ets website rather than waste money on this book.
