If you have the AEPA in your future this book will not help you at all, and it should not even be listed on the cover of this book! The book also provides a description of the test layout that is completely inaccurate.
Other things that bothered me with this study guide were the constant misspelling of words and disorganized sentences. Some sentences either contain words that aren't supposed to be there, or important words are left out leaving you guessing.

This text holds a wealth of information to help in prepartion for a variety of state teacher liscensing exams. It includes information from all content areas including science, math, social studies and English. Practice exercises were included which mimicked the test's format.

Book was great for studying Math, English, Science,and History sections. I never learned American history, but I was able to get everything I needed from this book.
My only complaint is that the information provided for the Child Development area wasn't in-depth enough. It covered the basics, but didn't focus on enough theorists. Luckily I was a psychology major, and was able go to my psch books for info.
One recommendation is start studying early. There is a lot of information to cover and you don't want to start cramming the week before the exam...like we did :-)

Still passed though!

I recently used this manual to prepare for taking the Praxis II in Elementary Education. It proved to be a thorough, well-written document that explained the 5W's in all subject areas. It was developed in such detail on every subject that it could be classified as a reference or training document. No manual/study guide begins to compare with this total package. I used this manual along with the knowledge requirements specified by ETS. It is very comprehensive. This document is so detailed, you must give yourself plenty of time to cover it. The effort will have you well prepared to pass your exam. Do not study for the exam without this book!

Just took the OSAT subtest one and this book will NOT help you! It's full of great information, but not information thats on the test! Save your money and download the free review from the registration website. This book doesn't match the competencies on the test.

Excellent and detailed information for studying for the content exam. The math section was far more detailed than the actual test, but it made the test that much easier to do well on. Give yourself at least a few weeks to study though because there is a LOT of information that is covered in this book. It is well worth the money!!

Not really what I was looking for.
