This book makes the OGET a lot more complicated than it really is. I did not use the OSAT portion of the book since I do no plan on teaching Elementary school. Much of the book is just a list of grammar rules you should have learned well before it comes time to take this test. Also, it neglects to mention that you do not need to memorize all of the math formulas the book reviews. All of the formulas are given to you during the test. As long as you know how to use them, you'll do fine. Most of the test focuses on basic reading comprehension, so you should definitely try to brush up on those skills. Feel free to check out this book (or the updated version) from your local library, but I would not bother paying money for it.

This is a must if you're studying for either or both of these tests. Excellent testing CD and the book has it all.

This book is helpful in that it has a full length practice test. The grammar and reading comprehension part is the most useful. It tells you to memorize or know lists of authors that is unnecessary and the math problems were not quiet up to speed. I recommend this book but in conjunction with the test study guide that the OK dept of education offers with this test. Had I not looked at that I would have missed some math questions. This book does not cover all the right kinds of math problems. It was useful but I recommend using the study guide online as well. You can print it off yourself or order it for a minimal fee.

I have been out of school for over 5 years and was very worried about taking the teaching tests. I got this study guide about a month before my exam. I studied it for about 6 hours a week and kept retaking the practice test. The book is way harder than the actual test. I passed with a 288 out of 300. This guide is great and a must have for passing the OGET.
