5.0 out of 5 stars This is the BEST book for preparing for the Praxis!, November 12, 2003

This review is from: Praxis PPST Study Guide 0710 0720 0730 5710 5720 5730 (Paperback)

I had looked at several Praxis/PPST review books. I ended up getting this one because it is written by ETS, the folks that make the test. I figured they of all people would know what sorts of questions would be on the test and what I should study! The book is clear, informative, and concise. You won't waste your time studying unnecessary information. It also includes a complete practice test and information on taking the test by computer. I took the computerized PPST today and got a GREAT score, way above the passing score required by my state board of education. I highly recommend this book!

I used this book along with one other prep manual(Cliffs)and I passed the test on my first try. This book does not give much practice material. The reading, math and writing sections are glossed over. I would not call this book an exclusive prep book. It contains only one practice test. The questions that are given are from an actual old praxis test. So you will get a general idea of what a real test will look like. Another perk this book offers is a complete list of essay topics. My actual essay topic was listed in this book. Even though it is not packed with test prep information, I would still purchase it for the essay topics and old practice exam.

This review is from: Praxis PPST Study Guide 0710 0720 0730 5710 5720 5730 (Paperback)

Since this book is published by the makers of the PPST, anyone taking this test needs to buy this book simply because it contains an actual old exam. I found that this exam was very similar to the actual PPST I took, and my score on the practice exam was a good indicator of my score on the real exam. However, this book is not good if you need a thorough review of the material. It skims over things and does not go into too much detail. I needed a lot of math review and this book did not help too much with that. I also bought the Barron's book and thought that one was great for the review but mediocre on the practice tests (that one did have 3 though and this book only has one, but it is an actual old exam). So if you are taking the PPST definitely buy this book but also buy a good one for a review. For that I would recommend Barrons. I got a 186 on the math and 184 on the reading and am still waiting for the writing. I owe my good scores to these two books.
