Unlike the other reviewers, I found this guide to be extremely helpful. Compared to others I have read, this is my favorite. I found it was very thorough in the areas that it covers and the questions that were on the practice tests were just like what was on the actual test. I learned things from this study guide that I had forgotten since middle school & high school. I passed the Praxis 1 with flying colors the first time I attempted. I know that I would not have done so well if I had not studied with this study guide! I will be using the same line of study guides to prepare for the Praxis 2.

i never write reviews, but i was so annoyed studying with this book that i just had to. there is very little explanation for wrong answers in the practice section, less than 10 practice problems in the subject reviews, and i found several mistakes in the questions/answers. don't buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked well for me., May 30, 2005

This guide worked well for me - it even had the exact essay question that was on my test. Although being fresh out of graduate school may have helped me on the exam overall, the mathematics section seemed to cover all of the areas I needed to review for the exam.

For the price and content covered, and after reviewing other PRAXIS I study guides, I would recommend this one.
