2.0 out of 5 stars Are you going to take every Praxis examination?, June 23, 1999

This review is from: How to Prepare for PRAXIS with CD; NTE, PLT, PPST-CBT and Subject Assessments (Paperback)

This is a good reference book for general idea of all of the teacher examinations. But if you are going to take only a few specific examinations such as Praxis II mathematics, you are buying a lot of unnecessary material. For example, the CD ROM had nothing that I needed on it.

I am returning the book and CD Rom and going to purchase material that is specific to the examinations that I am taking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the PPST and the PLT, November 22, 2000

This review is from: How to Prepare for PRAXIS with CD; NTE, PLT, PPST-CBT and Subject Assessments (Paperback)

I am writing this review because I think this book deserves an excellent rating. I used this book to prepare for a few tests. The practice PLT in the book was just like the test that I took this Saturday. The practice PPST in this book was just like the PPST that I took in September. Every answer to the practice PPST and the practice PLT was explained.

The PPST review was excellent and the PLT review was very good. I want to get certified in a few states so I liked the teacher certification information in the book. There are brief descriptions and a few sample questions for most of the Subject Assessments. I would not buy the book just to prepare for these subjevct assessments. But there is very little review available for most Subject Assessments, and it was nice to get some extra help in a PPST/PLT book. The answers to Subject Assessment practice questions are not explained.

Becoming a teacher means a lot of testing and I learned a lot about the Praxis tests and books during the last six months. The tests have changed a lot and I want to share some of what I learned. I hope it helps. The Core Battery Tests are no longer given. This Praxis book and the PPST books are still good. But most of the NTE books are obsolete. Don't waste your money on books that just prepare you for the Core Battery Test.

Most of the ETS Subject Assessment books are for the old tests that are not given any more. If you get a book from ETS be sure the test is still given.

I recommend this Praxis book for anyone who has to take the PPST or the PLT. If you are going to take the CBT, I hear the Barrons Praxis I book is best because it has good review and a practice CBT.

If you are going to take the Subject Assessment mathematics test, I hear that the ETS Mathematics Review Kit is good for practice test questions. My professor told me there is not much for the other Subject Assessments. Good luck.

5.0 out of 5 stars A PRAXIS Masterpiece, February 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Prepare for PRAXIS with CD; NTE, PLT, PPST-CBT and Subject Assessments (Paperback)

I've been helping college students prepare for PRAXIS and NTE tests for years. This new edition is simply the very best book available.

The review is very clear and helpful. The practice tests are right on target. This is the only book with effective preparation for the PLT.

My students appreciate the extra help this book gives about becoming certified as a teacher, about writing a resume, and about finding a teaching position.

I recommend this book to every student who will take a Praxis test.
