This updated second edition of How to Prepare for the NESPA, reflects the new title of the examination (Praxis) and once again provides students and clinicians with the only test preparation manual available for this examination. Readers will find the same essential chapters that focus on test-taking skills and study strategies; however, these have been updated to reflect current information and integrate sample questions that are more similar to those they will encounter on the Praxis examination in Speech-Language Pathology.

2.0 out of 5 stars Almost...but not quite, September 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Prepare for the Praxis Examination in Speech-Language Pathology (Paperback)

While this book addresses all of the cognitive processes needed to take the test, as well as the types of questions the Praxis test MAY have, I found the typographical errors and editing oversights to be distracting. Particularly frustrating examples of this occurred in answer key to the sample test. As I was reviewing, I found that the explanations of some correct answers did not correspond with the letter given as correct. It made me question how many of the others that I did NOT scrutinize, had the same problem. While the book provides insight into the construction of the Praxis test itself, which was helpful, in the end, I did not feel that it boosted my confidence in my preparedness in any way.

This book had some good aspects about it (practice questions, info about taking the test). However I don't feel like it prepared me at all to take the test, so quite frankly it wasn't worth the money. Your best bet is to review a little bit of everything you learned in grad school & if your program prepared you enough you'll pass. Good luck

This review is from: How to Prepare for the Praxis Examination in Speech-Language Pathology (Paperback)

i began reviewing for the praxis with this book. I like how the author prepares you for the format of questions but some questions weren't as helpful. There aren't explanations for many of the answers so with topics that are more controversial, it's easy to disagree with what the author said was a best answer. It's a little disconcerting when you wind up flipping through all your texts trying to understand why she's right or prove her wrong. you just want to know. I recommend the big blue book for short and sweet information. it's easy to pick out what you need to go back and study more in depth by using their review chapters and end of chapter questions.
