I've read the 2001 edition, not this newest one. But if you need a hard-core history review, this is still probably NOT the book for you. However, if you'd like more information about what test 10081 of the Praxis II series actually covers, then read this book. Technically, you don't really need to buy a copy if you can get a library to do an interlibrary loan for you since all you need to do is flip through the chapters on what the test covers and make some notes on what you need to review. The best part of the book, though, is the sample test. The one in the 2001 edition is 117 questions long (the real test is 130). Otherwise, this book is a big list of what to study, not an actual history textbook.

Don't buy this book if you need a histroy review. It only contains an outline and a sample test. The book states that a person taking this section of the Praxis should buy some history text books. I should have done that instead of wasting my money on this worthless book!

Not real impressed with the book, but it is a required text for a staff development class. Do not pay $95 for this book! If, like me,you have to buy the book, go to the ETS website and order it for $30.

This book is amazing! I fluncked the test the first time I took, so I decided to buy the book. The aced the praxis after studying this book. It has over 100 test questions and some a very similiar on the test, and it tells you what material will be on the test so you can study it. Do Not take the test without looking through this book. $115 is too much to spend twice!
