1.0 out of 5 stars
Impractical information, April 19, 2009
This review is from: TExES PPR (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the Texas Examinations of Educator Stds (Test Preps) (Paperback)
This study guide is well-written, and it does contain four practice-length tests. The review material, however, is not very useful. Instead, it is representative of philosophical sounding "ed-talk," and it will not help you answer the practice questions provided by the ETS website. In the technology section, the authors advise you not to type overheads on typewriters, and they refer to e-mail as "electronic mail." Though published in 2009, this material has clearly not been updated in a long time.

Great book, despite the flaws., March 6, 2011
This review is from: TExES PPR (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the Texas Examinations of Educator Stds (Test Preps) (Paperback)
I read the whole book, cover to cover and took all four of the practce tests, as well as read through the manual and took the practice test on the ETS website. I read the information over the course of 10 days. I only missed four questions on the test and got a 291. Now, please know that I am also a teacher with 11 years experience, so that really helped also. My advice is to take ALL of those tests in the back of the book, and know that they are harder than the real test. I only scored about 82% on them. Make sure that you go over the question twice on the real exam, and look very closely and think about all options. Good luck! I liked the book and will actually keep it as a reference tool. Yes, definitely some typos and out-dated infrmation, but it won't keep you from passing.

Useful study material, May 5, 2010
This review is from: TExES PPR (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the Texas Examinations of Educator Stds (Test Preps) (Paperback)
I found this book to be very helpful and full of useful material. I read the competency descriptions over a period of a few weeks and then I took the practice tests 2 days before my actual test. I found the types of questions to be more similar to the actual test than the other review book that I had purchased.
