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.

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.

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.

This book was very helpful in the prep for the state required PPR exam. It is an easy read and gives great tips on test taking. It also has practice test in the back of the book! I am very glad I purchased this book.

This book was very useful when studying for my PPR state exam. I liked that it provides a sample exam at the end. Would really recommend this book for someone preparing for this exam.

I have looked at this book several times, and it is pretty detailed and helpful. I haven't finished studying for the test yet for lack of time. I think it is going to help me quite a bit, because it is also repetitive, which in this cas is good.
