1.0 out of 5 stars This Book is Terrible!!!, October 24, 2005

By	J. West (Maine) - See all my reviews

In studying for the Praxis I test, I have found many typos in this book as well as numerous incorrect answers. I have spent a great deal of my "study time" researching answers that are incorrect in the book.

I was told that these test prep books are all the same and that one book is just as good as any other. I sure hope not. I definitely would not recommend this study guide to anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good study guide for Praxis II, January 17, 2005

By	Book Crazy (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this book because of the rave reviews as a great study guide for the Praxis II. In reality, it only prepares you for the type of information on the Praxis I, and there is very little info on the Praxis II. Although I know the book is titled Praxis I and II, I was disappointed with the uneven coverage of BOTH tests. I would buy the books from ETS instead of this one, and I have and they are MUCH more helpful.
