3.0 out of 5 stars It's okay, June 12, 2007

By	blued79 (Virginia) - See all my reviews

I am so glad I did not rely solely on this book to study for the PRAXIS in Math and Writing. The math section is really good. I especially liked the CD because it gave me a feel for the real exam (I took the CPPST version). The "cheat sheet" was helpful because all the information needed was in one page. However, this book did not do it for me in the Writing section. The book did not cover a lot of areas found in the exam. If you really want to pass the PPST, you're better off buying Barron's How to Prepare for PRAXIS book. That book has more info and covers a lot more subjects. Other than that, I give Exam Cram 3 stars.
