1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money, April 12, 2007

By	Katy Star - See all my reviews

Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to the other customer reviews and bought this book. Here is what I found: The skills/competencies do not match those specified by the Florida Department of Education in the third edition of its Test Preparation Guide. The long rambling passages in the book are not concise and ramble on and on--not focusing on what the test-taker needs to know. I took the test today and realized that the sample questions in the book are not very representative of the sample questions on the test.

1.0 out of 5 stars What ever you do don't buy this product or anything from XAM, February 21, 2007

By	Chad Abbs "Etowntec" (St Pete, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was by far the worst study guide that I have ever purchased. The book was full of errors both of basic english and of factual nature. On top of that when taking the test the answer key does not match up with the questions. So the answer key and the section detailing the answers to each of the questions are different. On top of that most of the questions that were asked in the practice test were never even mentioned in the study guide itself. So out of that taking the test made no difference if I read the book or not because the information was not even included with in it. This book has caused me to start back at the beginning of all my studying. I feel that this company is not up to their own standards of "Higher Quality Study Guides, Higher Quality Teachers" The writers of this guide and most likely the rest of their guides need to go back to school themselves and learn the facts and how to write. So out of all this what ever you do save your money and do not by this or any other study guides from XAM.

1.0 out of 5 stars FTCE Social Science 6-12 study guide, January 12, 2008

By	John P. Corral "Mayra" (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Absolutely not worth the $55.00 I paid for this book. The actual test did not cover any of the material in the book. This company needs to re-evaluate the content use to prepare one for the test. It was absolutely worthless.
