Summary: Another Great Barron's Production
Review: I have had the pleasure of using books in the Barron's series for the GRE, SAT, PPST, and Praxis exams. I also use Barron's GED book in the GED test prep class that I teach. I highly recommend all of the Barron's books, especially this one. This book helped me and my wife raise out PRAXIS scores greatly. The book is very clearly written, helpful in all areas (not just elementary education), and is easily the best book in the field. While there is no "Money Back Guarantee" for the book, this book will not let you down. On that note, none of the Barron's books will let you down. This is the best book on the market for the money!

Summary: This Book Saved Me!
Review: I haven't taken a math class in 15 years, but passed with a 184 (top 25 percent) because I studied from this book every day for more than a month (you do have to study for an hour a day or so). It is such a relief not to have to take the test a second time!

Summary: What Was Missing
Review: I just took the Praxis test and although this book was helpful, it put emphasis on trivial parts of the test and wasn't thorough enough on others. For example, the book was not specific to any test. It was difficult to figure out what you needed to study for the 0014 test. I studied dance, music and art which wasn't on the test. The social studies section on the test was extremely specific. The book suggested that if you just "looked over" that section, you would be in good shape. The math in the book is thorough and tedious but the test questions were a piece of cake in comparison. In short, the book was helpful but definitely needs to be be more specific about what is required for each test and concentrate on each of the four core areas.

Summary: Disapointment
Review: I only used this book to prepare for the Elementary Ed Content Knowledge test, and it was beyond useless for it. I took the practice tests and got pretty upset because I wasn't able to get more than half the questions right in each of the sections. However, I just got my scores back, and not only did I pass but I scored above average. The practice tests are in a format that is not exactly like the test, the questions are poorly writen, and they cover areas that are not covered on the real test. If you are looking to prepare for the Elementary ed Content Knowledge test, don't waste your time with this book.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I owe a lot to this book. It helped me score high on the PPST and then on the Elementary Education 0011 test. The practice tests in the book were just like the real tests. The PPST review and practice, and the explained answers to the Elem Ed test were very helpful. My biggest problem for the PPST was math. This book has an excellent math review with lots of practice problems. The other amazing thing is how much you get for your money. The book is excellent for the PPST and the 0011 test and it is a really super value.

Summary: 0014 Practice Test worth the cost of the book
Review: I took the Elementary Content Knowledge Praxis (0014) and used this book as a study guide. There is only one practice test in this book, but it is good prep for this exam. The format is very similar to the actual exam. If you study the content of the practice test, you should do fine on the real exam (in other words, the questions are not the same, but the subject is very similar.)
Good luck!

Summary: Very Helpful Book
Review: I used the book for the PLT section of the test and it proved to be very usefull. Unfortunately, it did not cover the music section of the test which was required for my certification (0113). If you are looking for one of the other sections it did cover those.
The book, in general, is very thorough and even has a small section on how to find a job and for writing a resumee.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I used this book to prepare for the Elementary Education Subject Assessment (10011). The complete practice test and explained answers in this book are a wonderful resource and much better than the book from the test publisher.
This book delivers exactly what it says it will deliver. But the information posted by Amazon is out of date..... If you want the book for a secondary Subject Assessment you may want to go to a store so you can see exactly which tests are covered. Excellent book. There is so much here that is so helpful for such a reasonable price.

Summary: The Best Book ¿ The Best Value
Review: I've been helping college students prepare for PRAXIS tests for many years. This third edition is the very best, and the most cost effective preparation for Praxis tests. There is a complete, updated, PPST mathematics, reading and writing review with hundreds of practice questions. There are two realistic practice PPSTs with fully explained answers. If you are taking the computerized PPST, or you are JUST taking the PPST, I recommend Barron's How to Prepare for Praxis I. The revised PLT section has a thorough review, and a realistic practice test with fully explained answers, along with a review quiz and extra targeted questions. The Listening section reflects the new test with a realistic practice listening test and explained answers. The all-new Elementary Education sections feature full-length Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, and Content Knowledge tests. Each test has extensive answer explanations. There is also a full length Content Area Exercises test with useful examples of constructed response answers. The overview of other subject assessments describes many secondary assessments and gives between ten and twenty questions, without answer explanations, for each area. This is just a partial overview, and you should not get the book JUST for this section. My students like it because it is an additional source of often scarce sample questions for these tests. My students appreciate the multiple choice and constructed response test strategies, the extra help about required state test scores, becoming certified as a teacher, writing a resume, and finding a teaching position. I recommend this book to every student who will take a Praxis test.

Summary: not challenging enough
Review: If you want to take PRAXIS I, this book can be a basic introductory guide but not a suitable book for passing the tests.
The pratices and the tests in this book about PRAXIS I are too easy. You may not know your real capability is good or not enough to pass the real test through reading this book.
