Great study guide! - I would recommend this book for anyone taking the Praxis I. I had not had a math class in years so I really needed a refresher. This book provided problems and detailed explanations. I actually did better on the math section than any other section. The practice tests are very useful and are almost identical to the actual test. The Praxis II section only provides an overview of each section and a few practice questions. Overall, a great value.

Praxis Series official Guide - The best study guide!!!! - I bought the Praxis series official guide by ETS to study for the Praxis I. I have been out of college for several years and wished to refresh on the basics. After taking the Praxis I the first time (I took the computerized version) I realized how wonderful this study guide was. I was able to pass all three sections the first time. This study guide was a huge help. I would strongly recommend everyone who is taking the Praxis I to buy this as their study guide. My advice: watch your TIME!! Practice the test with a timer, espically the essay! I ran out of time and didn't have time to edit or proofread mine. Best of Luck.

Well worth the purchase. - This book it is very helpful in preparing you for Praxis I. I took the computer-based Praxis I yesterday. It had been over 10 years since I had a standardized test. I was concerned that I would not do well. I worked through the review problems and the practice tests. I am happy to report that I scored 12 points higher than required on reading and 8 points higher on math. When I receive my writing score in a few weeks, I will update this review with the margin of success. I am sure that I've earned a score that exceeds the requirement on the writing portion and therefore will have passed the Praxis.
It is important to note that this book WILL NOT be useful when preparing for Praxis II. It mentions the various Praxis II tests briefly. You will need another publication to help prepare for your specific Praxis II exam.

Very Helpful - I found this book very helpful in preparing for the PRAXIS I exam. I have not yet taken the other PRAXIS exams but expect it to be helpful for them as well.

Praxis Review - This is an excellent preparation text for the PRAXIS test. Students can work on test like items and work on their reading rate as well.

I hieghly recommend this book for those preparing students for the test.
