It is very good for reviews and for people who have experience, already, with that information, if you don't have experience or you are a beginner some other books, materials might be necessary. It was useful, I passed with no problem, but be aware that it is not so well done, the information inside is not so well organized, they tried but some things are mixt up, or reapeted under different chapters. I used it for my praxis 7-12 exam. Lucky me, I have a very good college preparation so the book was just for review.
The book is in great condition and it came in a decent amount of time.
This is an aside from the review of the book, but a word to test takers, Im a Marine, and my philosophy on education is that of high expectations, accountability, responsibility, and structure. I used this book to study for the PLT and I probably studied it through and through for about two weeks prior to the test. The test prep book is good on a whole, but be wary of how you respond I think my responses didn't jive with the popular philosophy of education of the times. On the test day, I thought I blew the test out of the water, come to find however, I barely passed. However, I dont blame the review book on this, I personally believe the test is too sugjective and the graders are biased.
I used the book to make my own flash cards for the content knowledge as well. I just found out I passed both the content knowledge and the PLT, with great scores. My biggest piece of advice is to practice writing, writing and more writing in the time period allowed. I have been very impressed with the quality of the Cliff's Praxis reviews, for both I and II. I really felt very well prepared by reading this book and working through the case studies.
It's one of the main tools I use to study for the test. A well organized book with plenty of practice tests.
