 Good study guide... June 14, 2008
I just completed the mathematics PraxisII exam and found the exam to be very straightforward and almost pathetically easy. Everything you need to know for the exam is covered in this study guide (and then some). The actual exam is slightly harder than the practice tests given in the study guide, but not drastically harder (as some reviewers here have suggested). The particular test I took had a lot more interpretation of graphs than included in the practice tests...I don't find graph interpretation difficult, so this wasn't a problem for me.
To summarize: practice tests in book are mind-numbingly easy...the actual exam itself was just a notch higher in difficulty, with a rating of "pathetically easy".
unsure May 15, 2008
read the reviews who said questions too easy which they were. my suggestion search pennsylvania & math praxis II, much better imho, my weak math opinion that is. But I did pass the exam on the 2nd try.
 It was helpful but not a true indication of what to expect April 27, 2008
Greetings everyone,
I agree with one of the previous writers. This book was helpful with preparing with some of the content covered on the exam. However, the phrasing of the questions are more straight forward than the questions on the actual test. The questions on the praxis can be wordy and purposefully unclear. You may know a subject matter quite well but the questions may make you feel as if you need to be in the mind of the writer to understand what they are asking. I too left the test unsure of how I did. I am hoping and praying for the best. Good luck and I hope this review helps.
Very good overview March 28, 2008
This book is great for a general overview on what is covered on the test. Additional resources are necessary for anything that needs to be learned or relearned.
 Useful for the practice tests, not much else February 23, 2008

This book is essentially a rehash of the freely available information about the test from the ETS website with three fairly good practice tests thrown in (in fact it has references to specific page numbers from the ETS website material on almost every page). The review portion of this book is pretty useless. The authors have taken the ETS statements of what content is tested, given brief definitions of what each of those content items is, and completely neglected to give any sample problems to illustrate how to actually do the math. If you're buying this book for anything other than the practice tests, I suggest you search elsewhere. Most egregiously, this book also fails to do one of the most important things for any test prep: explain how the test is graded and give you the ability to generate a practice score. Three tests, three answer keys, no conversion chart for a score?!?
