 There are better out there September 20, 2007

I graduated years ago and moving to Ohio made me get the Ohio license so I bought this book to refresh mi mind. I did not find it too helpful because is only guidelines of what you have to study from other resources. Enough said I did not pass the test.
 Passed with Excellence, but this book offered minimal help. July 15, 2006

I bought this book thinking that it would help me study the material on the PLT, but it is only summary of the topics the test covers. It is meant to be used as a guide to show a test-taker what to study from textbooks and other sources.
I did not use this book much in my preparation. I discovered that the online PLT guide from the PRAXIS website and a PRAXIS PLT Review powerpoint presentation I found online were just the things I needed to study for the test.
This book does have information about the PLT format and sample questions. However, the PRAXIS website and the other PLT review I found online contain just as much information about the test format and the topics covered. If you need or want practice questions in addition to what the PRAXIS website offers, this book is for you.
My biggest asset on the exam was my experience. On the writing portions of the test, I was able to answer the questions using situations from personal experience of just over a year in the classroom. I passed and received a certificate of excellence for my score. This book was a good guide to have, but there are other resources available free of charge, any experience in the classroom will give you an advantage on the test.
 PASSED TEST!!! March 19, 2006

This book has an outline of the informantion that you will need on the test. This way you are not studying topics that are not on the test and wasting valuable study time. It also shows the format of the test, sample questions, answers, and grading. All of the information that is on the test is not in this book, but was easily found on the internet. It is a great guide to know what to study for.
 Useful...if you follow the directions August 27, 2005

This book is very useful, but keep this in mind: it does not actually contain many useful facts. It is an outline of what to study and several useful tips on how to study it. Besides this book you will need a source of information on teaching theory. Your college textbooks work nicely, as does a well-stocked library.
With this in mind, I would recommend this book to anyone taking the Praxis tests.
