 Badly Organized and refers to non-existent chapters September 24, 2008
I was very disappointed with this book after reading the online reviews. Right from the introduction, the book refers to "Chapters" that are not in the book or are un-referenced, making,in my opinion, most of the book unusable. "For a preview of a case history/constructed response question, turn to Chapter 5. For a preview of the multiple choice questions, turn to Chapter 6." Chapter 5 and 6 of what? There ARE no chapters in this book! What is she talking about here??? Seems like a PhD author would know at least the basics of how to treat chapter references.
 The only book I needed! August 16, 2008
This is the only book I used while studying for the Praxis II: PLT, and I won the ETS Recognition of Excellence Award. It is very thorough and has good review of the materials and numerous practice tests. I highly recommend it.
 A helpful book, but the tests are too easy August 10, 2008
Having now taken my Praxis II exam, I have to say that this book prepared me for the multiple choice mostly. The practice case studies in the book are too easy. The scenarios they give are farily basic and the questions are straight forward. On the actual test, things were a little more in depth. I liked the book, but I just fet like it had me a little over confident. Use this book, but check out some other materials too.
Great review book July 27, 2008
This study guide was an excellent way to prepare for both the content and format of the Praxis PLT. I used it for Grades 7-12 and had no trouble passing it. I have not taken any college level education courses in over 20 years, so the information in this guide was crucial for me in reviewing current issues and "buzz" words in education today. I highly recommend this book for anyone trying to prepare for the Praxis PLT.
I passed!!! April 26, 2008
Easy to read and VERY INFORMATIVE. I wish I would have know about this book earlier.
