Sciences: Content Knowledge Study Guide (Praxis Study Guides) 
asked by rob33 on November 4, 2006 5:44 PM
Complete with a targeted review of all the material on the selected Praxis exam in addition to a full-length practice test, these test preparation guides are written by the makers of the real tests. Thorough explanations of the answers are provided and helpful test-taking strategies are found throughout the guide. The three categories of assessments covered correspond to the three milestones in teacher development-academic skills assessment, subject assessment, and classroom performance assessment. Reflecting the rigorous and carefully validated nature of the exams, these guides provide beginning teachers the information needed to succeed.

I found this book to be very helpful as a prep for the Praxis exam. The practice exam questions point you directly to those topics covered on the test, so you won't waste time studying topics that won't be on the test. Also, the practice test is a little more difficult than the actual exam, so if you master these 75 questions,you will do well on the test. Now, if they only had a book for the chemistry essay test!!!

I purchased this thinking that I could use it to review the sciences. THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR REVIEWING THE SCIENCES! All it gives are topics that should be studied and practice tests for the various areas. I was disappointed. So instead I checked out a book called 'Chemistry the Easy Way' from the library and used it to review the chemistry material. That book was much better for reviewing the material and it had 5 practice tests that were a little more difficult than the Praxis. They also have the same books in the different science areas.

For the chemistry & physics exams, this book was an acceptable review of content knowledge. If you can answer each of the 75 questions, you'll pass the exams. The review of middle school science was comprehensive (i.e., the review was harder than the actual test). Well worth the discount/wholesale price! js

This book does exactly what it claims to do. It summarizes the topics that will be covered on the tests, and provides practice tests. It is not a review text and does not claim to be. I found this book to be extremely helpful. I used college texts and Wikipedia to review those topics I needed to brush up on and did very well on the tests themselves. Thanks to this book the tests had no surprises (including the Biology 0235 exam.)

Did not reflect subject material for Biology 0235 exam accurately. Topics were also too general as well.
My advice use a Bio.1 study guide rather than this book.
