GOOD I didn't go through it all the way yet. But as soon as I started, I like it very much. It explains very well. I'm glad I got this one.
PPST Prep I am preparing for the Praxis I test. What I have studied so far has been very informative. The book came quickly and in excellent condition.
Average Review, Missing Key Part The book is a good study guide, and I have no major complaints. However, when trying to score your practice test, it does not help convert your raw score to the PRAXIS score scale (individual to each state). I ended up buying "The Praxis Series Official Guide (Official Guide to the Praxis)" by ETS in order to prepare properly; it also has practice exams, and it helps convert the scores.
It worked for me After reading many reviews of some of the most popular study guides for the PPST, I choose Dr. Postman's book primarily because it specifically has a section pertaining to the computerized PPST. Since I did not use any other study guide I cannot make any valid comparisions to the other study guides available. However, since it has been almost 30 years since I was in high school, I felt a strong urge to brush up on some basic skills in math and writing. So, on this basis I decided to purchase Dr. Postman's study guide. I found it to be sufficient enough material for my needs. The bottom line is that I passed all three sections of the PPST, with scores well above what the state requires. On this basis I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend this study guide.
Praxis I Review I like the writing assessments they have....however, the book doesn't have enough sample tests! I still had to go via other sources to get more practice! Naviagation of the book is diffcult with respect to self-assessment and if you can determine the proability of how well you will perform on the Praxis Level One Exam. I would have liked an additional software program or CD-ROM with multiple tests. Like Stanely Kaplan...where it actually tells you your weakness and what you concentration of study should be!
