I have been waiting to take my exam to rate this book, and I just took it this morning. The practice tests that come with the book are very helpful because the questions on the exam are similar in style- and this exam is tricky MOSTLY because of the style, You will fail miserably if you don't study and you won't even know why LOL. They designed this test to really challenge individuals. I do recommend the book. I passed my test and only used this as study material, but I studied for many hours and took the practice tests in the back of the book over 10 times. Also, don't expect to see the same questions on the test because you won't even find one. I studied backwards, from the front to the back- taking first the tests, and then reading the chapters- but whatever works for you! Good luck to everybody!p.s.Whichever choice of answers fosters student learning, and critical/creative thinking is the answer.
I passed the test with it, and that's all I used, so 5 stars. I was already familiar with some of the subject matter though, so your mileage may vary. Good info organization, and the 2 questionnaires are very useful practice because they're hard enough and close enough to the test format.
The book was a good overall guide but I found the exam questions to be far more difficult than the sample exams. There was a lot of vocabulary in the exam that was never mentioned in the book like guided imagery and other reading terms. Also some questions had to do with topics that were briefly defined in the book but not in enough detail like to answer the question, for example BICS and CALP. I'm not sure what would be a better guide but for me this was just okay. Just glad that I could get the Kindle version and that I passed the exam.
awesome book! It teaches you more than you need to know but the questions are similar and you walk out of the test with a pass and that's all we all want right?So definitely worth the money (also the paperback was awesome so I could scribble all over it!)
I most definitely recommend this book as a study guide for the Professional Education exam. I took the exam without any study materials and failed, and then I bought this book, read through it twice, and passed the second time with flying colors. Great study guide!
I took the test on 7/13 and passed! This was the only book I studied and, to me, the practice tests were harder than the actual test. There are common sense questions, but the test is heavily situation-based. You can easily eliminate two answers right off the bat on almost every question. I was scared to death to take this test, because everyone said "This test is so hard. They changed it and it is no longer common sense." I found the test to be easy, but it could be because I have been teaching for a year and a lot of my knowledge came first-hand. Good luck!
So far, this book has worked out really well. It is clear and easy to study. I'm using the Kindle version; it's cheaper and I didn't have to wait for shipping. I have the test this coming Tuesday, so I'm hoping that the studying will pay off.
I just took the Professional Education Test and purchased this book as a back up to one of the classes I took in preparation for my Professional Education Exam. First off, I absolutely loved how realistic the practice tests were in regards to the way the test was set up. I also really enjoyed that once I took the practice tests the answer key had the different competencies so I was able to see how many competencies I needed to go back into the book to review.I am not saying that this is the only source that you should view to study, for instance I took a course online and I also reviewed the study questions on the Florida DOE website, but it is a wonderful reinforcement of the information I learned and it was an essential tool in helping me with the vocabulary demands of the exam as well as the concepts that needed to be covered (code of ethics, etc).Overall, I definitely recommend this book and good luck to all of you that are taking this exam :)
