I am a math tutor and have been helping several students prepare for this exam. They all have this book. It is by far the worst exam prep book I have encountered. Is it positively littered with errors. Errors in the questions, errors in the answers, errors in the explanations. There are typos, grammar and spelling errors, and mathematical errors. And then there are the horribly worded questions. I had started to make a list of the errors I found in the book but there were so many I had to stop. It's really as if this book totally missed the editing process. I have always liked Barron's exam prep books in the past-SATs, SSATs, ACT, etc, but after my experience with this one, I will never buy another Barron's test prep book again.
Second Review CommentsI had to change my star rating. I have now used a different study book and found that the reading comprehension in this book is lacking. I also took the Core 1 math test and found several more errors. I hate to give a bad review, but this book is meant people who want help getting the correct answer and it fails because it gives you incorrect or vague answers.First Review CommentsI finished the "targeted math test" and found errors on questions 39, 51, & 54. I found a couple errors before this test but did not write them down. I like the book overall, but these errors are not acceptable in this type of book. I would still recommend the book because the delivery and substance are well written and correct; the editor needed to do more review of the test material.
This Praxis CORE book definitely worked for me. Now is a chance to be a writer so let me give you my thoughts. The Reading, English-Writing and Math reviews have plenty of examples, practice questions and answers with ways individualize your prep and al the new answer formats including the ones with more than one correct answer. The Reading section gives great steps for answering reading questions with many, many examples and all reading question types found on the CORE The English - writing review is very complete and includes all the CORE writing question types and sources based responses. The new source based essays are carefully explained with lots of sample essays and grading explanations. The math review was great with all the new topics covered on the CORE and all the CORE question types. I donât mind giving earned negative reviews but I saw no reason to downgrade this book for the math typos I saw. I used the two complete practice tests with explained answers and the computer based multiple choice and writing strategies. You have to use that Mark Screen to see the questions you may have left out. As the book says be sure to write an outline for your responses on the scrap paper. So, the book was great for me. A most important thing to realize is that none of these tests predicts your success as a teacher. So you do whatâs necessary to get at least the minimum passing score explained in the book. Then get into the classroom. That is whatâs really important.
After looking around at BN bookstores, this is the best for preparation, examples and realistic practice tests the Praxis CORE â Reading â Writing (multiple choice and essay) and mathematics There is excellent preparation and practice for the new source based constructed responses. Based on everything I clicks find this is the most up to date. You just need the "P" on your record, and this book takes you there.The book shows you how to adjust your preparation based on what you know. Some people will need more preparation, some less, some just the practice tests to get to that âPâ you want.I am pleased to recommend this book.
I am a test prep coach. A student who is preparing for a math Praxis exam purchased this book to prepare. It is DREADFUL!!! Errors on every page of math practice tests. Very poor, confusing answer explanations. Fortunately, I had other study materials on hand that she could use.
While there are good strategies to learn when taking the core exam of the Praxis, there are a ridiculous amount of errors in the practice tests and reviews. What's the benefit of using this book to study when you can't be positive if you're answering any of the questions correctly or not? Very disappointed.
I was preparing for the Praxis CORE exam and this book gave me AMAZING preparation. Not only did I pass, I received almost perfect scores on all 3 sections: Math, Reading and Writing. The only other resource I used was online practice test I purchased from the official ETS website. What is great about this book: it has practice exams with questions that are formatted identically to what you will see on the test; it has test preparation tips that make you feel more relaxed and prepared on test day; the content is organized in an easy to understand format with great examples. The only downside: there are some mistakes in the book, specifically in the math practice questions. But overall it is one of the best test prep books I've used. I am currently using it to prepare me for Praxis II: Elementary Education (5011, 5019). This book has a section for 5011 (5019 is the new/updated version of the test that I am taking), and so far it is great! I've taken an online 5019 practice test from the official ETS Praxis website and this book has practice questions identical to the online test so I know it will prepare me well!
I picked up Barron's PRAXIS, 7th Edition: CORE/PLT solely for the PLT part, and it was an all right book with only one practice exam. I was able to learn from my mistakes and improve upon them. It had a nice, short study guide for me to brush up on the specialized education vocabulary and theories. Make no mistake: I plan on studying other 3 books that I have on hand to prepare myself for the upcoming PLT Exam.Update: get the book CliffsNotes Praxis II: Principles of Learning and Teaching, Second Edition, and you'll thank yourself later.
