Product Description

These tests assess each teacher candidate’s skills in reading comprehension, fundamental math, English grammar, and writing. This revised and updated manual provides extensive practice and review in all test areas. It also presents three model tests, including a model Computerized PPST, with all questions answered and explained. Valuable added features include teacher certification requirements for each state, as well as advice on getting certified, writing a r©sum©, and finding a teaching position.

 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!
