I have not been able to use this book yet, but from what I have read and heard, it sounds like a good book to use preparing for the Praxis test.

I was required to take and pass 0353 and 0542 as part of the provisional certification process in the state of MO via Teach For America. I have never taken an education-related course or a special ed-related course, nor have I worked in either field. In addition, I’ve been out of grad school for nine years, and haven’t had to “study” in quite awhile. I had about seven weeks to prepare myself.
The ONLY study guide I used was this book. I worked really hard to learn ALL the material, and I did the practice exams a couple times (giving myself at least a week between retaking them). I found out today that I passed both exams!!! Obviously, it is a huge relief. I read the reviews on here before I bought the book, and I was a little skeptical. But I swore to myself that if I passed, I would post a review. So, here it is! I definitely recommend this book. You still have to do the work — study the material and take the practice tests. But if you do that, you should be just fine! I was, and again — I had ZERO prior knowledge or experience in the subject matter.

I read the introduction section, the 0353 section, took the practice test and read the section in the back of the book. After taking the 0353 section of the Praxis II. I feel that this book was not worth buying and wasting your time studying, unless for a warm up. There was a fair amount of content in the book which was not on the test. The study book is well organized and breaks information into a very understandable current special edu. material. I did learn somethings from reading this book. In short if you have no clue about special education and you are taking section 0353. I think this would be good buy because it does highlight basic principles which the test is based on. Other wise unless for a refresher or warm up for the test. I do not think it is worth the purchase.

This book was really helpful in providing tips and great information for testing. In addition, the book worked great at preparing me for the test in providing practice questions and answers with specific reasoning behind the correct answer.
