This book covers the four main areas of the Elementary Content Knowledge Test: Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science. Each section has a subject matter review as well as a sample... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is great! It covers everything you need to know for the Elementary Praxis, but some of the information goes over 5th grade level and makes you panic more than you have to. I found there was a lot of political science questions on my praxis test in the History section. So know our political system and how it works and electing for presidency. That was the only thing I didn't concentration on and there it was!! In my state a 141 in passing and I got a 151. Buy this book and maybe a smaller more specific elementary book. If you were to buy just one book this is it though. The ETS book sucks BTW it has barely any practice questions. This book is filled with practice questions!!!
A good overview

This test is a pretty broad test. This book is probably overbroad. However, it is useful for reviewing all those things you haven't thought about in a long time. THe practice stuff is pretty useless and it could use a proofreading. But overall, I think it helped me study. Better than the stuff that ETS puts out.
GREAT!

Well, I used this book like 5 years ago and it was very helpful and explains each answer. And I was able to pass the PRAXIS exam!
Not Bad At All

While this book did not go over everything that was on the test (specifically, some detailed language arts professional theories), and went over several things that were not covered, this book provided a very good review for the test. Overall the questions on the actual test were less complicated than those in the practice test, so though I had stressed out a lot about learning everything in the book, it turned out that I felt very well prepared when taking the test. Obviously the material cannot be exactly the same, but it was similar enough to help me figure out what to study. I was much more pleased with this book than several other reviewers, as I used little other material and still felt confident that I did well.
