>> Not happy Test prep only good for 3 question items in the actual Praxis II
I took the Praxis II for special education early in Jan 10 and I have to say I was really blown away by how little the test material for the Core Content Knowledge exam 0353 was covered by this Cliff Notes test prep Fortunately being a sped veteran teacher for 10 years gave me what I needed to know to feel confident that I passed the test To be fair some of the background knowledge for the 2004 update of IDEA was useful but it might have been 3 out of 60 questions total I chose this one for the price and while I don t know how the other test preps compare I do have buyer s remorse I spent many hours studying things in this booklet and got very little in return based on the actual test I want those hours of my life back
>> Not worth buying and studying for 0353 unless you know nothing about special ed
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
>> Looks like it is a good study resource
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
