 Preparing for the Middle Grades Math Praxis II test April 4, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an excellent study guide to use as a prepartory book for the Middle Gardes Praxis II Math test. I am a special education teacher. I do not have a math background. I studied other materials thinking it would prepare me to take the Middle Grades Math Praxis II. I took the test and failed it (twice); therefore, I decided to try Priceton Review, because I am familiar with their excellent testing prepartory study guides. It did the job -- I re-took the test and I passed it!!! If you are having problems passing the Middle Grades Math Praxis II test, get the book and study your areas of weakness.

I worked with the following books and scored straight 800's:
1. SAT II Math With TI
2. 10 Realistic 1C Booklets
3. 10 Realistic 2C Booklets
4. Princeton Review SAT II Math
I recommend that you do the same!
 Crap May 24, 2004

3 exercises on one page, so few examples, incomplete and misleading, plus the exams are old fashioned; I wish I never bought this book.
excellent book for review! March 1, 2004
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is very helpful and is easy to follow. They seemed to cover everything given on the test and offered great explanations. I believe I did spot a few typo's though? But nothing major. The tests at the end of the book were helpfull too; they seemed to me to be the same level of difficulty that the actual test was. Also, what's cool is that you can actually find your estimated scaled score... After taking the math 2c (got 790) I feel this book really provided me with a good review of math concepts. Good luck to all...
 Comparing with Barrons (For Math IIC) January 28, 2004
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is not a bad book for those of us who have a solid background in trig and (pre)calculus. Unlike its Barrons counterpart, this book is a no nonsense guide to the SAT II math iic. It tells you the sort of topics and questions to expect on the test. It is true that the questions are considerably easier than the real deal, the questions and the practice tests depict the actual test a lot more accurately than the Barrons. Barrons manages to give you a screwed up impression of the real test, mentioning and giving inadequate explainations for many topics that AP level students haven't heard of (and that you certainly don't need to know for the SAT II). However, Barrons does train you harder and if you manage a score in the upper 30's on the Barrons, you should be OK on test day. The only flaw with the Princeton Review book is that it doen't give you any security as it doesn't have an in-depth coverage of the topics (but again it is adequate if you are just reiewing topics that you have mastered previously), nor does it have tough questions. Lastly, if you are willing to put in the effort, I would recommend you to buy this book and the Barrons just to freak you out and make you work harder in addition to the Real SAT IIs book just so you can see where you really stand.
