2 out of 5 stars Did not meet expectations   August 15, 2008
I currently teach geometry (out-of-field) and purchased this book in order to take the praxis to add secondary certification and HQ status.

The plus is that this book attempts to cover the content areas.

The minus is that there are way too many typos. Basic formulas are incorrect and there are problems that are unsolvable. Also, several drills and practice questions do not have answer sets or they have incorrect answers. The practice tests are no where near the difficulty presented on the actual exam.

It's very disappointing that a book so poorly edited was actually published. I don't recommend you purchase this book.

If you're looking for a good resource to study for the praxis, I recommend you download the bulletin from praxis to get the list of areas being tested and use current textbooks to review this material.



1 out of 5 stars Can't trust the answers...   July 10, 2008
I am no math whiz, in fact, I am not even taking the test the book is for; I am using it to brush up on my math for the GRE, since most of the GRE prep books only have a short section. I haven't taken a real math class in ten years, so my skills are EXTREMELY rusty, but even I spotted a typo in the second chapter (the first chapter with any real instruction).

With my weakling math skills, I was puzzling over how on earth 12 times the square root of 16 could be equal to the square root of 48. And it doesn't. They meant regular old 48, not the square root of 48. How am I supposed to learn from a book that gives wrong answers on the examples? I'd hate to think of getting to the more difficult stuff that I have a hard time understanding anyway and not being able to trust the answers given.

Back to the Borders for this one. Good thing I kept the receipt.



4 out of 5 stars GREAT BUY!   June 5, 2008
This book definitly covers a lot!! There were only a few problems out of the 100s that had typos. GREAT BUY!!!!


1 out of 5 stars False sense of security   January 18, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Sample tests gave a false sense of security - they were much too simple and did not represent the true difficulty level of the actual 0061 test taken in January 2008. Do not be misled. The book should be re-written with more difficult and truly representative tests.


2 out of 5 stars Review of Praxis II Math by Mel Friedman   September 27, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Initially, I thought this book would be a great study reference. Then I started to realize there were mistakes in it. The first one I noticed immediately, so it was no big deal. The second caused great consternation, and it took some time for me to work on the surrounding math to confirm my impression - it was wrong.

And this was in the first chapter I worked on (Geometry).
