Cliffsnotes Praxis II: Middle School Mathematics Test (0069) Test Prep

This book was everthing the seller said! It came in excellent condition, and it arrived ahead of schedule.

This book is a great study tool for the test. It goes through all the content you will need to perform well on the test. Each chapter has a few sample questions at the end to be sure you are ready to move on. One thing to note is that if you are stuck on a particular topic, you will probably need an additional book because this one focuses more on what is covered and less on providing several sample questions for you to practice.

I used this book as my primary resource for studying for the MS Math Exam. I scored a 191 (passing for my state was 148). I hadn't had a math class in 10+ years but I used this book to outline my studying and it gave me a good guide for the exam. The level of material in the book I found to be quite a bit harder than what the actual exam contained but nonetheless if you know what is in the book you will be fine. The practice tests in the book are MUCH, MUCH HARDER than the actual exam. My only complaints are that some topics are not explained in enough detail and there are very few practice problems other than the practice tests. I used [...] (free) as a great resource for more detailed explanation on certain topics. For more practice tests I also used [...] (not free, I think it was like $10-15 per test) to take practice tests that were much more comparable to what actually appeared on the test. Hope this helps... BP

Great book for those who need a quick review of basic algebra, geometry, data analysis and discreet math. It was concise and helped me a lot. However, I would only recommend this book if you already have a notion of what you are doing in math. It is not for the very beginner as it assumes some background knowledge. On the other hand, if you are preparing to take the PRAXIS II for Middle School Math,I would hope that you already have some background in math.

I've been studying for the middle school Praxis for about 3 months now. I took it in Aug. and failed. Recently I have purchased the REA book, but I can see now that it's VERY outdated. The New Cliff's prep is extremely helpful. If you don't already own one, I would recommend purchasing a graphing calculator. This reivew is not too lenghty, and points out the important parts of the test. It also provides the key strokes for the calculator, so it saves time on the actual exam. There are 3 practice tests, and, unlike previous testing materials, I have yet to encounter a mistake. This CAN be your sole study material. I took the Praxis again a week ago, so I am await the results. PS the only other advice I can give to the future Praxis examinees, is to practice, practice, practice. Get an old Geometry or Algebra book, and make your study meaningful. Remember what you've practiced for.
