Tips to study for Praxis I
February 11, 2010 1:32 PM Subscribe
I Need to take and pass PRAXIS I asap. I looked at the sample questions on ETS website. My strongest area is math followed by reading. On the writing section, I feel I can do well on the essay as it seems natural to me but the technical terms used for grammar, etc, get me lost. So i am looking for advice to study all three parts, especially the technical English stuff. Should I buy the books from ETS? Are there better options? Thanks!
This is totally secondhand info, but I recently overheard two teachers saying the ETS Praxis books are not helpful at all.

Do not buy the ETS Praxis books. The one for Praxis II -- social studies had 1 practice test in it, and it didn't even include a key.
I haven't taken the Praxis I, but for what it's worth the Praxis II was ridiculously easy. I got a perfect score without studying. I wouldn't stress about it too much; spend some time with flash cards to memorize the grammar terms and you'll probably do fine.

Response by poster: Thanks for all the input. That is what i was looking for! I did not think to check the library but i will (Not sure whether i even have a library card!)
I am nervous a bit because i have been out of school for many years.
