1 Praxis: Core Academic Skills For Educators: (5712, 5722, 5732) PDF

2 Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators Tests measure academic skills in reading, writing and mathematics. Colleges and universities may use the Praxis Core tests to evaluate individuals for entry into teacher education programs, and many states also require Praxis Core scores as part of their teacher licensing process. These brand new Praxis exams (which are replacing the current PPST), test skills identified as needed for college and career readiness, in alignment with the Common Core State Standards. Praxis: Core Academic Skills for Educators, which provides access to 12 practice tests, is designed for test takers studying for the: â Core Academic Skills for Educators: Reading (5712)â Core Academic Skills for Educators: Writing (5722)â Core Academic Skills for Educators: Mathematics (5732) Paperback: 324 pages Publisher: Learningexpress, LLC (September 7, 2014) Language: English ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Product Dimensions: 1 x 8.8 x 11 inches Shipping Weight: 1.6 pounds (View shipping rates and policies) Average Customer Review: 3.8 out of 5 starsâ Â See all reviewsâ (40 customer reviews) Best Sellers Rank: #36,078 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #11 inâ Books > Education & Teaching > Higher & Continuing Education > Test Preparation > Professional > Teaching #65 inâ Books > Education & Teaching > Higher & Continuing Education > Test Preparation > Professional > Professional #177 inâ Books > Education & Teaching > Schools & Teaching > Certification & Development So far this book is awful. You are better off studying the old Praxis Series Official Guide that covers the now gone (PPST) and combining that with the free PDFs online, than you are buying this book.you might also want to try some sample interactive tests ETS sells. This book fails to mention that students will have access to a square root function and an MC and MR button on the test provided calculator. (I can't speak to the rest of the math section as I haven't yet read it.)the writing section is horrid. I ordered this test in large part to further my understanding of the new source based essay.the writers of the book clearly have no sense of how the source based essay will be

3 formatted. If you haven't looked at other books you could be dangerously mislead on what you need to do. The sample questions they gave are nothing like the one example on the ETS website, or the other in the official practice test I bought. This book has one prompt based on two "sources " that are at a 6th grade writing level, and don't actually list an author or title up top so you can only cite the meager sources within.the other two sample source based essay questions are the opposite extreme using text that is very dense and archaic. From the few examples Praxis has provided I don't think they will be using archaic texts (though with so few examples perhaps I'm wrong.)as far as the argumentative essay the prompts are again way off base. As far as I can tell from the ETS website this section of the test has stayed the same as it was on the PPST. So buy the old book to get sample prompts. If you use this new book the prompts will be entirely different and misleading. Nothing like the test. I bought this book thinking it would be for the new Sept 1, test. The new test has new parts to it that are NOT included in this book. The new test is not only 2 essay questions but it also includes other types of grammar questions, which are not in this book. The "free" access to three instantly scored online practice tests are not released yet. I would look somewhere else to get a study guide. This book was OK. You really are better off with buying a book for the old test (ppst). This book only goes over general concepts of things. There is not enough math practice for someone like me who struggles with math. There's only 2 full length tests and trying to find online practice is useless. I suppose this is because the test is still new, but this book was a waste of money. Praxis: Core Academic Skills for Educators: (5712, 5722, 5732)So far this book is awfuli ordered this test in large part to further my understanding of the new source-based essay.the writer of the book clearly has no sense of how the source-based essay will be formatted. If you haven't looked at other books you could à   dangerously mislead on what you need to do. The sample questions they gave are nothing like the one example on the ETS website, or the other in the official practice test I bought. This book has one prompt based on two "sources " that are at a 6th-grade writing level and don't actually list an author or title up top so you can only cite the meager sources within. If you struggle in math like I do, do not buy this book. There are only 3 math sample tests and none of them come close in difficulty to the actual core. I used the practice tests for study material for

4 about a total of 10 hrs worth of study time. Went and took the test and wanted to scream because there were no gimme questions like the ones in this book. These tests were fairly simple and the core was so much more difficult, and these tests do not simulate those on the core one little bit. I am glad this item has finally been made available for our students to use to prepare for the Praxis test. Each student has to pass this test before they can take upper level courses and do their student teaching so having a study guide has proven to be very helpful. I purchased the kindle version of this product. Since this was my first time using 's kindle app, I'm not sure whether this is a problem with the book or with kindle or with my own inexperience. The table of contents had no page numbers. So if I wanted to go to say, Chapter 7, I had to guess a page number and browse around to figure out where I was in the book. Eventually I gave up since it was so difficult to find what I wanted. This is a MUST have book when practicing for the praxis exam. As an education major I was required to take the praxis exam and this book helped prepare me for this test! I am so glad I purchased this book and I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to take this test! It really helps!
