Praxis II Spanish study guideI purchased this study guide from amazon.com and would NOT pay the price listed on ets website - that is a plus that it could be found here for a decent cost.
The guide itself is split into two sections - the 0191 and 0192 tests. Odds are that you will only be taking one or the other but there is only this one guide available.
The guide is OK - I feel it helped me somewhat to be prepared for the test format - but not so much with the actual praxis test questions. The study guide generally seemed to be easier - especially in the listening comprehension area. The actual praxis II spanish test (which I just took) had more difficult questions. The answer choices are designed in such a way to be very, very hard to use process of elimination and other tips - you either know it or you don't. Period.
The cultural section is somewhat odd really - basically it tells you that any topic from art, to writing, to history, to events, to people, etc, etc from any Spanish-speaking country at any period of time may be on the test. I tried my best to use the topics listed in the study guide, but only 1 or 2 of them pertained to my praxis test.
I would say you are better off buying the guide than not, but do not expect it to be a major boost for the ACTUAL questions, just the format. !buenas suerte a todos!
So glad that I bought this bookThis book is what it says: A study guide. I bought it for the Content Knowledge test and found it to be very useful in directing my review for the test. The list of topics IS long, but fairly exhaustive. I found the list of culture topics to be very helpful, as it gave me suggestions of people/places/things to study- many of which appeared on the actual test. The listening practice section on the CD (practice test) is easier than the actual test, but definitely helps you to know what to expect. The testing strategies weren't very useful to me, as they aren't very specific and don't tell anything that you didn't know from taking other tests. Also, half of the book is information for a test I wasn't taking.
Overall, I definitely recommend buying the book to help prepare for the test- and buy it here for cheaper. Use it to outline your review topics and to get a feel for the format of the actual test.
I detest ETS!This book tells you to study EVERYTHING! DUH! The only decent portion of the study guide is the practice test and the explained answers. However, once you take it, it is not useful much. The Content Knowledge Spanish II Praxis is very difficult for those who have not "studied" from a book for some time. I HIGHLY recommend the Practice Makes Perfect Series. This book is another way for ETS to make money, go figure. Where is Teddy Roosevelt when you need him? Someone needs to "bust that trust!"
The only useful PRAXIS Spanish content reviewI haven't found anything quite as useful as this book to study for the Spanish Content PRAXIS. There is only one practice test, which is my primary complaint, but the test gives you a really great idea of how much studying you need to do. There is also a very detailed section of the book with a list of the topics that may appear on the test (grammr, history, literature, culture, etc) so I used that to study. I haven't taken the test yet, but I anticipate I'll do well.
I recommend studying the list of topics before taking the practice test. Then you'll have a really good idea of how much further studying is necessary.
ehthe only thing worthwhile about this book is the practice test and even that is pushing it. this is the kind of test where you either know the information or you don't. this study guide scared me even more rather than putting me at ease because it lists an infinite amount of topics that could be on the real test. the majority of what's inside can be found on the ets website. definitely buy it on amazon and not the ets website because its not worth the money they want to charge you.
