Save Your $$$ - This Sloppy Book Is Worthless

By Test Taker in Texas - June 15, 2009

At first glance, this book looked like the answer to my prayers. Scanning through it in the book store, I marveled at how in-depth it went into each domain and competency. It was one of the few books I found at the book store which promised to prepare me specifically for the English Language Arts and Reading 8-12 test.

What a disappointment!!!

First of all, it is a book about ENGLISH and GRAMMAR, yet it is FULL of typos and errors!! What a joke!

Second, the writer obviously knew NOTHING about the actual TExES English Language Arts and Reading 8-12 test. I took a practice version of the test at my teaching certification school. The wording of the questions and content were not even in the same ballpark!

The actual test has an essay question, or more accurately, a "Constructed-Response Assignment." The book refers to it as a "prompt." Here's what the book said about the essay part of the test, which incidentally, is worth 30% of the... read more

Absolutely HOrrible!

By Umaymah - April 4, 2013

I bought this book to help prepare for the test I took today. But this book's practice test was nothing like the real test. The informational part was really good, but the test prep was horrible. I would strongly recommend buying some other test prep.

Barely poor but could've been so much better

By Adriana Dominguez - November 8, 2012

a lot of the reviews said the same thing about this book- it's full of typos. I didn't believe it. People tend to be over reactive. But then I read it for myself...

Yes the book is riddled with typos, and Theyre especially irritating when they are in the test portion. But they can be noticed and figured out.

This book offers little in informative reference to the pedagogical and literature questions. For example, an answer to an ESL question is " there is a correlation between learning English and Portuguese" but none of that is mentioned in the study portion that come before the test. There are many instances like this.
