How to Prepare for the Praxis II Tests
The College of Education strongly recommends that you download the Test-At-A-Glance from http://www.ets.org/praxis/. ETS has developed the Test-At-A-Glance booklets to show the topics and subtopics contained on each test along with sample questions. In studying for the tests, review the topics, making sure you fully understand all of the content. If you need more information about some topics, consult your past coursework or library. Study Guides are available for purchase from ETS for some of the Praxis II tests. Study Guides developed by other publishers are available from major book stores, including the Barnes and Noble Bookstore on campus.
