Praxis II Middle School: Social Studies (0089) Exam Secrets Study Guide: Praxis II Test Review for the Praxis II: Subject Assessments (Secrets (Mometrix))
A Praxis II Test Study Guide Unlike Any OtherIf you'd like to get the Praxis II test score you deserve, to quit worrying about whether your score on the Praxis II test is "good enough," and to beat the test taking game, then this might be the most important message you read this year.Our comprehensive study guide for the Praxis II Subject Test is written by our Praxis II test experts, who painstakingly researched the topics and the concepts that you need to know to do your best on the Praxis II test. Our original research into the Praxis II: Subject Assessment, offered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), reveals the specific content areas and the essential skills that are critical for you to know on the Praxis II test. We've taken the information and developed a study guide that is guaranteed to help you be successful on the Praxis II test.Regardless of which Praxis II test you have to take- you have come to the right place. Here you will find everything you need to know in order to be successful and get your certification.Now, we know you may be skeptical, so let us give you three good reasons we can back up what we claim:The Three Reasons To Believe What We SayThe First Reason:Our company's name is Mometrix Test Preparation, and we have a team of standardized test researchers who have worked on developing our study guide for the Praxis II test. The standards for who gets to work on the team are very strict- we demand the best for our customers, and only those who met our exacting standards made the cut. The dedicated research staff have years of combined experience in mastering the content and skills necessary to succeed on the toughest exams.The Second Reason:Some academic studies have revealed that test takers do not really benefit from the traditional test preparation process. But we knew there had to be a solution- if test takers were not doing well on the Praxis II test despite high intelligence, there had to be a set of secret keys to the test that would open the door of success for these test takers.We believe we have succeeded in finding the secret keys of the exam. What we found was surprising, and in some casesridiculously simpleonce explained to the average test taker.We put the findings together in a thorough, concise study guide that we believe allows any test taker, at any skill level, toimprove his or her results dramaticallywith aminimum of effort.The Third Reason:We created the product in part because we were frustrated by the options available to test takers who really wanted to do well on the Praxis II test.A common approach is to TEACH the material, instead of TEACHING THE TEST. That's not necessarily good enough for the Praxis II test- you have to know how to apply the knowledge. Most test takers already have a general knowledge of the material that will be covered on the exam.One reason some test takers do well on the day of the test is that they have made the critical connection between the material they learned and how to use the material to succeed on the Praxis II test.Our guide addresses the difference between merely knowing the material and knowing how to use the material toperform on test day.You're going to save time, money, and aggravation. You'll learn to avoid the mistakes and the bad strategies that you've been vulnerable to. --Just for starters, here are some ways our product can help your score on the Praxis II test...The Exclusive Test Taking TechniquesExplains how the Praxis II test time limits are the #1 enemy of most test takers, and what you can do about it- You avoid falling into the many "time traps" built into the test, giving you an immeasurable advantage over those who go into the test unawareShows you super speed methods to get through the questions you know with ease- Saving you time so you concentrate on the hardest questions without rushingGet quick, customized help for the questions you have- just send us a quick email and we'll get back to you promptly with the answer.Keys to questions that "give away" the wrong (or right) answers- You get credit for some of the questions without really even knowing anything about themDetails the EXACT STUDY PLAN for the Praxis II test that we believe gives the most results in the least time- No matter if you're studying for a week or a month, you won't waste the precious study time you have on useless activitiesOur researchers are more than just academic theoreticians who understand the technical nature of standardized tests, but are also experts on test taking itself- they reveal the exact skills and the information you'll need to perform under pressure during the test.A systematic analysis and the best breakdown into "plain language" of how to deconstruct and master complex problems- You turn the problems that most of the test takers will stumble over to your advantageLearn why, when, and how to guess to your advantage.
