Avoid this item March 21, 2008
This review refers to the NTE/PRAXIS edition (actually, it is an older edition, NTE/PRAXIS is a label pasted over the original title). Some of the information in this "thing" was obsolete in 1975! WISC-R, moron/idiot/imbecile, "Compared to the 1937 Stanford-Binet Scale...", "retarded". It seems to be every item from every Praxis exam that anyone has ever taken, ever. The Thompson book is much better, but a lot has changed since 2004 and it too contains some incorrect information - but it's worth buying. On-line NASP and ETS info seem to be the best out there.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!! July 29, 2007

This book was out of date when I was in graduate school 30 years ago. This is especially disturbing because the NASP exam hasn't been around that long. Not only are the test editions obsolete, but there are many questions based on psychoanalytic theory,answers based on discredited theory (e.g. etiology of homosexuality, and answers that are simply incorrect. It looks as if the author stuck some very old exams together without much concern about their relevance to current practice or NASP guidelines.

Wild goose chase May 13, 2007

Initially, the questions on this practice guide appeared useful. however, as i took the practice exams, I realized that the questions were far afielf of what would be on the exam. There was alot of general psych questions that were completely irrelevant to the exam. Even the ones that addressed school psych were extremely outdated (some appeared to be from about 1978), often drawing on tests that were no longer in use for a very long time. I could go on and on about how far afield many practice questions were from the real exam. This book, unless you are a psychology history buff and intend to play psychology trivial pursuit, can only serve to worry and annoy a potential test taker.

Parts of this book were helpful but most of it is related to general psychology rather than school psychology. It did not address much of the content that is required for school psychology. This book is arranged in a way that makes it difficult to use. Very technical questions. This book consists of questions and answers only, no discussion.

Old, outdated practice exams--do not buy this!!! October 8, 2006

The cover indicates that the exams are new and current, but not even close. Do we still use the WISC-R? No. These "current" exams have questions related to it (WISC-R) and many other old-school practices. Very frustrating. Buy the NASP study guide! Good luck.
