I can take my cards with exam questions whenever I want to go and it is not heavy book. Flashcard has two side: one with question, another with answer.Flashcard reflects all system of Model for services by school psychology. This is really many questions in my exam, but i have a goal study 1 or 2 card every day and the day when I will study all exam will come. Review: Useful and Extremely Helpful - The Praxis II Study Guide by Cirrus was extremely helpful at covering the basic categories for the 5081 exam. Although additional personal reading and study is necessary to have a solid grip on taking the exam, this study guide provides an excellent resource that prepares the test-taker adequately. This reviewer passed the test on his first try thanks to this book!

I made a perfect score!
Worked my way through the study guide twice, and I didn't use any other resources to study. I was fully prepared for the Social Studies Praxis using just this guide!

If you already know the material and this is just a review then this will make a fine purchase for studying
There are a lot of errors in this study guide. Most of them are simple grammar mistakes or maps incorrectly labeled, but some of them are confusing and misleading if you do not already know the material. I'm studying the government section right now and it says that "The president serves a term of 4 years and may be re-elected up to two times." No, the president may be elected up to two times, but only RE-elected once. I'm not even halfway through this study guide and there are lots of these types of errors. If you already know the material and this is just a review then this will make a fine purchase for studying, just be aware that there are a lot of mistakes.

Excellent Resource
I purchased this study guide two months before I took the exam in Social Studies. I studied for a month, took notes, and took the practice exams. I passed the test on the first try. This is a great resource and helped me a lot.

Actually Really Helpful
The book came on time and was in great condition, it comes with comprehension-check questions scattered throughout the chapters and has all the important vocabulary defined at the end of each section. I give it four stars because the answers to the questions come right after the questions and have the correct answers bolded. I went through and covered all the answers with sticky notes before I started, and it was kind of a motivator to reveal the right answer (if i got it right anyway!). I was definitely skeptical, but I passed my test by a twenty point margin, so clearly it helped a ton! I totally recommend this book!

Buy a different study book - this was disappointing and not worth my money.
It gets the job done, but barely. For US history, I had to go researching the information all myself; it had barely anything other than important terms in bold. There are so many spelling errors in the book that it is surprising that no one caught them before it was printed. One thing that bugged me the most is that it didn't even define depression or recession in the Economics section. Those are very important terms to know. Overall, disappointed with this book. Would recommend people to look for a different book.
