ACTUAL FEEDBACK SINCE March 10th, 2009:
(It should be known that I
have received great feedback, but I have also
received ideas on ways to improve my tests.
Almost all of those ideas have been implemented.
So I cannot take 100% credit for my wonderful
tests!)
Michael -
I just received my 0061 content knowledge
results. I aced the test, but because my
version was easier than other versions I have a
196 score. I will be receiving a ROE award From
Praxis. There were some calculus questions on
the test. Your questions were great and helped
me increase my speed on the test. I finished
the test with 30 minutes to spare, so I was able
to go back through and look at all of the
questions I had marked for their difficulty...
And buy the way. Your questions priced at 6.50
were way better than the ones I bought from
Praxis at $35. My suggestion to you is to put
up more questions or more tests and charge
more!!! great job...Great job and thanks for the work you have done with your site. $6.50 was a steel for the gold in your practice tests. -DS
Hi Mike, Your tests are awesome! I went from 14/25 on your first test to a perfect score the second time I took it (also, I was within the 55 minute time frame this time). After that, I took test #2 and tried to live up to your challenge of perfection. I just missed it by one with 24/25 (6 minutes over the 55-minute time frame). I then took the trig test and got 12/15 the first time (5 minutes over 33 minute time frame), and retook it for 15/15 (only took 30 minutes-3 minutes under the suggested time). Your explanations are amazing! I really feel like I understand all of the concepts in your tests! If you have any more sample tests I would be thrilled and would pay whatever your fee is, as I know you are more than fair with your pricing and whatever you make is truly helpful (that's an understatement)! Thanks so much and if you have any more resources and/or suggestions, please let me know! Cheers, -J
Hi Mike: Thought I'd
update you with the results of my PRAXIS II Math
content exam. Not only did i pass in Colorado,
which requires the highest passing score of any
state, but I passed with a score of 183, earning
an ROE. Your affordable practice tests did the
trick! I also bought the CliffsTestPrep book,
but I thought your tests were much more like the
real test questions than the ones in the
book... as I was taking the test, I looked at
the other gal there taking the math test, and
she was tearing out her hair and audibly
groaning. She didn't finish in time - but I
finished not only in time, but with time to
spare! Thanks so much for this great resource.
I passed your information along to my student
advisor, hoping she can pass it along to all the
math students at my school. You rock!

Hi Mike, This practice test
really helped me great deal. I took the practice
test the night before I took the actual Praxis
II exam and several of the problems were
similar. This test really gives you a
comprehensive idea of what is going to be on the
actual test. Thanks a lot! Again this test
really helped me so thank you. -F
Mike, I am just writing to thank you.
I recently took and passed the March 2010
Praxis math on my first try. Your test
was so thorough and helped identify my
strengths and weaknesses. I am a new
math teacher and I spent 10 years in retail
before returning to become a teacher.
I had brushed up on my math but you know if
you don’t use it, you lose it. Your
test is one of the main reasons I passed and
one of the best investments I have ever
made. Thanks again. -C
Mike- A fellow member of Teach for America told
me your exam was very well thought out, so I
figured I'd give it a shot. I'm glad you put
this out there. A well-thought out and deftly
prepared test. The explanations are fantastic,
and the questions cover a very large range,
including representative problems on every
section of the test that Praxis describes. Best
of all, the price is actually reasonable and
WELL worth it. Far better than any other
practice test I've run across both for content
and value. Really, it was a great test. Thanks
for this; I'm sure it'll help me in the long
run. -B
Michael, My name is LK, and I live near Little
Rock, Arkansas. I am a 47 year old man, and
just lost my retail job of nearly 25 years back
in June. While I was in High School, I always
wanted to be a math teacher. I graduated with a
BA in Math from University of Arkansas, Little
Rock, in 1990. My minor was Computer Science. I
have decided to go back to school to get a
Masters in Education in Secondary Education, so
I might earn a teacher's license to teach math
here in Arkansas. I have looked all over the
web for help on the Praxis 2. I have found
several tests upwards of 40 dollars. I couldn't
believe it when I found your site. The sample
problems were enough to convince me to order the
set. I missed 4 of 25 on the 1st, only 2 of 25
on the 2nd, and made perfect on the
trigonometry. I want to thank you for making
these available on the web. I am studying hard
to get the RoE myself. Wish me luck! My test is
in January...I'll let you know how I do. A
Lifetime Fan!

Sir, I have retrieved your test. The
questions are good, far better than the REA
"Praxis II Math" questions, which are,
in many cases, ridiculous. For example, the
REA book has questions like "What is the
perimeter of triangle ABC and,
when inspects triangle ABC, the lengths of
all 3 sides are shown. Test item writing is
an art and the REA items are atrocious and,
as in many cases, I told my teachers not to
buy them. FYI, if you did not already know,
ETS has been publishing its own guides to
Praxis tests (similar to the College Boards"Real SATs") but HS math is not one of
them. You may know that there is, in the
federal govt, a movement to establish
national standards,since NCLB resulted in
states lowering standards to ensure
"progress" and thus receive continued
federal funding. Consequently, the big
state-contracted test writers, e.g.,
McGraw-Hill, Thompson, had a field day,
since item writing for many of the tests
could be done by any competent math teacher,
without any special flair for the art. Those
who have this "special flair" are hard to
find. Perhaps things will change. -R
Mike- Your tests and web site in general. - - -
great job!!! I loved having a simple pdf file
that I could download and use over and over.
The test prep Praxis offers is so limiting that
I cannot even use it on my computer. I have to
make sure a windows machine at the public
library is open before I can use that and I
spent $50 on the **** thing. I want to sue them
for malpractice. SO THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THESE
OUT THERE AND I WOULD BUY MORE IF YOU HAD THEM.
-D
I felt that the problems on your test were
more in line with ETS samples than any
others I saw. I took the test this morning,
and many of the problems on the test were
reflected in yours! Thank you for the help.

The following email I received offered a lot of feedback. I will show his email, and in parenthesis, I will explain how his email better shaped my website:
Aloha Mike,
Just a couple of things I'd like to point
out from one teacher to another. The wording in
the Monty Hall question is awkward because it
makes it sound as though the choice is always
given after the chooser picks the right door. (I
agree, not only did I re-word this problem, but I put it at the end of my exam and called it a "bonus" problem, and replaced it with a better question relating to probability
& stat).
I believe you have good intentions, but
I think you should be more specific and accurate
in describing what you offer so people don't
expect two different complete tests as I did. (I
edited the front page to reflect that the buyer
would be purchasing one test, and then a second
test that is similar to the first in order for
the user to practice what they learned from the
first test).
Mahalo, -M
The following is a reply
from the same user
Hi Mike, Thanks again for the detailed
explanations in your answers. .... I run a
tutoring business and we do a lot of SAT, SSAT,
GRE, MCAT, and TOEFL test prep, and I've never
seen such a sparse offering of test preparation
offerings as I have for this test. The Cliffs
book has no diagrams whatsoever and assumes a
graduate student level of knowledge, and that's
the one that got the best reviews online. What
you do offers a lot more value than that, and I
wish there were more to be had, but I understand
how time-consuming it must be.
Mahalo, -M

Hello Sir, Thank you for the help especially
taking off your personal time to help with the
matrix and ti-84. One question came from there.
I passed the praxis II. -A
Hello Mike, Your sample tests were well
written and the explanations far exceed those in
terms of quality and quantity compared to any
other produce. Rather than being dry and
boring, the explanations were written like you
were talking. I especially like the calculator
steps. I'm coming into teaching through an
alternative route and when I learned math the
1st time, we didn't have graphing calculators.
I don't always know the most efficient way to
get an answer. I used to be in corporate
training and developed curriculum and
assessments. The ability to write a quality
question takes time, effort and skill. The
guideline is that it should take 1 to 3 hours to
write each item. Thank you for investing the
time. -J
Mike, Thank you for all your hard work in
preparing your sample Praxis II math problems
and easy to read solutions. I'll be
reviewing this over and over before the exam.

Mike, I haven't taken a math course since
1988. Starting a new career as a high school
math teacher and needing the Praxis II exam I
found your practice test very helpful. Some of
the questions that I had gotten correct your
step by step solutions showed me more elegant
and faster ways to get to the correct answer.
It certainly helped me to look for alternative
ways to approach problems and I am sure will
save me valuable time in the test. -D
FOLLOW UP (July 14): Mike, I
passed the Praxis II mathematics. If you recall
from past email I hadn't taken a math course
since 1988. I used your test and I believe that
it really helped. Thanks, -D
Hi Mike,
I bought your practice questions last night.
I have to say these questions are very
thorough, answers are explicit and much
better than the official ETS study guide
practice test. I am trying to find as many
practice exams as I can and would rate yours
with 5star. Please let me know if you come
up with some more like these. Thanks,
-K
Overall, I thought it was a good test. It
picked up a couple of areas that I need to
review. I am taking the Praxis II in June
and plan on reviewing yours again after more
studying. The questions are harder than
the Praxis II study material which is a good
thing!! Hopefully, I will ace this test! Thanks,
-L
Thank you for making a cost-effective resource.
-S
Mike, Thanks so much for putting together
this practice test. I just took it and it
really showed me what I know and what I
still need to work on! It has been very
helpful to review the topics, and also to
see different approaches to solving some
problems, some of which I hadn’t seen
before. Thanks again, -J
Mike, I recently purchased both your practice
tests . . .thanks! They have been a great study
aid. Thanks again for the tests, I am very
thankful for all the work you did putting them
together. -P
Thank you for the response. I have accessed the
practice tests purchased and believe these more
closely reflect the difficulty of material I've
seen on the real tests. Your explanations are
fantastic! And your pricing is great! I'll
be sure and let you know the outcome.
-R
These questions will help me tremendously on my
test! -K
(Someone had trouble paying me because
of financial reasons, SO:) Mike:
Ok, I promise I will keep this e-mail down.
Sorry, about that. First, that response
was really fast. Not only do you keep
your word in terms of your response time stated
on your website, but, "HOLY GOSH, BATMAN, You
gave me the exams for free on top of that"
!!!!! You better believe, I'm going to spread
the word about your website. I was just in
Barnes and Nobles looking for some study
material and met 2 other aspiring teachers.
I immediately told them about your website and
asked that they spread the word to tell their
friends. I believe in God, so, I will continue
to put my trust in him to work it out. God has
already answered my prayers with you helping me
out this way. I offer a prayer for your
continued success in all you do. Thank you
soooooooo very much for giving me these
exams. You are a non-profit company, so I know
this was a generous donation. I do appreciate
it. There are people like me out there search
and searching for help from wizards like you.
Ok, I'll stop. Hope to hear from you
soon. Definitely, after you finish your
new exam in August. -J
Mike, I recently purchased both your practice
tests . . .thanks! They have been a great study
aid. Thanks again for the tests, I am very
thankful for all the work you did putting them
together. -P
I have now completed (the test I bought from
you) and was very happy with your problems. By
far, they had the best explanations of any
sample text questions I have tried. Sometimes I
got the correct answer but I found that the way
you did the problem was more simple and direct.
If you develop more problems let me know.
Thanks. -G
Praxis quality questions at just a fraction of the
price. -D
Mike- Thank you for providing such a fine set of
practice tests for such a decent price. I've
been looking through what free resources I could
find, but the opportunity to work though a
complete test with a good review of the answers
has helped me feel much more prepared.
Thank you again for providing an inexpensive
practice test. I learned/recalled some
significant points. With thanks and warm
regards, -J
Congratulations on your wedding! Thank you for
the response. I have accessed the practice
tests purchased and believe these more closely
reflect the difficulty of material I've seen on
the real tests. Your explanations are fantastic!
And your pricing is
great! I'll be sure and let you know the
outcome. -R
Thank you so much. I used your website and
passed my 0061 test on my first try. Your site
is just awesome! -ZR
Hi Mike, Thank you for your reply! When I begin
studying for the Praxis II Math test, I will be
purchasing your exams.
-C
Mike - I have just finished going through the
first exam, and I (knock wood) did better than I
thought I would. The exam was also helpful at
pinpointing my weaknesses (which I sort of
already knew), so it will help me study. So
thanks again for developing the test. -W
Email me when you make another!!! -K
Hi Mike! I recently purchased your two
practice texts for the Praxis 2. First and
foremost, thank you for putting together
these tests and very detailed answers. They
have been awesome! I have learned more from
reading your answers than from any other
kind of study I have tried. Thank you!
-S
Dear Mike, Thank you so much for your wonderful
site. I will be taking the November 14th praxis
and hope that your tests will be of help. If you
have any other resources I would be more
than willing to purchase them from you. Any
advice would be much appeciated. I have referred
many people to you and will continue to do so.
Thanks -TC
Hello Mike, I just purchased your tests
online and from what I can see, they are
going to be a great help! -TS
Mike, Just wanted to let you know that I got a
166 on my PRAXIS II Content Knowledge! I'm
thrilled! Your tests were invaluable to helping
me achieve this, thank you! -K
Mike, Thanks for this service. It is the best
and cheapest tests that I could find online.
Quite a Christmas present to myself to relieve
me of some stress before the early January test.
Thanks, -J
Hi Mike - I am very glad to have come
across your website and just purchased the
practice exams. The sample questions were
great - challenging but do-able, so I feel
somewhat more confident that I will be able
to adequately prepare for the content exam.
-W
Mike, I just downloaded your tests for 0061
Content Knowledge and they look great. -S
Hi Mike. I have worked with a lot of the
online sample Praxis tests and yours is
definitely superior (and much cheaper. Too
bad I found you AFTER the other ones)... (She
gave a suggestion about number 12, which I
will probably alter because of the
suggestion!)... Anyway, thanks for the
great tests. If I pass, I will toast you!
Regards, -L

Thank you so much. I
have been teaching geometry a long time, so I am
okay with the trig. The other tests ( and
your very complete explanations) very much and
just wish you had more that I could buy! I
am taking the test April 24th and am
so rusty that it is causing me much anxiety!
I haven’t seen calculus in 15 years and didn’t
like it then! HA! Thanks for all your
problems and let me know if you create any more.
-J
Thanks alot. I did get a chance to save
tests 1 and 2. I'll bookmark the link
this time. I looked at test 1 so far. The
explanations are great! I will write a
review, hopefully my score will increase
after working with your tests! Thanks -T
Mike: I wanted to let you know that I did
pass the Math Content Knowledge test. Your
tests were a BIG help. If you would like a
recommendation just let me know. -L
Hey Mike, Just finished taking test 2 of your
praxis 2 practice tests... Thanks for some great
problems and helping us future teachers, -B
