I passed!, 2008-10-31
This book was very helpful. I did not pass the Prof. Ed. test the first time I took it so I bought this book. I was able to fill in the areas I had trouble with the first time, like Assessment. I just read the chapters that I felt I had a deficit in and it worked like a charm!

Awesome book for a hard test!, 2008-10-13
I purchased the FTCE Professional Education Study guide before I purchased the Cliffs Test one. I failed the test the first time after some seriously hard study nights but then purchased the Cliffs Professional Education and I PASSED! Hard test if you have not taken any of the required courses! I highly suggest this book! It gets rid of all the "filler" words and explains the laws on a much easier level.

Helpful book for the test, 2008-08-12
This book is great if you want to be successful at the test. I read other books and I failed the test.This book is well organized and easy to understand. All the information needed for the test are in it.

A good value., 2008-08-05
Just took the Prof Ed Exam. I'm totally new to teaching so I was pretty worried. This book is the only thing I used to study. Passed it on the first try. I've tried the XAM books and the Cliffs Notes books on a few of my certifications and I've found the XAM books to be helpful (despite some nasty reviews on Amazon), but I find the Cliffs books to be slightly more helpful and, more importantly, they are WAY CHEAPER. The price is probably due to the amount in circulation as it seems they only publish the major tests (I can't find one for most of my SAE's). For the price, this book was solid. I studied it for about a week, took the practice tests and then studied those and passed first try.
If they had books for all of the exams I need to take, I'd use them exclusively, but for now I shell out more $$ to get the XAM books which are a slight step down in quality.

 good prep, 2008-03-31
I took and passed this exam in March of 2008. I passed on my first attempt. I used this book and the XAM book. Let me first say that the XAM book is NOT GOOD.
Overall, this book is a good review. It comes with 2 practice tests. I have no background in professional education. I majored and have a career in a non-related field. Therefore, I needed the content of the book to be very comprehensive in teaching the material. The material in the front of this book was very good for preparation for the test. It is a large amount of information that probably needs to be read a number of times to fully ingest, but it is good. The only area that it seemed lacking after taking the test is that it doesn't seem to cover more recent updates like school vouchers and school choice.
The two tests are fairly representative of the actual test. If you can pass the practice tests, you should have the requisite knowledge to pass the real test, but don't expect the actual test to be exactly the same format. Similar enough, though.
This is a good book. Save your money on the XAM version. Good luck.
