Cracking the PRAXIS II: NTE, 2nd Edition doesn't try to teach you everything you need to know about literature, math, social studies or science -- only what you need to know to score high on the PRAXIS II: NTE. There's a big difference. In this guide, The Princeton Review will teach you how to think like the test-makers and: Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you; Solve PRAXIS II: NTE algebra problems by "plugging in" numbers in place of letters; Use "process of elimination" to select the right answers in the literature and fine-arts section, even if you are unfamiliar with the text or the painting in question; Ace the social studies and sciences sections without memorizing hundreds of facts. Also included are a full-length sample test and an audio-CD that simulates the listening portion of the test.List Price: $34.95
