I spent so much time studying with this book as I prepared for my NES that I figured I might as well include it in my reading for this year, haha. I actually did read this in its entirety and found it extremely beneficial. Time will tell if it helped me pass my test. I get my resluts in two weeks.

Breakdown of the guide:
Pt 1: Teaching Theory & Practice
Pt 2: Reading & Language Arts
Pt 3: Mathematics
Pt 4: Social Studies
Pt 5: Sciences
Pt 6: Arts & Music, Physical Education
Pt 7: Practice Tests
The intro to this guide covers what to expect from the NES test on exam day, how the test is administered and scored overall, what percentage each section makes up of the entire test and the estimated amount of time each section is likely to take to complete.
Test prep in the languages section covers topics such as DBQs (data based questions), how to set up productive class discussions, and self assessments vs peer assessments. Maths portion looks at things like order of operations, helpful acronyms, decimal place value, measurements (including metric), and statistics and probabilities. Social Studies section preps potential testers on an overview of general history and geography, anthropology, sociology, etc. Sciences covers many of the most common -ologies (hydrology, geology, meteorology, biology, etc). Arts & Physical Education looks at art criticism and history, musical notation, how to teach music, and how to teach health and safety classes.
Each unit also incorporates key words to watch for as you study, vocabulary to keep at the front of your mind for test day. With over 400 pages of test and 200+ test questions, this study guide feels INCREDIBLY thorough. I can't imagine not going into test day not feeling confident after diving into this one!

This book helped me prepare for the NES standard test. The reading questions were the toughest as I am not in a teaching program yet. Without this book I am not sure I would have passed the reading area of the exam.
