IC for Praxis I Math?
#1
Has anyone taken the PPST Praxis in Mathematics and used IC to prepare?

Once I'm done with two of my classes, I plan to take the three-test Praxis I series (Reading, Writing w/essay, Mathematics) and am doing an excellent job of working myself up over these tests. I mean, it's not like my chance to take the next step toward my long-held dream rests on passing these tests or anything. Rolleyes

I'm not worried about the Reading test -- it's mostly comprehension. A&I Lit lite from what I've gathered. Writing will require basic grammar review and a few practice sessions with a timer and stupid essay topics drawn from a hat. Math, though. Eep! It's been several years since my last math class and I'm skeered.

The paper-based test (which I will choose for math) is 40 questions in 60 minutes. No calculator allowed. (I have a tendency to make computational errors. This is a problem.)

Here's the breakdown:

[INDENT]I. Number and Operations (13 questions)
II. Algebra (8 questions)
III. Geometry and Measurement (9 questions)
IV. Data Analysis and Probability (10 questions)[/INDENT]

Will the CLEP College Mathematics flashcards be good review for this one? Anyone? Bueller?

This may or may not help you- but I found the BEST resource for this type of study is at Math.com - World of Math Online It is a free computer based brush up. First, there is a quick series of lessons, then samples, then you do the "quiz" questions. This helped me firm up on the basics, and I highly suggest it!

Thank you, Jennifer. I need to get over my math phobia, anyway, but I'm struggling to identify resources. That site looks fantastic!

And that Einstein quote is going on my classroom wall, if I ever get there.

I wanted to add, go in under the "Practice" tab for the lessons.
