Review for the PLACE
I am so glad I had this review. As you can see they don't give you much to go on to study for the PLACE. If you read each of the History sections and skim the humanities section, and brush on your algebra or study whatever you struggle with - this book covers all the basics and if I hadn't studied from this book (as well as a few other sources based on the PLACE study guide) I would have done 1/2 as well.

Worth the money!
I bought the two as a pair and together the books have been helpful. But if you are looking to take a place for just your Licensure then you will need to look for other study sources. The books are geared more for the general place test.

Worthless!
Don't waste your money.Toilet paper is a lot cheaper than this book (which is about all it can be used for). ... Read more

Will never purchase a book online again!!!
I needed to buy a review book for the Colorado PLACE exam. I decided to buy a used book since the delivery time frame would have worked. However, once the delivery time frame had passed, and I still did not receive the book, I had to run to Barnes & Noble and purchase a new review book. It's a good think I did not continue to wait for this book because it never showed up! I have never had this happen to me before and because of this experience, I will never purchase a book online again!! Especially from Amazon!

What test are you taking?
If you are looking for a review for the general place test then this is the book for you. However, if you need only to take the test for your specific licensure then I would look else were for a study guide.

outdated
This 1998 version is outdated. Colorado still requires a PLACE exam, butthe structure is very different and focuses on single subject proficiency--not what this book has to offer.

Very comprehensive test preparation
An absolutely essential resource for someone preparing to take the PLACE exams.Full-length sample exams with detailed explanations of the answers as well as very helpful testing tips.It is very thorough, comprehensive, and valuable.I highly recommend this book. ... Read more

Product Description
This study guide targets teacher competencies and skillsfor SPECIAL EDUCATION. You read four years of material between thecovers of one study guide. Regardless if your test is multiple choiceor essay format you will have ample material to reflect upon to dowill on these formats.

The majority of XAM study guides have 125 question multiple choicesample tests. The questions are medium to hard in difficulty butreasonable for a trained teacher candidate to answer. Since thequestions do highly resemble the real test we are frequently asked ifthey are former tests. They are not. If any question from our bookappears on the test it would be a coincidence.
