FTCE PreK-3 Study guide that is excellent
I totally recommend buying this book if you are taking the PreK-3 exam. I did and passed it the first time. There were many questions from this book on my exam. It is the only thing I studied and well worth the money.

FTCE Prekindergarten disappointing
This book does not compare to the xam one. It has very little info in it compared to the xam one. The 5 test questions it includes contains 2 wrong answers in the answer key!!! The questions rarely relate to the topics covered in the book!!! Do not spend your money buy the other one!!The other book has 2 practice tests each test has 120 questions!!

Teacher
A good review before the test.Most of the information is common sense, but it's good for the theories and laws behind prek - 3rd education. ... Read more

Don't Be Fooled by The Title!
As someone who purchased this product directly from the publisher, I strongly advise you not to waste your money on this. This book only offers tips on how to "break the code" on the FTCE test, but it does not have any drills for you to practice. Though the product is a huge disappointment, I must say that the customer service is quite nice. After downloading the product and seeing what really was about, I called them up and ask for a refund because I was looking for a practice guide to study and not a lengthy set of testing tips, so they sent me a link to download the practice test which comprises of 5 tests for each are of the GK (The reading section is quite weak though), so I let them keep the money. The secrets help, but you need to practice and experience the actual test. So far, I would say that your best book companion while your prepare for the Test is the Cliffs Test Prep. ... Read more

Great tool
I needed a way to prepare for the cert. exam , and a friend recommended this book. It was great, very complete and concise, it covered nearly everything you would need. The supporting resources were great (online) , especially for a newbie (I'm not,with 36 yrs of teaching). The only thing I wish it had was a practice test, maybe an online one to give some feedback with. I passed the test with no problem, I would recommend it to a friend. ... Read more

book not enough alone
The book definitely jumps around topics from one paragraph to the next. I also noticed spelling/gramar mistakes. I don't think that the information in this book alone would prepare anyone to pass the exam. The test was really tough. I got the AP Art History guide from the library and skimmed that for a refresher on art movements and the major chracteristics of each along with the major artists of each time period. That knowledge came in handy. This is not just a memorization test, you have to apply the knowledge in different ways. I passed first try but was surprised that I did. This book does not tell you enough about graphic arts or the vocab of more obscure art forms like weaving, metal work.... also does not tell you about photo terms. I got a lot of vocab info on line. This book in more like a supplement on top of other studying.

No other options
This book is not well organized and has way more detailed information than you'll need, but there are no other really good options for the FTCE Art K-12 exam, so what can you do?

A little too much information
I ordered this book a month before my scheduled testing date, and found it to be very detailed and difficult to retain the overwhelming amount of information included.I have a psychology degree and decided to go into art education, so I figured I needed a good study guide to make up for my lack of college coursework in the subject. My mother is an elementary art teacher, and she agreed that the book included a lot of extra information that she didn't think would be on the test (although she took the subject exam about 15 years ago.) She was right.I did pass the exam, but I think that the $6 study guide from the FTCE website was just as helpful, since some of the exact questions were on the test.If you do feel that you need an extra detailed guide and decide to purchase this book, I would recommend skimming through the information and deciding what you think is most important and skipping other sections, rather than trying to read and memorize everything, because I don't think that is necessary to earn a passing score, especially for art majors.

Good Review Option
This was a good review for the art exam.I had taken the exam prior to buying this book and did not pass.IT'S A REALLY TOUGH EXAM!So, this book helped me organize thoughts and ideas about different artists and time periods.The only thing it doesn't cover well is ceramics and photography - and also art education theories.But, otherwise, it's very affordable compared to some reviews and it helped me pass! ...
