In PASS: Prepare, Assist, Survive and Succeed, Barbara Williams and Roe Mennuti will present their tried and true approach for reviewing and preparing for the praxis exam. This book stands apart from what little competion exists by providing a wholistic system to preparing, reviewing, and taking the exam - beyond simply a set of sample questions and answers. A companion CD will be included with the workbook, which will contain not only handouts and worksheets useful for review, but also an audio relaxation and stress-reduction program developed by the authors.
