5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome overview
Reviewed in the United States on 13 January 2014

This PRAXIS review book is very comprehensive, very nicely organized, and contains practice questions that I feel reflect what the PRAXIS exam contains. The information in this book may also be useful later in your career as it contains a good overview of lots of disorders and concepts. There are tiny gaps where I feel more information could be included about certain things (like spectrograms, speech science specifics, DSM-V information, Common Core information, MBSS images, etc.), but the book is still very informative and can help you understand what you should study from your classroom materials.

This particular book does not include a flashdrive, and I would have loved if the book had a real-life practice test (with 120 questions and their answers/scoring). Instead, I took the practice test provided by ETS and rented the "Mosby's Review Questions for the SLP Praxis" from my university library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked for this Inattentive ADHD SLP :)

Very happy with this review book upon studying for the SLP Praxis exam (2024). I know it's a much earlier edition, but so much of the content is still relevant and accurate. It seems to just be missing updated information regarding current laws since this 3rd edition was written. Nevertheless, it was much more affordable ($30 vs $150) and still beneficial. I struggle with reading due to Inattentive ADHD and EFx issues. This review is concise and disregards all of the 'noise' or intriguing rabbit holes you can run down when reviewing your class notes, study guides, or PowerPoints. In that way, this book exercises restraint and is a great example of inhibition (impulse control). The only caveat to this book is that it doesn't go into specific details. Instead, it moreso 'activates' my memory node of what I learned in class. Thus, 'review' is a perfect description. This book covers every class you ever took, but you couldn't learn to be an SLP solely from this book (if that makes sense). While I'm using this book to review for the Praxis, I would actually HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to study for COMPS. I wish I had bought it for that reason (especially, if you get overwhelmed or struggle with initiation for such a massive, important task).

On that note, what I like about this book is you don't have to read it start to finish! I highly recommend practicing some shift (mental flexibility) by taking a Praxis practice test, identifying your weak areas, and then looking through the table of contents to ID specific sections (not necessarily full chapters) you need to review. For example, I started at the last chapter first and then skipped around. I read most of CLD in its full chapter, then jumped to other chapters and specific sections as they were referenced in the main CLD chapter. It really helped, even if it seemed a bit scattered. It felt more organic and flexible rather than rigid and stiff (always reading from A to Z).

Finally, I was leery of reading to study for the Praxis, because that's where I struggle the most with my neurodivergence. However, I have found this review easy to read, because it is so concise. It's mostly written in bullet points and clear, manageable sections. This makes it much easier to read with Inattentive ADHD, as someone who's always struggled with reading textbooks. Sometimes I resort to scanning and uploading selections to Speechify (a text-to-speech app), but sometimes it's just easier to read the book rather than go through the hassle of scanning and uploading. If you struggle with this, have no fear! This review book is fairly ADHD-friendly. Happy studying!

The advanced review speech language pathology book is a great book to study the praxis test. The only downfall I had was that the flashdrive was hidden and I was unable to find it as it looked like a buckle and not the standard flashdrive. Overall, great book. The seller took a while to respond to my question, but they eventually got back to me explaining where the flashdrive was located.

Advanced Review of Speech-Language Pathology: Preparation for Praxis and Comprehensive Examination

This manual is a resource to which you will refer throughout your speech pathology practice. It is well organized, thorough, well illustrated and comprehensive with everything you need to know to pass the PRAXIS exam. PLUS, it includes a thumb drive (hidden in a band you can wear around your neck) with a series of practice exams that emulate the content and conditions of the PRAXIS exam itself. This was recommended to me by a fellow professional. I cannot recommend it highly enough to you.

The book from dirtcheapbooks4u came as described (new, wrapped) though it would have been nice for them to say it was the book without the flashdrive. I can't drop a star because the item arrived as described and I can't fault the book or seller that, because it was my fault. I don't have time to return and get one that does (because I need to start studying now), so I went ahead and ordered the flash drive from Pro-Ed which is costing me more this way than if I got one with it. Oh well. The seller was true with what they said I would get and it came early!

I haven't started studying yet, but I've skimmed through the book and it has everything we've discussed in classes plus tips on taking and studying for the PRAXIS. Time to study for January Comps and Praxis!

I'll update when I've had a chance to actually study with it.
