What do candidates write to me about?
I receive about 4-5 emails a week seeking help about becoming a teacher, help preparing for the teaching credential exam and ordering my Q Banks. Some letters have been very slightly modified for privacy reasons. When this has been done, [EDITED] shall appear. Usually, this is information that a correspondent might not wish displayed publicly.
NEVER is the substance of the communication in any fashion ALTERED. Otherwise, spelling mistakes are customarily fixed!
The paramount objective in reproducing these mail is to let prospective candidates know that they are not alone in their "unique" circumstances! Chaps routinely write to
* seek "career" advice
* inquire about preparing for the test
* request solutions for a Math problem that befuddles them
* find out more about my Q Banks for the 3 Subtests
* ask about how to order the Q Banks
* inform me of the success they derived from using my materials!

Thank you for your response. My father purchased math subset 1 and 2 from you yesterday. I am excited to get them and begin studying. I will have completed my NCLB in math in July 2009, so that means I have taken 30 + units in math. I currently have my BS in Business from [EDITED] (June 2007) and my Multi-Subject Cred. from [EDITED] (May 2008). I have been subbing and putting myself out there but I feel like I am one of millions who need a teaching job. I am really hoping that I take the Exam in July and pass it. How long do I need to study each day if I receive them on Thursday of this week. Also, if you get chance please check out my website that I have been emailing out to principals to help get my name out there.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or advice on how to better my chances of getting a job. Thank you for your time and patience:)
I really appreciate your website and huge support!! Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, Jay:
If you recall, I bought a bunch of stuff from you for Praxis 5161 test prep. I got word today], that I finally passed it. It's supposed to be the most difficult component of the credentialing, and in this sense, I feel I'm "over the hump."
This is to let you know I couldn't have done it without you, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am also writing to pass along a suggestion or two, which would take you a minimum of time and effort to implement, and which might make it that much easier on the next slob in my position who stumbles onto your website :)
Now, the simulated constructed-response problems in the front of your Question Banks are lovely. I spent a lot of time with them in the first several months of my preparation, and they're really great. But you know what ultimately helped me the most on the test? It was having a friend use your guidelines to compile your practice multiple-choice questions into practice tests, then give them to me to take. I really wish I had done this much more seriously, sooner. It may have saved me lots of time and anguish.
How about including a "How to Use the Question Banks" discussion prominently, either on your website, or in the materials themselves? Or perhaps it was there all along, and I didn't see it...
Your questions are superb. They're thoughtfully designed and life-like -- in contrast to those in certain self-help materials I got from the bookstore--and I appreciate that you've included enough of them to actually allow users significant practice with the test format. Which the practice sets in all the precalculus textbooks in the world aren't going to provide. Your materials are a mite expensive, compared to what you find in the bookstore, but are they a value? Yes, I believe they are. Am I going to recommend you to others in my position? Yes, I believe I will.
Am I even going to go to a bit of extra effort to publicize you--say, approach the local county Office of Education about your helpful, still one-of-a-kind products? Yes, I may do that, too.
So, again, Jay. Thanks so much. With the Praxis finally out of the way ,things are looking much more promising for me than they were, and it is with renewed confidence that I finally get ready to start my credential program...

Hello Jay:
My voice joins the others who said "how they encountered Qs that were very similar to those they found on the test and how comfortable they felt as a consequence of their painstaking and meticulous preparation"
I consider your packet of information (journal entries from the website, extensive sets of problems and answers, final two extensive emails) to be an answer to my prayers. I am certain I would not have performed nearly at the level that I did without them.
I only got your question bank two weeks prior to the test. I spent at minimum 8 hours / day for 10 of the next 14 days (quite a juggle with my busy family of five!) working through the entire packet. Complimenting this exercise was my referencing several texts, and online resources suggested by you containing some practice notes and problems also.
Your timely phone call one day (when your emails couldn't get through) when you helped me with the Chi-Squared analysis filled in one remaining gap.
I took a generous amount of time taking just the one sub-test on Saturday. I worked and reworked problems to double-check. I have to say that I felt very confident about my answer to each of the multiple choice, save one.
And I found most of the Questions to be do-able. So many of the problems were similar to what I had seen in your pack and having 'practiced' with a variety of techniques of solving and proving outcomes, I felt very fluid in applying those same patterns to the test questions.
Here are my remembrances of some problems from the test. I preface it by saying again, that so many of the questions were similar to what you had in your packet. Certainly don't remove any problems from your
packet. They were more than sufficient. [EDITED]
I will let you know what my score is when I receive it. The statistics from the link you sent today regarding passing percentages are dismal for math. The high scores for some other subject matters help to explain why friends I know who took other subject areas seem to think that the Praxis content knowledge tests are no big deal...
I must say that I walked out of the test feeling very confident.
Thanks in good part to your materials which informed my diligent study.
So thank you.
Anne W
PS. I will be happy to contact the local school district to make them aware of your materials. I think you are aware that there is a link to your site on one of the first pages of the math courseware, which is how I discovered you the first time.

Jay,
First of all, I want to let you know that I took 2 1/2 weeks off of work to dedicate myself to your Package 3 question bank for Geometry/Statistics. I gotta tell you, I was so confident when I arrived at the test site. In fact, I had just enough time to spread the word about your excellent and resourceful website to 4 people. All of them were asking each other what kinds of study materials were used to prepare for the test, and none of them had a concrete resource. Furthermore, this test was about the 3rd or 4th time taken between all of them.
Therefore I decided to butt in and tell them about your magnificent website and Q Banks at that moment I had nearly everyone's attention who were holding graphing calculators!! Some of them wished they met me a month ago :)
I answered all of the MCQ's all within the time limit. I actually understood the questions term-for-term and not staring into the ceiling while tapping my nose with the pencil!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for existing on the face of this earth!!

Hi Jay,
It has been a rather stressful month for me. Unfortunately, my plan of studying for four hours daily was pushed aside when [EDITED]. Timing is everything. I was behind to begin with and I could not make up this additional lost time.
Needless to say I did not have the 'heart' to focus much on preparation. However, I did manage to get through the test fairly competently and I did manage a response to all questions. Perhaps I will squeak through. Several of the questions (if not more) were virtually identical.

So, I have to pass these tests. I have heard good things about your resources.
On your website, you mentioned that you might be willing to meet in a mutually convenient location. I would be very excited to do that, if that is something you still do. Thanks for the help and I look forward to meeting with you, if possible.

Hello,
I want to thank you for listing type of materials to get to prepare for the math Praxis 5161 exam. I found the info useful, took my test and think I did well on the algebra portions. However, I do not think I was comfortable on the Geometry and Calculus sections. I need to retake it for sure. Please let me know what prep materials you have and how to get it.
Thanks
