In this proprietary report, you'll discover how it's possible to
walk into the exam room with your brain already geared for success
and peak performance on the Praxis II.


**How To Achieve A Praxis II Test-Taking Peak Performance Mind Set**


An exam will test both the knowledge and skill that you hold, and
your ability to get that knowledge out of your brain and into
action. If your mind isn't in tip-top condition when you step into
the exam room, you're not going to get the results you deserve.


You create the future in advance by what you think about all day.
If you don't believe you'll pass chances are you won't. This is
where a Praxis II test coach can help keep you motivated and focused
on success.


Here's ONE (of many) ways to make sure your mind is programmed for
success when you need it most on the Praxis II:



***Know The Material... Backwards***


Obviously, if you know your stuff, the Praxis II exam is always
going to be easier than if you guess all the way through it. But to
be really at your best, it's not enough to know a bunch of facts.


You want to be able to step inside the head of the Praxis II test
creators to understand their methods and testing theories.
Then, you'll "out think" their Praxis II test questions.


As you look at old Praxis II tests, ask yourself why the examiners
choose those particular questions, why they asked them in that way
and what they're trying to test. Things that have been on the
Praxis II in previous exams will be on your exam in a different form
because it is a standardized test.


That's how, with research and teacher interviews, the Praxis II
Comprehensive Success System was developed and has been
so successful.
When you purchase your Praxis II Comprehensive Success System,
you'll receive a custom series of proprietary reports that'll tell
in exquisite detail how to create a test-day action plan that is
guaranteed to work. Having a plan in hand to crack the exam will
help you to succeed on the test and make the Praxis II less scary.

Subject: Total Panic! Avoid Running-Out Of Time During
Your Praxis II Test


Do you worry about running-out of time on your test? Running-out
of time on your Praxis II test is TOTAL panic! DON'T worry.


You need to invest the time given to maximize your return on test
points. You need to pace yourself. Spend your time on questions you
have a very good chance of getting correct. Spend very little time
laboring over questions you don't have any idea what the answer is.


Develop a sense of calm urgency. You want to be aware of the time,
not to get you nervous. Just the opposite, so you can relax your
mind, concentrate and know how much time you can spend on each
question. You'll leave yourself time at the end so lower your
stress and so your best.


*Don't assume your testing room has a clock in it. So wear a watch
and use it!


*Take 100% responsibility for time by knowing how much time is left
at various intervals.



How To Correctly Pace Yourself On Your Praxis II


For tests that contain ONLY selected response (multiple choice)
questions, do the following:


1.) Calculate the AVERAGE TIME PER QUESTION (ATQ) for your test. If
you spend much more than this on the questions, you'll run out of
time before answering them all. To do this divide the test time
(in minutes) by the number of questions on the test. For example,
if the test has 50 questions and the time is 120 minutes,
120/50 = 2.4 minutes per question.


2.) Round the ATQ DOWN to the nearest minute to arrive at your
working ATQ. In the above example, you would round down to 2
minutes per question. If the ATQ is a whole number of minutes,
subtract 30 seconds from it. For example, if the initial ATQ is 2
minutes, the revised ATQ is 1.5 minutes.


NOTE: Make sure you do these first two steps BEFORE the day of the
exam.


3.) Go through the entire test one question at a time -- QUICKLY! As
you encounter questions that you can do within the ATQ, do them
right then, and keep moving. Also, if you encounter a question you
have no chance of figuring out (there will be some) make a mark next
to it and save it for the end. KEEP AN EYE ON THE TIME.


4.) After you've gone through the test once using this tactic, go
back and tackle the questions you skipped. Work hard on each (in any
order from "easiest" to "hardest") for no more that the ATQ. If you
think you're within a minute of solving a problem when the ATQ has
passed, KEEP GOING and FINISH IT, otherwise mark it to come back to
it later. KEEP AN EYE ON THE TIME.


5.) As you work on the harder questions, and even if you still can't
decide on the correct answer, CROSS OUT answers you are pretty sure
are NOT correct. This will save time later, and improve your score,
when you're in final guessing mode.


6.) Now you've gone through your Praxis II questions twice,
answering the majority of them. If you followed the ATQ
method there will be time left. Subtract one minute from the time
remaining -- this is the time you have to answer the remaining
questions intelligently without guessing. Use your own discretion
to decide which ones to work on. Mark the ones you still can't
figure out. When there is one minute left on the test --THAT'S IT,
TIME TO GUESS.


7.) In the last minute, go through the Praxis II test and guess on
the unanswered questions. If you marked the problems earlier, you
should find the ones requiring a guess quickly and have no problem
making sure every question is answered before the proctor calls
time. LEAVE NO QUESTIONS UNANSWERED.
