Who has taken it? How does it compare to the GRE?
I am specifically looking at the Library Media Specialist (0311) classification 11/13/2012 2:27:46 AM |

My wife took that test about six years ago. It's entirely different from the GRE. In addition to questions specific to the library science degree, she said there were a lot of "who wrote this book" sort of literary trivia questions. 11/13/2012 8:57:54 PM |

I don't have a library science degree but I do have a media studies degree and a literature degree
I think if I studied the right books I'd be able to conquer this test 11/13/2012 11:23:09 PM |

I always thought of it as that test you need to take to become a teacher. 1/20/2013 2:48:56 AM |

No clue about the Praxis since I work in a public library, but the library science portion ought to be simple enough. It's pretty common sense stuff and I rage against the MLS machine all the time. 6/26/2013 11:52:53 PM |

My wife took it for primary education certification. She actually took 2 of them, can't remember the exact names.
To study, she did a lot of the sample tests found on the praxis website and also bought a praxis study guide online.
I remember the day she took it because we had to drive down to Fayetteville State. I dropped her off and hung around Fayetteville at the mall until she was done. After the test, she felt like she had done decent, but said it was a lot more intense than she thought (especially with the time limits).
However, when she got her results (which took 1-2 months), she passed with flying colors... Knocked it out of the park. 7/6/2013 8:03:32 PM |
