Title: Not adequate to the task
Product review: It is a shame that in this day and age,that no one has been able to create a viable resource to supplement one's preparation for the MTEL examination. I purchased the book to facilitate my tutoring of a young woman who has grave anxiety regarding the test. I chose this book because it had three sample tests. Unfortunately, the tests did not parallel the MTEL formats and contained many errors and omissions. Often, prompts were not written clearly or had overt editorial errors. In some cases, due to improper editing, it was impossible to decipher the intent of a paragraph.If the purpose of the text is to make the student comfortable with the testing vehicle, then the vehicle must be free from error. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The errors create increased anxiety regarding the test and impede the student's ability to pass. This book is not just insufficient, it it a travesty inflicted upon an already vulnerable group of test takers.
