Honestly, the test that I took had NUMEROUS questions about them. I would be curious to see if other test takers share your experience; the test may well be changing and I wasn't aware, or perhaps you just got a different version. No matter what, I hope that you did well! ~Jamie~ Hey J,

Another great resource can be found here: http://www3.uakron.edu/education/PraxisII/praxisIInew.htm On the version of the test that I was given, there were only 2 or 3 questions where I had to identify the title/author of a given passage, so I felt that it was a waste of time reviewing all the plot summaries/characters of the 100 works listed. The answer to most questions could be determined as long as you knew the lit periods, major authors and themes. I would suggest spending a lot of time studying that. There was a good bit of poetry, so be prepared to scan a poem and identify feet/meter. Best wishes to all! I took the English content 0041 last week and used this study guide to prepare.

Also, a vast majority of the test will evaluate your technical English skills. If you don't know what an iambic pentameter is or what Assonance is I would review before taking it.
