Not Worth It
This study guide is vague and filled with mistakes.The manual contains a number of grammatical errors and incorrect answers to "sample test problems." There are also errors in the sections where this guide is informing the reader on how to use punctuation correctly.This guide wasted my valuable study time and I want my money back!

XAM MTEL - Communication and Literacy book
If you're planning on taking the Communication and Literacy exam for the MTEL, DO NOT purchase this book.I was expecting the book's content to be similar to the MTEL's content.It wasn't.It was a waste of $30 or $40....

If Amazon gave me the option of entering "0" stars, that's what I'd give it.

Good luck...

Disappointing
This book seems to be an adaptation of a generic study guide for any teacher certification test to the Massachusetts test. It has almost no information specific to the MTEL. By comparison with the quality of the books available for the GRE, which really help you target your preparation appropriately and give you specific strategies to use for that particular test, I found this book very disappointing. It gave me nothing I couldn't get from the on-line materials available for free at the MTEL web site. ... Read more
