I recently purchased and downloaded this company's "Comprehensive Success System" for the Praxis II Spanish Content Exam and am sad to say that I was extremely disappointed!

First, the study guide does not have any instructions nor preparation before any of the lessons (if you can call them lessons), which extremely disorganized and incomprehensible.

Second, the questions do not even remotely resemble any of the questions on the Praxis exam.

Third, the site claims the questions are supposed are researched and are supposed to be up to date, however, from their own list of references, the most recent material is from 1999!

Lastly and most important, the study guide contains numerous structural, spelling and grammatical errors.

One example:

This is an example the guide offers as the correct verb usage:

"Llega Pedro el primer"

You either say - llego Pedro primero, llegaba Pedro primero, Pedro es el primero que llego, iba Pedro primero! There is no such word as "primer" in the Spanish language. This was just one example of the multiple errors in this guide.

In addition, I sent an email to their supposed Coach asking a question and instead of receiving some type of educated response showing they had even read the email, I received a form email telling me what questions I shouldn't ask!

I hope I receive a refund as they promised a 100% money back guarantee, no questions asked. I will keep you posted. However, please don't get hooked like I did, it's not worth the $67! You're better off going into the exam cold turkey than using their study guide or practice exam.

Let me see, you're calling me a loser who couldn't get a certification?  Well it's been about a year and half after passing the Praxis that I have been teaching Spanish since I wrote the complaint.  In the complaint I don't make any claims of being an expert and wouldn't have needed to order any aides to take the exam if I were but I do know the Spanish language and know when there are grammatical errors printed in the material they sent out.  My reasons for purchasing the aide are not really any of your business nor does it have anything to do with my complaint.  Therefore, your rebuttal is nonsensical and absurd!  You're basing your allegations on assumptions and I don't think I need to tell you what that makes you.  Thus, please don't post your nonsense until you have something rational and substantive to rebut my post.

This report has been made twice with completely false accusations. The guides are totally helpful, if you choose to study them! I have never heard of someone stating that they know more than a study guide, why buy it if you are so smart?

So many people including me loved their purchase yet there is people trying to discredit them on here. That is just not right. There aren't errors in the guides, if that was true then so many people wouldn't like them very much.

This is just absurd!

I am sure, you select this site to spread scams against Teaching solutions. As i have seen your another report with some excuses here.

Let me clear with your facts again, if you found one problem let them be known by customer care, it could resolve all your problem. You consume this product take the notes from e-book, and, now asking for refund. What a shame. If you have  a desire to be a teacher, please say morals and don't a lie.

They have the best team to set up this guide. Many people get profitged from their service, dont make such scam, it's looks very silly.

They are so loyal about their agreement that's why they refund your money, Please be grateful on them who are helpful for you, God loves them.

Oh my god. Are you kidding? You state, "the study guide doesn't have any instructions." What? Are you retarded? Instructions for what, how to open the book and study it and shut your completely spoiled brat attitude? Are you a 4th grader posting this? Sounds like it.

If you know more than 9th grade Spanish why are you taking an elementary level Praxis Spanish exam?

How do you know the Praxis II Spanish so well? It seems you never took it and are one of those "arm chair" experts who talk a lot but don't know anything or one of those chronic Praxis II test failure losers who have 9th grade academic skills and don't know why they can't get their teacher certification.

You ordered a book and don't like it? Stop blaming a book for your pathetic life. Cry me a river. Nobody likes to study. When you fail you Praxis Spanish test over and over again you just have to look yourself in the mirror and admit someone like you shouldn't be allowed to teach children. The laws in your state should protect children from you. I certainly would never want my daughter or son to be taught by such an imbecil like you.

Why don't you just admit you're a loser and aren't capable of achieving anything other than anonymously writing lies about certified teachers on message boards (That is about people who can actually pass their Praxis II test).

Not only is this company falsely advertising the material they offer the president, Mark Buckingham, is making false representations that he is a certified teacher in numerous states! Some which inlcude - California, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia. No one can be a certified teacher in that many states. Aside from the already execrable material deceitfully presented as graduate college material, Mr. Buckingham is outright making false advertising claims. This website should be shut down!
