I just passed my TExES Science of Teaching Reading (293) exam, thanks to the Prephow practice tests. They covered phonological and phonemic awareness really well, with questions that mirrored the real thing. The explanations helped me nail down weak spots in print concepts and alphabet knowledge. Totally worth it for anyone prepping.

I passed my TExES Science of Teaching Reading exam after using Prephow's study material bought it online and it delivered. Strong focus on phonics skills and fluency building. The comprehension sections matched what I saw on test day. Definitely authentic and useful.
