Linda,
The sample questions in the content guide seem to match in regards to content type and difficulty to the questions in the first practice test I took. Of course the practice test having 100 questions gives you a broader view and introduces other test topics.
From what I have seen, if you are planning on taking this exam, the practice tests seem like they are well worth the cost.
One other thing, in regards to the questions, careful reading of the questions helps to eliminate at least one or two of the choices, so for me if the question was one I could not answer I was able to narrow down my choices.
Also I got a 67 on my first practice exam without any practice or introduction to the terms, etc. (other then exposure from raising 3 sons) but if you have experience in a classroom you might be more familiar with terms such as K-W-L, IRI,Cloze, semantic mapping, etc.
I hope to take this exam by the end of July, I will post my score afterward.
