I just recently took the Physics Praxis 2 in November and passed it
with no problem. It did help that I first received my bachelor's in
physics but it's not impossible to pass this test. The book that
really helped me with it was Physics Super Review by Research &
Education Association. the ISBN is 978-0878910878. It has everything
broken down for you with practice problems in it! The best part is
it's only 10 dollars!!! I highly recommend it. Good luck
