CAUTION:
Before purchasing test preparation/study guide materials for the WEST-B or WEST-E tests sold by third party vendors, be certain the test codes indicated on the materials match the codes for WEST-B and WEST-E tests. Some materials say, “WEST-E Health/Fitness" or "WEST-E Biology” but use the test codes for Praxis II tests. Those materials may not be fully aligned with the WEST-B or WEST-E tests.
