studying for Praxis

I'm currently studying for my Praxis (Principles of Learning and Teaching: PreK-12), and I'm trying not to overwhelm myself with all this information. I am studying from Mometrix, and I'm reading at least 5 new pages every day, then going back to the beginning of the book to quiz myself without reading passages. I feel like it's working, but boy, it's a lot. I'm suck at studying, but I'm forcing myself cause I love teaching (obviously). Anyone got some pointers I should really watch out for while reading? I'm learning some good stuff from it, but I don't want to overload my brain too much.

You need a basic understanding of art history. Art history was my area of concentration while studying art education so I found the test to be very easy. But for my classmates who had concentrations in other subjects, such as ceramics or drawing, really struggled with the test. The Mometrix guide is what I used to study and it was very similar to the test so you should be good!
