has anyone taken a Praxis I or Praxis II exam for teaching??

I'm currently trying to put together information on it.

I've taken Praxis II for two different content areas.

I assume you're looking for study materials. Not sure exactly what you have access to, but you can order study books from Barnes and Nobles. They're kind of pricey, but well worth it if you ask me. You may not find all the information that you need, but conceptually you'll have covered most of the bases; and if you have a general understanding of the content with strong reasoning skills, you should have no trouble with the test.

If you don't want to buy a book, which I highly recommend you do, then the praxis.org website provides all the objectives along with a few practice tests. You could use that as a starting point to organize your study materials

Let me know if there's anything that I can do to help. Some tests are obviously harder than others, but I went into my Secondary Social Studies test having hardly studied and performed much better than expected -- even on the written content pedagogy portion of the test.
