Good news friends! I passed my Teacher Certification exams! I know quite a few people have asked me how I did it, so I decided to make a video and share some tips! The exams I passed were the TExES (291) EC-6 Core Subjects and 160 (Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities for EC-12. Please watch all the way to the end. I share something that I feel is very valuable. Thanks for watching!

When I sat down for the test my lips were parched. It's important to stay hydrated because that discomfort was real for me. I tackled the supplementary 163 (100 questions) portion, which took me 3 hours. Miraculously, I passed on my first attempt. Throughout the test, I took just one break to drink water and visit the restroom. I made sure to stretch and move around in my chair to stay focused. Surprisingly, I wasn't nervous at all; in fact, I was quite excited to take the test. The last time I took a TExES test was way back in 2010. My test was scheduled for 2:00 PM, but I arrived at the testing center an hour early.

Thank you for this information, because I too took the exam in January after studying the Certify Teacher prep ($120) and my scores were 76s and 78s. After studying for months, I was told by my education advisor that was the wrong study prep I was given, and it should have been 240 Tutoring however, the testing centers were shut down due to the pandemic and I have since graduated (May 2nd). Nonetheless, I have been studying the 240 Tutorials but I need the approval from the College to take the exam, which I need to take this exam soon.

I am using 240Tutoring and the STAAR released tests for EC-6.

Susan Collet oh wow! I wasn't aware that they changed the exam 😬. I used a ton of practice quizzes that I found online to study and the REA book. All of the links are in the description box.

@TeachQueenQ 4 года назад

I just checked the Pearson website where you register for the exams. I don't see the option to register for the PACT Ec-6 exam, but the TEXES version is still available. I read somewhere that if you take the PPR exam, you cannot take the PACT exam. Since the test is so new, I haven't really heard anyone talk about it.

Hello! Do you have any advice on how to study for the math part of the test? How and where do I get practice math problems? I have the book and I am also subscribed to 240 tutoring. It’s a little irritating that we are only given one hour to complete the math part with 47 questions. Do you have suggestions on how to manage your time during the test on test day? I have passed all sections of the EC-6 core exam except for the math. I have scheduled to take it on the 28th of this month. This will be my fourth time to take it. The first time I missed it by two points. Second time I bombed it really bad. The third time I missed it by five points. I figured I will pass it this time around. I am super close. I am so ready to pass this test and move on to the next test. If you have any advice for the math part please feel free to share. I am open for any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

@TeachQueenQ 4 года назад

Hello Keisha! I'm so sorry you're having a hard time with the math portion of the exam. It is hard to say what you should use to study without knowing your scores. I would definitely start by determining which competency had the most incorrect answers (My weakest area was competency 1). If you have your scorecards handy, compare your scores in the competencies to see if there is a pattern. Then I would focus on studying the areas you struggled with the most. 1 hour is short for 47 questions and I even struggled to finish the last question before the time ran out. So my time management recommendation is to choose the best answer, but don't spend too much time agonizing over the problem. Watch the clock (give yourself 5-10 minutes if you can) and flag the questions you're not sure about or feel like you want to take another look at before submitting. I also try not to change my answers because my first choice is normally the right answer and sometimes I get the answer wrong if I change it. For practice on the math test, I used this study manual from the TEA website because I felt these questions mimic the real test. www.tx.nesinc.com/content/docs/291PrepManual.pdf A few other resources I found that have practice questions www.coresubjectsec-6.com/ pact.tarleton.edu/tcert/Content/Documents/Math%20Presentation%20PP.pdf And these Quizlets have a lot of math terms that I think may be useful. quizlet.com/_4jbu18?x=1jqt&i=1lc9fr quizlet.com/_5z3vg8?x=1jqt&i=1lc9fr I also think that using 240Tutoring and the prep book should help you study once you figure out where you are struggling. There are also a few RU-vid videos out that may help with the math portion. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TAjs1jZWjcY.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vJ1UofYSOao.html I hope this helps! :)

@keishacoleman2815 4 года назад

TeachQueenQ Thank you so much for all of your information and advice. I am definitely going to be using it. I will also be using the resources you listed. When I was so close on each competency. I may have missed it by one or two. I just wish there was a way I could know which questions count and which ones don’t. That is ok. I have 27 days to study like a mad person and get it done. Thanks again for everything

On the real exam, the questions don't repeat. I'm not sure why they do on the practice exams, but it's possible they do that to reinforce the information.

@THE.TINYTEACHERCo. 4 года назад

am just hoping that the math protion wont be too terrible.

@TeachQueenQ 4 года назад

Hi Amy! I didn't feel that it was painfully hard, but I also love math. Competency #1 of the math test has the most questions and that is where the majority of my missed questions came from. Most of the questions are about the application and not so much solving the problem. - Competency 001 (Mathematics Instruction): The teacher understands how students learn mathematical skills and use that knowledge to plan, organize and implement instruction and assess learning. I remember having to work out a couple questions but I didn't feel that they were extremely hard. Most of the test looks just like the questions in this study manual. I worked through these a couple times and some of the ones in the links that I put in the description bar. www.tx.nesinc.com/content/docs/291PrepManual.pdf So I looked at my scorecard and there were 40 questions on the math portion of the test. I answered 28/40 questions correctly which should have been 70% (aka not passing). I passed with a 269/300 (aka 89.6%)! After I did my calculations it seems that they discarded about 10 questions. I can't guarantee how many questions you shouldn't miss, so I'll just say try not to miss more than 12! I hope this helps!

You are not allowed to use a calculator on the math section. When I took the test, they gave me a spiral bound booklet with like 4 pages. Be mindful of your time on the math portion, some of those questions are pretty wordy. I hope this helps.

When should I start tutoring for the TExES Exam? I'm a special education major and I've heard that the exam is very hard.

It really depends on how devoted you are to studying. I studied for 1 month, but I was taking 6 classes at the time.

Hi! Would you say the REA practice test mimic the real test?

@TeachQueenQ 5 месяцев назад

Yes but I would use more than one resource/book to practice with 😊

@vicentesantiagocruz4515 4 года назад

Math is not hard to learn, but I'm haven't passed the Math section because some of the Math problems have long paragraphs to read. Is hard to read more than half the Math problems in less than an hour period, so I panic and the timer goes off! How can I prepare myself to better understand those reading Math problems?!!!!

@TeachQueenQ 4 года назад

Vicente Santiago Cruz I totally understand your frustration about having to read paragraphs on the math portion of the exam. I was racing the clock to finish my last math question, so I completely understand. 1. If you're confident that the time frame is the issue of the math portion, try taking a practice math exam in the time frame they provide for the real exam. (47 questions in 1 hour) 2. I really utilized the highlight and strike through feature during the exam. Try to highlight important information in the question AND answer choices and strike through answer choices that are obviously incorrect. - When I took the exam I would highlight words or phrases in the answer choice that may indicate the answer is correct. I think this helped me to focus and remember my thinking just in case I decide to revisit the question. 3. For questions that take a lot of time you have to make habit of choosing the most favorable choice QUICKLY. It won't help you to spend more than 2 minutes on 1 question, so flag it and come back to it when you have time.

I'm schedule to take the 161 exam special education May 19th, I currently work as a special ed aide. My question is if 20 question isn't counted want this hurt your score rather than help it?

@TeachQueenQ 4 года назад

Hi Brandy P! The number of questions that aren't scored varies for everyone. I don't believe this hurts you, because its kinda like the score is graded on a curve. I can't really explain it, but I plan to record a video on this. Here is a link from Pearson where I found this information. I hope this helps! Good luck on your exam! www.tx.nesinc.com/PageView.aspx?f=HTML_FRAG/GENRB_ScoringFAQ.html

@TeachQueenQ 4 года назад

B. Tate it really depends on which exam you are taking. For the EC-6 CORE EXAM you are not allowed to use a calculator. If you are talking a different exam they will provide an on screen calculator if it is allowed. You can verify by choosing your exam on this website and it will be listed for you www.tx.nesinc.com/PageView.aspx?f=GEN_Tests.html

@TeachQueenQ 4 года назад

I studied for 1 month. I am not a great test taker, so I wanted to make sure I knew as much as possible before I took the test.

@TeachQueenQ 4 года назад

This is what my study schedule looked like. *Keep in mind that this is what worked for me. Week 1 - Read and take notes on each section/ subject/domain - I made sure to take notes of anything that was new information to me. Week 2 - Read over your notes every day/ make a quizlet over acronyms, dates, or hard to remember terms. Week 3 - Take a practice quiz every few days. *Make sure they are different because you don't want to memorize the answer. (there are a few in the description bar) Week 4 - *Look at the competencies you struggle the most with and study, study, study that information again. Then take another practice quiz to see if you're making progress When I finally made an 80 or higher I knew I was ready.

@fashionablylate6860 4 года назад

TeachQueenQ Thank you, I will ! I guess I’m trying to figure out if you don’t get a 80 precent or above on each section is it automatically a fail or will your EPP not take you.

@TeachQueenQ 4 года назад

Oh I understand. So if you fail one subject of the exam it counts as Not passed for the entire exam. But you only have to retake the subject you failed. It's your EPPs decision if they will accept your scores.

I've heard some people say that their EPP or employer accepted them on a probationary period until they passed their exam. I hope this helps 😊

Hi! I just got my PPR results , I score a 239 , I failed by 1 point. I study quizlet , 240 and the $10 practice exam. What do you suggest for me to do? I have taken it twice and fail. I’m so devastated.

@TeachQueenQ 4 года назад

Hi! I'm so sad to hear that because you were so close. I failed that PPR exam that my university's EPP requires twice, so I understand how frustrating it can be. My recommendation for you during the waiting period is to look closely at your score cards side by side. Look for the competencies that you're weakest in. See if there are any similarities between the competencies you're struggling with on both scorecards. I would really focus only those areas the most. If you still have 240tutoring.com, you can study by competency. Also, there are free practice tests out that the TEA provides for free. I think that this is as close to the type of questions on the state exam. If you don't know how to access them, I show how to find them in part three of this series. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F3mwA86Qi9c.html I hope this helps! 😊
