TExES Exam..


Today was the first representative TEXES exam for the month of October. This has been my first one since this semester. I prepared myself by studying and using certify teacher before today. Since there are so many deadlines in a couple of weeks, I have been really frustrated and anxious to pass this test. Not only do I want to pass it so I will be able to student teach, but I feel if I pass it will also make me more qualified. If I can understand and apply everything I learn and study to the test questions, then it will make me an overall smarter person. I had four hours to complete the test and I used three of those hours. The test was pretty much like certify teacher so I was familiar with the different sections. Just like certify teacher, my most struggling areas are Math and Science. These are the main two areas I am always studying because my understanding of the content is not too strong. Today, I just went in to take the test with a positive attitude which is always important. It is not helpful to go in with too many things on your mind. I also took my time and analyzed each question for what they were. Another good strategy I always use is the process of elimination and it helps me with the questions that are very difficult to answer. The overall test takes preparation, practice, and plenty of studying. Taken in consideration all the helpful tips and resources I have been given, I know I will be certified in Generalist EC-6 sooner than later.

  1. Do you have actual content questions like "which fraction represents the simplified form of 37/4?" or is it more like "Mr. Jones wants to teach fractions. Which approach would help students understand numerators?"
