A Praxis 1 Testing Lecture About Time Management

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 17:23:26 -0400

I know what you're thinking: a Praxis 1 testing lecture? Who in their right mind would want to put up with yet another lecture about the ETS Praxis 1? But trust me, this has nothing to do with testing knowledge for the vocabulary section, or how to memorize math formulas in less time. This is a very different type of lecture - one that focuses on a crucial part of passing this exam. That's right - I'm talking about time management. You know that in order to pass the Praxis 1, you need to answer a certain number of questions correctly within an allotted period of time. But as a test coach, I've seen too many students focus on getting those correct answers... ...And not enough time focusing on time management itself. Praxis 1 Time is Not on Your Side Let's face it: it doesn't matter how smart you are, or how much testing knowledge you've got up your sleeve. Because if you don't have enough time to apply it all on the exam, then you've got absolutely no chance of passing this notoriously difficult exam. **End Summary** Topics: Praxis 1 test]]> Praxis 1 testing]]> ETS Praxis 1]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Get more of the best Praxis 1 Testing that's proven to net you your teaching certification right now!

FTCE Test Secrets that Every A+ Student Knows

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 13:33:17 -0400

Whether you're one of them or you can't stand them, one thing's for certain: A+ students continually outperform on the FTCE test year after year. For the rest of my test prep students who don't achieve this pinnacle of success, watching those A+ students master everything can be somewhat annoying. They start to believe that it's something in their DNA that sets them up for success. Or that their brains are secretly the size of basketballs. Or that they were visited by the good-luck fairy at birth, and are destined to live a life of success forevermore. Sure, some of it seems a bit far-fetched. And I know that the majority of anger that my students direct at a few chosen peers stems from jealousy more than anything else. After all, why are these future certified teachers so successful... ...Even when it seems as though some of them have barely glanced at their FTCE study guides? I'm always up for a challenge. And when I heard my future teachers grumbling over how John or Susan got yet another perfect score on their practice tests, I knew it was time to do some reconnaissance work. **End Summary** Topics: FTCE test]]> FTCE study guides]]> FTCE test preparation]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Want to know what other questions, FTCE Test tips and secrets I discovered during our conversation?

When it comes to CSET test preparation, it's no secret that you and your fellow test takers have prepared every nerve in your body for failure. You don't have to take my word for it. All you have to do is perk up your ears in your next study group...count up how many times your study guides mention it...heck, even test forums are packed with anxious test takers all worried about one thing: Failing.

Have you ever had one of those GACE test preparation weeks where you felt like there was a theme or lesson attached to it? For my test prep students and I, this week definitely centered on the brain. Not just how it functions when it comes to storing up test information, formulas and dates, but other things as well. Things like how it responds to GACE testing at certain times of the day. How it responds under test anxiety and pressure. And here's the big one that took up a huge chunk of this week's class... ...How your brain works to overcome its greatest productivity killers. The GACE Test Battle For Mental Control You know exactly what I'm talking about here. They may be different for each and every person, but trust me: when it comes to test practice, there are two forces battling it out for your attention.

MCAT Experts Debate the Merits of Testing Intuition

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 13:13:03 -0400

While you've been devoting your time to MCAT practice, a quiet war has been brewing over the MCAT test... ...And as a test-taker, the winner will ultimately have an enormous effect on your score. On the one hand, you've got your experts who believe that "testing intuition" (that funny feeling you get when you're sure an answer's right) is the greatest ally you can have in the fight for better test prep. On the other hand, you've got an increasing number of test experts who believe that this "testing intuition" is just another test trap that many students fall for. They argue that testing intuition tends to be foolhardy. Instead, it's the result of falling for one of several traps laid out by tricky test questions. So who's right, and who's not so right? And when it comes to your MCAT practice, which side should you find yourself on... ...The belief in testing intuition, or the belief in cold-hard logic?

The PLACE Test Guide to Programming Yourself for Success

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 13:12:23 -0400

If you're gearing up to take your PLACE test, then chances are that you've encountered plenty of these promises made by several study guides: * "Use our PLACE test study guide to prepare for your exam, and you're guaranteed to raise your exam score by at least 80 points!" * "Our students do better when they use our test preparation - and now you can be one of them." These promises might give you hope that you've finally found your ultimate destination for PLACE testing. But as a test coach, I've got a bone to pick with these promises. In other words, I want to call them out. Call me a bit of a stick-in-the-mud if you'd like, but I find it very hard to believe that a cookie-cutter test study guide can be directly responsible for your test success. Doesn't it seem grandiose to you? To suggest that by simply reading over a study guide, you'll suddenly be armed with the test preparation knowledge you need to skyrocket your score?

GRE Study Reveals How We're Worked into a Frenzy

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 13:07:03 -0400

It's official: when it comes to GRE test takers, they're a nation of stressheads. A recent survey conducted by a herbal remedy brand revealed that of 2,372 test takers, 99% claimed that they felt stressed about their test preparation at least once per day. The study also concluded that of these anxiety sufferers, 35% have missed at least one day's work of work or school due to stress over GRE study. But for the rest of students preparing to realize their graduate school dreams, this isn't really news at all. In fact, it's a part of everyday life when it comes to GRE practice. Let's face it: a small amount of stress is expected in any practice schedule. Heck, sometimes it's even good for you! But what is this stress and anxiety doing to our health... ...And what steps can we take to stop it?

Praxis 2 Test Experts Reveals Tips on How to Let Go

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 13:04:52 -0400

As a Praxis 2 test expert, I'm often asked what's the biggest mistake a test taker can make while they're staring an actual test question in the face. I'm only happy to oblige these types of questions with an answer - but first, I require that every person must come up with their own answers first. I like to think of it as the Socratic Praxis 2 study method: I won't reveal the answer to you unless you can first come across the answer yourself. So I sit back and relax as my students attempt to come up with their own answers. And this is just a sampling of what they believe to be the ultimate mistakes to commit on those test dates: * "I think that not getting used to sitting in a chair and staring at a computer screen for so long can really drain your testing stamina." (Intriguing, but not the correct answer); * "Well, I believe that not understanding how the questions are arranged can bring down your score."

CLEP Test Expert Reveals How to Get Your Mojo Back

As a CLEP test expert, I often encounter the same questions regarding the exam, like: * "How can I be sure that my CLEP practice is up to scratch?" * "Do you believe that guesstimating really works?" * "Are there certain formulas and vocabulary terms that are guaranteed to show up on the exam?" As I said, the usual suspects. But every once in awhile, a student approaches me with a concern of a different kind. And that concern often sparks a totally new way of thinking about test prep study.

ASVAB Test Debate: Study Your Weaknesses or Cater to Your Strengths?

When it comes to the best preparation for the ASVAB test, most test experts agree that a bullet-proof study schedule, a top-quality ASVAB study guide and the determination to succeed are all important to guaranteeing the ultimate test success. But look just beyond the surface of this seemingly universal agreement, and you'll notice something entirely different altogether: those same test experts are quickly taking sides.
