Study Strategy
I used the online study cards from quizlet.com. rnhttp://quizlet.com/9534071/texes-art-ec-12-flash-cards/rnThey worked the best as they covered a little bit from every area of the test and gave me a good idea of how the test was going to be. rnrnI didn't have much time to prepare for the test so the flash cards helped the most. For everything else I just relied on my education from college. Had I been able to do it over again, I might have tried to get a hold of a college art history textbook and brushed up on that.
Testing Strategy
The test was much easier than I expected. Other than history, which was my weakest area, I did very well. I would recommend the flashcards and make sure you know major areas of art history. Take any practice tests you can find. On questions pertaining to classroom structure, make sure to choose the most student focused answer or the answer that engages all students equally. Other than that, all I can say is employ good test taking strategies and good luck!
