Study Strategy
I used Certify Teacher and the state prep materials. The test was a lot different from the Certify Teacher exams. Still, it was helpful because it gave me some direction. I also watched a few videos on The Great Courses Plus. Again, those videos just aided in giving me a general direction. Lastly, I read through Strunk and White's "Elements of Style". It was helpful for the writing portion.
Testing Strategy
The test was more difficult than I expected. I didn't spend much time on it. I've seen where people used the entire 5 hours; I took about 2.5 hours. Don't second guess yourself too much. I passed with a 251. It's not a stellar score, but its passing. Focus on what a teacher should do! Ask yourself, "What is the best thing for the student(s) in this situation?" I hope you knock the test out of the park!
