Study Strategy
I mostly used Certify Teacher to prepare for the test. I also used notes from my previous classes that I've taken that had to do with ELAR content. I studied for about 30 minutes a day, for about 3 weeks. I feel that Certify Teacher helped a lot with how the test is set up, but eventually it became not as effective because I began memorizing the answers.
Testing Strategy
The test is difficult. It seemed as if every answer was correct on the test. I did the first 50 questions and then went back to the ones that I had marked for review. After that, I took a bathroom/mental break and came back and powered through the last 50 questions. When reading the questions, understand what they're REALLY asking. I left the testing center, just knowing I had failed the test. I took the test on a Wednesday and got my results on a Friday morning and I had passed on the first try! ! You can do this!
