Study Strategy
I purchased the Mometrix LOTE - Spanish to study. It was ok; it gives you an idea of what to expect on the test and the type of questions that you may encounter. I also downloaded and printed as much material on the 5Cs. Practice, practice and practice!
Testing Strategy
The test is NOT hard. Your enemy is time; everything is timed and this gets to you and applies unnecessary pressure. You MUST manage your time very well to answer the questions. The Spanish parts are easy, if you know Spanish and are acquainted with the cultural aspects. The writing essays were not too terrible. Prepare for the lesson planning; it is one of the last items on the test and by the time you get there, you will be tired. The 5Cs are CRITICAL; you must have read and practiced this type of question. There are many questions and you have few seconds to answer them. I passed on my first try with a 265.
