Study & Test Strategies

Strategy 1

Submitted by Texas Teachers

Study Strategy

I took off work and crammed for a couple of days. I used Jim Becka's workbook. It was very helpful and free right now: http://www.texestechnologyapplicationsin30days.com. I also went through the Region 4 book.

Testing Strategy

I was weakest in the web design section and had to put a little more effort into studying those areas before taking the test. Overall, it was easier than I expected.

Strategy 2

Study Strategy

I read a comment someone posted about a book called TExES Technology Applications in 30 Days by Jim Becka. I went online and purchased it and it was exactly what was on the test. I made sure I knew everything in the book and used the preparation manual the state gives you as a checklist. I studied for about a month.

Testing Strategy

It was a pretty straight forward test. Jim Becka's book was extremely helpful. The only section that really threw me off was web mastering section. It was towards the end of the manual and I was pretty tired of studying when I got to it.
