Study Secrets Online Course<\/a><\/div>\n<\/span>Test Day<\/h2>\nYou should arrive at the testing center 15-30 minutes prior to the scheduled exam time in order to leave enough time for the check-in process. Once you arrive, you will be asked to present one form of valid photo ID. If you forget to bring your ID or your ID is invalid, you will not be permitted to take the exam.<\/p>\n
After the check-in process, you will be asked to leave all personal items in a locker outside the testing area. This includes your phone, any electronic communication device, bag\/purse, hat, food, and any smoking\/vaping devices. If you wear eyeglasses, they will be inspected by a testing center agent before you enter the testing room.<\/p>\n
Once you enter the testing room, you will be asked to sign an NDA, and you will be given a brief tutorial on the testing system. Once the tutorial is complete, the exam will begin.<\/p>\n
You are allowed to take a restroom break during the exam, but the timer will not be paused while you are away.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How the Exam is Scored<\/h2>\nThe Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities EC\u201312 (160) exam is scored on a scale of 100-300.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/span>How to Prepare for the Exam<\/h2>\n<\/span>How to Study Effectively<\/h3>\nYour success on TExES test day depends not only on how many hours you put into preparing but also on whether you prepared the right way. It\u2019s good to check along the way to see whether your studying is paying off. One of the most effective ways to do this is by taking TExES practice tests to evaluate your progress. Practice tests are useful because they show exactly where you need to improve. Every time you take a free Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities EC\u201312 exam practice test, pay special attention to these three groups of questions:<\/p>\n
\n- The questions you got wrong<\/li>\n
- The ones you had to guess on, even if you guessed right<\/li>\n
- The ones you found difficult or slow to work through<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This will show you exactly what your weak areas are and where you need to devote more study time. Ask yourself why each of these questions gave you trouble. Was it because you didn\u2019t understand the material? Was it because you didn\u2019t remember the vocabulary? Do you need more repetitions on this type of question to build speed and confidence? Dig into those questions and figure out how you can strengthen your weak areas as you go back to review the material.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Answer Explanations<\/h3>\nAdditionally, many TExES (160) practice tests have a section explaining the answer choices. It can be tempting to read the explanation and think that you now have a good understanding of the concept. However, an explanation likely only covers part of the question\u2019s broader context. Even if the explanation makes sense, go back and investigate every concept related to the question until you\u2019re positive you have a thorough understanding.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Comprehend Each Topic<\/h3>\nAs you go along, keep in mind that the TExES practice test is just that: practice. Memorizing these questions and answers will not be very helpful on the actual test because it is unlikely to have any of the same exact questions. If you only know the right answers to the sample questions, you won\u2019t be prepared for the real thing. Study the concepts until you understand them fully, and then you\u2019ll be able to answer any question that shows up on the test.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Strategy for TExES Practice<\/h3>\nWhen you\u2019re ready to start taking practice tests, follow this strategy:<\/p>\n
\n- Remove Limitations.<\/strong> Take the first test with no time constraints and with your notes and TExES Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities study guide handy. Take your time and focus on applying the strategies you\u2019ve learned.<\/li>\n
- Time Yourself.<\/strong> Take the second practice test \u201copen book\u201d as well, but set a timer and practice pacing yourself to finish in time.<\/li>\n
- Simulate Test Day.<\/strong> Take any other practice tests as if it were test day. Set a timer and put away your study materials. Sit at a table or desk in a quiet room, imagine yourself at the testing center, and answer questions as quickly and accurately as possible.<\/li>\n
- Keep Practicing.<\/strong> Keep taking practice tests on a regular basis until you run out of practice tests or it\u2019s time for the actual test. Your mind will be ready for the schedule and stress of test day, and you\u2019ll be able to focus on recalling the material you\u2019ve learned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
