If the Texas exam is similar to the Georgia one always pick the most wordy answer and the one that will work the best in a perfect world.

Sounds exactly like the practice test I took. Part of me hopes the real thing is as easy as the practice test, the other part of me fears for students if the real one is as easy.

And thanks guys, lets hope i don't need the luck, but it's always nice to have.

I wish nothing will prevent you from demonstrating you skills at their utmost.

What are they testing for exactly?

Physics I and Physics II I'm hoping that means they've split physics into two semesters in high school now, and if calculus is taught before that we might could squeeze a real college level physics education into high school curriculum, cause what they do now is really a travesty of physics.

Ah, so its the content test I thought it was the pedagogy test. I will be gathering paper work and joining an alternative certification program. Apparently working as a Teacher's Assistant the last few months will come in handy.

I remember it saying something about pedagogy, still not quite sure what all that meant, but according to a principal at the local high school i've got the tests I need.

Here in Texas you can teach for a year without the pedagogy test as long as you pass your content test or actually teach a class after passing the pedagogy test but not passing the content test; its up to the principal.

That was easy, almost ... TOO easy. I'm suspicious. Quintuple checked the test and my answers, and the book though.

When do you get your scores ? Which tests did you take ? You're just out of university so you probably did very well.

In a month, I took physics I and physics II.
