Becoming an EC-4 Teacher in Texas

I took that EC-4 PPR on 4/4/2009 and passed with a 279! I am by no means a "test taker" (meaning, that test taking does NOT come naturally for me, I am one of those people that absolutely have to do A LOT of studying to pass a test). This book had a lot of great practice questions. It is 400 pages which is a lot to read because the pages are a little bigger than regular pages. It took me about 1 1/2 months to go through the whole book, I am pretty sure that it may take others less, but 1 month is the average study time frame you should take when studying for the PPR, especially with this book (since its 400 pages). But let's not forget that I studied every single day...no seriously, every day! Another tool that I used, that also helped was a EC-4 PPR software by Certify Teacher (go to www.certifyteacher.com) I used this software along with reading the book "Becoming and EC-4 Teacher in Texas" and it really helped! Good luck!

I strongly recommend and encourage anyone taking the TeXes teaching certification exam to purchase this book!~
