FTCE Professional Ed (083) Book + Online

This book is first class. The CD gives you two actual tests to practioe and it is just like the real exam you will take. The book is comprehensive, gives great hints and ideas, and is thoroughly worth the purchase price. When you get it, spend several weeks working your way through it and memorizing as much as you can on all the sections. The actual exam is very comprehensive and the more you use this book, the better you will do.

This book is very comprehensive and has provided me with more than enough information to study for the test.

This book does an excellent job of explaining the competencies and the two tests at the end of the book were right on! I liked the fact that there were explanations of the correct practice exam answers so that the reader could understand why the answer was correct. I also liked that the book applies the behavioral theories to actual classroom scenarios so the reader could see the theories in action. Other teachers who took this same exam without using this study guide failed (a few times) but I passed on the first try and I believe this book was the reason. I would definitely recommend this book!!

This book is a valuable tool for those taking the FTCE.It reviews every competency you'll need to know for this exam, including a neat summary of the basic psychological theories at the beginning of the book. I took this exam in 1998 without any prep book like this available and I did pass the exam.This book tells you the pass score needed. At the outset I was thrown by the questions, but the strategy I adapted apparently payed off.Going in, all I had to prepare me was the skimpy test booklet provided by the State of Florida certification division. But if you're really serious about getting through this exam at the first go, then this book is a must. I am now using this book as a tutoring aid when I coach others for this rather quirky exam.One quick hint for test-takers: this particular exam's questions are best answered by the process of elimination.Good luck!
