How to Prepare for the ExCET: Examination for the Certification of Educators in Texas

I used the Barron's study guide to prepare for the EXCET and found that it's discussion of the competencies was beneficial. It's examples and explanations of the correct choices helped to develop skills in eliminating the wrong answers. Many times there are two choices that look good and you need to pick the correct response. This books helps you prepare to do that. It's worth the money to have this book!

BARRON'S How to Prepare for the ExCET Professional Development Tests is a great way to get a feel for what to expect on the ExCET. It has a diagnostic test you can take to discover your strengths and weaknesses. This allows you to focus more of your study time on your weaker areas. It also contains practice tests. I recommend this book to anyone preparing to take the ExCET for Professional Development. WARNING: If you are seeking certification by examination only, make sure you study the test for your CONTENT AREA. This is a separate test and helpful hints can be downloaded from the Texas Education Agency website. Good Luck!
