Anyone taken the TExES test for Special Ed certification?

Question

I have my bachelor's and am seeking certification in Special Ed. I am signed up to take the test. Just wanted to know if anyone could tell me what to expect, or study? Any books or materials would be helpful.

Answer 1

i've never heard of this test, and i am certified in 2 different states.  i will tell you though that any tests you take for certification are a culmination of everything you learned in classes.  i've found that studying for the tests is useless because what's in the study guides generally has no bearing or meaning to what's on the tests.  as long as you've kept your grades up, the test shouldn't be a problem.  i only know one person who has failed a certification test...and that's because she went out on a binge the night before the test and passed out in the middle of it!  so just don't do that, and you'll be fine!  also, the more relaxed you are, the better.  don't stress yourself out too much about it.  go into the test with confidence that you're going to be a great teacher, and you'll do great!
