TExES Exam: The 3 Things You Shouldnt Do

Read, study, memorize and practice, these are ALL the things that you need to do in order to pass the dreaded Texas teacher certification. And with everything that people tell you to remember for the TExES exam, it's almost impossible to remember anything.

This is one of the biggest fears of all TExES exam takers-how do I pass the TExES exam?

If you're scared, I wouldn't blame you. With the utter volume of all that needs to be remembered, who wouldn't be frightened?

Then again, do you really need to remember everything?

The fact of the matter is, even if you were smart enough to remember everything, what will come out during the TExES exam will just be a fraction of ALL that you've studied.

So, tell me, will it be practical to study everything for the exam?

If you said NO, you're right! Not only will it be IMPRACTICAL but it'll also be INEFFICIENT.

Now, if that's the case, how does anyone prepare for the exam?

Well, there's only ONE WAY.

In order to pass, you need to study SMART. And by smart, I mean to maximize your exam review. Make the most of your learning assets, time and efforts. Don't just memorize everything or buy all kinds of TExES study guides during your test preparation.

Be a SMART test-taker and be wary of the THREE most common Pitfalls of TExES exam takers.

The 3 TExES Exam Pitfalls

Pitfall No. 1: Panicking

I know the TExES exam can be tricky, confusing and difficult. But panicking won't make the exam any less difficult. In fact, losing your nerves almost always amounts to failure.

In order to avoid these situations, you must have sufficient testing preparation. Start answering prep questions way before the scheduled date. Free test preparation helps relieve your anxiety and will make you more confident when taking the exam.

Pitfall No. 2: Being Overconfident

Remember, confidence is good. But too much confidence will bring you down.

In order to gauge your knowledge objectively, answer practice exams. Your test prep scores will reflect your level of preparedness.

Always think that you're not prepared enough. If you believe you have learned everything, your mind no longer welcomes new knowledge. And with theSBEC, there's always something new each year.

So, keep on learning and growing. Do this during your review and even as you start your teaching career.

Pitfall No. 3: Overanalyzing

During your TExES exam, don't think there is an extra meaning to questions. If the question seems plain and simple, the answer must be plain and simple as well.exam questions have no hidden meanings. Answer them straightforwardly and you should be safe.

So, Don't PANIC, BE OVERCONFIDENT or OVERANALYZE.

Remember these three things and you can BE SURE that you will soon become a full-pledged Texas educator soon.

So, why wait? Begin your teaching journey and start your Exam review NOW.
