Well, I didn't really study at all for the content exams
(although I was really glad for my modern art history class,
so that might be something you want to study), so I don't
know of any flash cards. You could probably make some good
ones yourself. I suggest looking back at what you studied in
art history to start - the movements and the major artists
therein.

I just took the PLT, which was pretty tough. I'd suggest
googling a study guide if you don't have one already. There
are some really great powerpoints and study aids for free
online. The test dealt a lot with the behavioral and
developmental psych stuff we had to learn. Study theorists,
like Gardener or Piaget, for example.

And not only know the theories, know how they relate to the
classroom (like, how does Teacher A know how a certain age
group learns? because they develop in such and such a way).
This is pretty big on the case studies.
