I just took this test about 2 weeks ago. It wasn't extremely
difficult but it was more time consuming than I was led to
believe it would be. They must have recently revised the test
because I was told repeatedly not to worry about it as well, so I
was a bit surprised. It was 60 questions and included questions
based on what would be appropriate where the Acceptable Use
Policy was concerned, some specific program type questions like
excel, word, etc., best use of technology in the classroom,
assistive technology for students with disabilities, some
hardware and memory type questions. Most of them were easy to
figure out if you didn't know the answer, and some were so basic
that you will laugh. I wouldn't stress about it, but do plan to
be there for a while. I was in a room with about 18 others and
I was the 2nd one to leave. I think it took me about 45-50
minutes to answer all 60 questions. Hope that helps.
