If your not brain dead and follow these three rules youll
be fine on the cert test:

Forget studying.

1) When reading the questions and responses, You have to
imagine you have the ideal, perfect, textbook classroom,
and that you have unlimited resources, well behaved
students, supportive admins and parents, and money is not
an issue. Basically, you have a Disney classroom.

2) The questions are focused on what is best for the
"student", not the parents, not the admin, not the law and
certainly not you. Its student, student, student.

3) When in doubt choose the most technical or longest
answer.
