I provide corrective feedback for sample essays... do not think without practice you will pass the first time. You have to practice before you test. Have someone grade a sample using the rubric.
Here are some sample topics:
Effectiveness of Online Education
What is the Teacher Role in the Classroom?
Technology Effect on Students in School
Advantages and Disadvantages of Parental Involvement in Schools

What did I learn from taking 8 exams in one month?
How did I study for all the exams?
Here are some useful tips to save you time and money.
If you do not know the right answer choose A, Test makers are lazy, it is a high % this is the right answer. I took this strategy for the humanities 6-12 exam and got close to half of the questions right. When taking the other exam the correct answer choice was more than likely letter A.
Pick an answer that makes sense, if it is a random distractor it is the wrong answer.
Know the name of the national board organization of the subject you will be testing in.
Use test questions to help you answer other questions, there will be clues in questions from another questions.
The test competencies you need to study them. The answer choices that have these are probably the good answer choices.
Write down the number you need to get right to pass immediately when given the test booklet. For example if you need 70% to pass and you have 120 questions that lets you know how many questions you can get wrong. Calculate this using the formula. This helps when you are struggling at the very end to make sure that you have enough correct answers to pass the test.
Mark questions you need to come back to later. Want study guide information email me at acethetestthefirsttime@gmail.com for study guides that will guarantee you pass the first time. Even have sample prompt and formula for GKT essay.

<...See MoreThese seemed to be most reading sets from every county that I've seen over the past year and currently. Please comment below which set you had taken for this month and where did you take it? Thank you.
V123coYou're welcome! I checked. My first test was in September and my last test was on November 13. I have checked 22 passages or quizzlets for the GK reading and I only recognize Catalonia, Vaccines, Women in Stem, Muzak, Buchanan Eads. Both times I ran out of time and I couldn't read the last passages.
Two times now scoring with in 10 points of passing the reading. Starting to wonder if Pearson is failing people so that they can make more $$ through retakes. I see people saying all the time how they finished feeling like they knew all of the answers...then they get the printout showing they didn't know half of them... for me it seems like some of the questions do not have a correct answer in the list. Like the answers do not go with the question being asked. And the fact that we are not allowed to see what we got wrong. Seems shady when you cannot see what they say you missed. I have never had any test like these. I have a MS and I have never had as much trouble with any test like I have had with these. Now "Florida" schools are wondering why they cannot find enough teachers. I know why... Florida has fired thousands of teachers who have been teaching for multiple years because they had to go back and take the FTCE (Pearson's) GK test and cannot pass it. The subject matter test does not coincide with what is being taught either.
Well... I digress.
If anyone has passed the K-6 language arts/reading and/or math I would greatly appreciate suggestions on what materials helped out.
JbeanI don't know much about the test you are taking but try 240 tutoring or Learning Liaisons. I feel your pain and I agree with you. I will be taking the GKT reading on Saturday for the 5th time. Good Luck!!
