by Loren Griffith

Mar 30, 2017

Hello.

I have to have the Subject Area Exam to get my bachelors degree in my hand. I completed my Early Childhood Education program in December of 2015. I cannot pass the Developmental Knowledge portion of the Subject Area Exam. I have tried EVERYTHING. I have taken the portion 5 times and I have studied literally everything. Any advice?
