I just took the GKE Reading for the second time and did not pass.
Time and location: 6:45pm Broward
My passages:
Born to Run
Buchanan (Eads bridge)
HBCU's
Graffiti vs Art
I used Quizlet.
The "Born to Run" Quizlet was not helpful at all. None of the questions from the Quizlet were on my test. Most of the Buchanan Quizlet questions/answers were on my test. The HBCU's passage was new to me ... never heard of it from any of my peers or this website. Graffiti vs Art had 4 or 5 questions, 3 of them were on Quizlet.
Has anyone take the professional Educational Test yet? Are there any useful learning material out there you recommend?
By the way, I just took my GKT Dec 28, if you need to study for the passages, email me and I will share my quizlet with you. I have all the passages and answers for Dec. yinpingrue@gmail.com
Has anyone taken the Reading in the Sarasota/ St Pete area? I take the Reading, Math, and ELS next week. I was curious what passages for the Reading. Thanks! Any advice appreciated
sunflowerCheck quizlet. There are passages there, I am reviewing all of them....Some are for June, July, not sure, but I am taking any precaution I can....I was told it helps a lot...
I graduated from college with my bachelors in legal studies. Why did I get my degree in Legal Studies? I wanted to learn more about the law and how the system worked. I never wanted to become a lawyer, lawyer assistant or none of that! I never was quite sure what I wanted to be. So now I finally figured out that I should go into teaching. That this career would be something that I could be proud of doing. I know I will be a great teacher. This isn't something I thought about one morning. I really have done my homework and I know that teaching is the right career path for me.
I have an A.S. Business Management, A.A in General Studies and B.A. in Legal Studies. I recently qualified for my Business Education Certificate and I have been applying for positions! I have yet been offered an interview. I have been looking all over. My plan B was to study for the Elementary Education K-6 test (which I have been doing for over a year now) and to teach in an Elementary School and someday become a Principal.
Yes, I have big dreams. The downer is that I have taken this test three times now and just finally passed the Social Science section only. I am so discouraged and I feel like the test is rigged! The better I answered questions, the more difficult the test got. So here I am for the fourth time! I am going to be studying for the three sections: Math, Science and Language Arts! I am so depressed and I am at my breaking point. I can't take this failure for the third time! My question is does anyone have any good advice on what I am doing with my life! I did get my A.A. in Business Management; which I love doing. But the career is not for me! My B.A. in Legal Studies is nothing I regret but it is proving to be useless to me. I would love to start my Masters in Education but so far the Job search has led to a dead end and this test is killing me! Currently I do I work in the Education system but as a support staff! I need help! Please; I have used every resources available to me to pass this Elementary Education Exam in hopes that it will open doors for me. If anyone understands my rambling, please give me some advice before I fall off my rocker here! I would love to pass this exam and to begin teaching. I want to get my Masters and this is delaying everything.
sunflowerIt is sad to hear all of this. especially b/cause in Fla there is so much need for teachers but they make everything so difficult. No wonder so many are leaving.... Those text books they sell, are nothing but a scam. When you go to take the test, the test is nothing like it... I am in the same boat but I am trying K-3 hope is easier than K-6....
