I am about to start studying for the English 6-12 temporary certification exam and I have to say that the list of books is daunting. I've whittled the list down while breaking them into categories and given them importance ratings, but I'm still uncertain about what will be the most helpful books to study. This is a career change and yes I know the horror stories, etc, etc., but this is just a stepping stone in my pursuit of grad school and eventually a PH.D, so I'm not asking for advice about whether or not to run and hide. I just really need to know what I should expect on the test and what study materials will be my best bet. So, please respond if you have taken this test and can give me some guidance on which books to focus my attention on instead of all of them.

Thanks.

Kristi Debbie,

Thank you that was very helpful. I've been leaning towards more of the teaching books versus the English and Literature books because I think I covered a lot of that in my college classes, but of course I will still take some time to refresh my memory and such.

Thank you again.

JK I used only FLDOE Guide. Self-assessed. Got over 80% on their test. Did not study more. Scheduled the test. Passed. Check the percent needed to pass. It's not too high. Most likely you'll pass. I did not attend college in the US before taking it.

Debbie How did you know a percentage? It was pass/fail.
