Question about Elementary Education OSAT 050 & 051

by Max

Feb 11, 2009

Anyone have any recommendations for how to go about studying this test? I passed the OGET, but didn't score very high on the Math portion(my worst subject). Can anyone comment on how the math on this exam compares to the math on the OGET? Any ideas about the essay question topic? Thanks.

I see "nowadays" one can take the tests on computer, rather than just the old scantron sheet. Question - is the essay also computer based? Or is it still handwritten? Seems ideas flow easier for me through the keyboard than by hand.

by Stephanie

Feb 23, 2009

I have a BBA in Marketing. I've recently decided to go the alternative certification route and get certified in business education. After doing this and (hopefully) securing a teaching job, I'd like to go back to school and get a Masters Degree in Special Education.

My two questions are: 1- does taking the business education certification...See More

Jessica To be highly qualified in special education you will have to also be highly qualified to teach in either elementary education or in the subject areas that you will teach at a junior high and high school level. For example, I have certifications in learning disabilities, mental retardation, mild/moderate (which trumps the previous two certifications...See More

justin I did not pass the OPTE this time. I was wondering if the 6-12 opte was easier to take than the pk-8 grade opte. I' m alternatively certified and made it with flying colors through my entry level year, it stinks that I made a 238 on the pk-8 grade opte, anyone have any comments or suggestions how to pass would be greatly appreciated.
