"PLACE Testing Shelf-Help, or Why You Waste Money on PLACE Test Study Guides"

I want you to take a break from your PLACE study guide and take a look at your nearest book shelf.

Chances are it’s practically lined from floor to ceiling with PLACE exam study guides that you’ve bought over the last couple of months. And I don’t think I’d be hedging my bets by saying that most of those study guides are busy collecting dust.

Believe me, you’re not the only one to encounter this phenomenon. In fact, with the PLACE test prep industry estimated to be in the tens of millions, it’s a simple fact that potential Colorado teachers are buying more for their PLACE tests.

So if all this time and money is being spent on PLACE test preparation, why do so many test takers fail the PLACE exam?

It’s what I like to call “PLACE testing” shelf-help – and if you want to get your Colorado teacher certification, it’s the worst frame of mind you can find yourself in.

The PLACE Testing Balance Scales

Picture the scales of justice that are used to depict courtrooms.

On the one hand, you’ve got your Why-I-Have-To reasons. On the other, you have your Why-I-Can’t reasons. Every moment of your life is spent balancing out the reasons between these two powers. And any decision you make after that is likely to be influenced by the winning side of the scale – and the Colorado PLACE test is no different.

On the one side (your Why-I-Have-To side), you’ve got reasons why you should crack on with your study:

You want to pass your Colorado PLACE exam and get your teacher certification;

You want to start earning a stable teaching salary;

And you want to accomplish your life-long career dream.

On the other side (your Why-I-Can’t side), you’ve got reasons why you’ve been avoiding preparing for your PLACE testing: you’ve got a million other things to do; you feel like you aren’t ready yet; and what if these study guides don’t work for me?

If you’re spending hundreds – maybe even thousands - of dollars on your PLACE test, then what’s wrong with this picture?

PLACE Exam Iceberg Dead Ahead!

Studies from esteemed universities like Harvard, Stanford and MIT have all confirmed that when it comes to our brain activity, we only use 10% of our brains. This is often referred to as our Conscious mind. The remaining 90% is hidden below the surface, much like an iceberg – and that is our Subconscious mind.

Your Subconscious mind is an unexplored terrain that literally controls our behaviors, fears, thoughts, dreams and actions. It’s like a locked room where you know you’ll never be able to find the key. And when you can’t see what’s inside the room, it’s awfully hard to change what’s in there.

Which is why thousands of potential Colorado teachers are still stuck even after buying their weight in PLACE test study guides.

After much study, I’ve determined that our Why-I-Have-To reasons are held within our Conscious minds; and our Why-I-Can’t reasons are held in our subconscious minds.

At a conscious level, everyone wants to succeed on their PLACE exam. After all, no one purposefully signs up to take the test hoping to fail.

But because your Subconscious mind is afraid of failing, it’s like you’re driving down the road of PLACE testing success with one foot on the brake.

And at www.teachingsolutions.org/placeexam.html, I can show you how to get that foot off of the brake – now.
