“Guesstimating On the TExES Test – One Expert Reveals Exam-Busting TExES Test Prep!”
You’ve read about it in that expensive TExES test study guide you bought at the bookstore.
You’ve seen it in your official TExES test prep that you downloaded straight off of the website.
But if your TExES test time is quickly running out and you haven’t gotten back to those questions you left blank, don’t take their advice and start guessing at random. Instead, use expert guesstimating techniques to make sure that the last minute of your TExES test isn’t spent wildly filling in bubbles on your answer sheet…
…it’s spent getting as many valuable TExES test points possible!
The Last Minute Of Your TExES Test: What Should You Do?
I’m Lisa Nelson, expert TExES test prep coach for Teaching Solutions – and you can bet that I happen to know my fair share of what’s on the TExES test, as I’ve written a TExES test study guide!
Teacher certification exams like the TExES test are long, and you don’t have all the time in the world to work on them. And almost everyone has heard that if you have to use a last-minute guess on a TExES test multiple choice question, choice C is the best guess. But I’m here to tell you that that’s exactly what you shouldn’t do!
The old adage that C is the best choice may have been true in the day when humans manually arranged the answer choices on multiple choice exams. Well, the TExES test is different, because those days are long gone! Computer programs are in charge of arranging the answers on the exam, and they do a much better job of randomizing the location of the correct answer. On a properly constructed TExES test – and in your TExES test prep – there is no discernible pattern to the occurrence of the correct answer choice.
TExES Test Prep: Guessing Smarter IS Possible!
Needless to say, there’s a much better way to guess on your TExES test. Although I’m sure that any TExES test study guide will make plenty of suggestions on how to do it, you don’t have time to run through each method for your questions.
You have to get those answer bubbles filled in – FAST!
Remember these four main ideas when making a guess on your TExES test:
• Do not choose answers that contain the words all, always, never, none, or other extreme language.
• If there is one TExES test answer that looks a lot different than the rest, don't guess that one.
• If two choices are very similar or are hard to tell apart, pick one of those.
• If none of these methods is applicable, it makes absolutely no difference which choice you make.
So, if you get to the point on your TExES test where you have to guess and you can't reasonably eliminate wrong answers, just pick your favorite letter and go with it!
Practice In Your TExES Test Study Guide Makes Perfect!
Don’t just wait until the day of the actual TExES test to try out these killer methods – make sure that you get in plenty of practice beforehand on your TExES test prep!
By practicing this strategy before your upcoming test date in a TExES exam study guide, you’ll feel more comfortable using it on the actual test. And that translates to a better testing experience – not to mention those valuable TExES test points! A great practice test in your TExES test study guide will give you the real test practice you need to pass.
Now that you know what you need to do to finally get your teacher certification, are you ready to take your TExES test score to the next level?
