I asked this in Higher Education and got no help at all so hopefully someone here can help!

First of all I know I need to take the Praxis I before I can get into a program. What can I expect from this test and what are the best ways to prepare? I glanced over sample questions and the ones I saw were pretty easy- do people even study for it? Should I go ahead and get a study guide anyway?

Also I’m having a horrible time trying to decide what program I would like to do- so if anyone can give me up sides and down sides (esp with regards to the demand) to the following that would be great! Here’s what I’m looking at:

MA in School Counseling
MAT in Special Education w/ licensure
MAT in Elementary Education w/ licensure
MAT in Art Education w/ licensure

My background: I have never taken any traditional teaching courses and only have one psychology class under my belt. I have one undergraduate degree and am about 2 semesters away from an undergrad in Art. I’ve volunteered with special needs children as well. The university I am looking into does not require me to take the GRE.

Thanks for any help/advise!

When you take the praxis ll english: Content knowledge, you’ll realize that the test has been advertised as but includes a registration fee as well making it 5 dollars. I’m so sick of ETS, I also took the GRE using study guides from kaplan and princeton review which are misleading and uneffective. The praxis ll study guides for english are worthless because the actual test is based on reading comprehension. ETS is a scam but what can we as students and prospective teachers do about it?

I am studying to take the GRE at the end of this month. However, I’ve found that most of the GRE study guides only have questions and explanations, but no rules to memorize, which really helps.

A few years ago, I studied to take the Praxis I with a book that really helped me score high. I liked that it broke everything down with rules to memorize such as the area of circles, triangles, etc. as well as basic rules for percentage problems and ratios.

I was wondering if the math sections of the GRE and the PRAXIS I are similar? I wanted to study using the same book, but wasn’t sure if it would help…thanks! )

I’m 23, have a BA in journalism, very interested in education field, but don’t desire to become a traditional classroom teacher. I like working on computers, learning new media technologies, research various subjects constantly as per current field-related work. I want to know how difficult course work is and what type of exams (GRE, Praxis, etc.) are needed to become a teacher-librarian? Also, can anyone recommend it as a field?
