I'm the Admin of PraxisMathExamForum.com
I am going to give it to you straight, because I already hold my ceritifcations - I am already where I need to be in my long-term career plan. And while my website visitors waste time peddling around, I am compiling my list of school districts and HR offices that I need to contact for next February and March. We are in the middle of a recession, President Obama said unemployment may reach ten-percent, and apparently EVERYONE wants to be a MATH teacher. That's odd, because I DID NOT notice huge crowds at my ETS.org/PRAXIS testing center. Maybe the test is too hard, or maybe everyone is just too busy study properly to pass?!?! So I asked questions, started a website, listened to the folks who purchased my product, and discovered some valuable information I am going to share right now, so all the FAILURES can actually PASS this exam! My website PraxisMathExamForum.com has everything you need to succeed. So I wanted to discuss something entirely different here..
Let's talk about Failure:
If you go to any Praxis II test center and talk with the exam candidates who are sitting for the 0061 and 0069 exams, they'll ask you - DID YOU TAKE THIS EXAM PREVIOUSLY? HOW WAS IT? Did you pass the FIRST TIME? No??!! How many times did it take you to pass? THREE? OMG!! <---- and you see right there.. ^^^ right then is when the panic MODE sets in. Whether you are taking the Praxis II 0061 Content of Knowledge Exam for High School Mathematics, or the Praxis II 0069 Middle School Mathematics Exam , preparing thoroughly to take this exam SAVES YOU MONEY, TIME & FRUSTRATION.
Evaluate the COST equation:
Let's do the math. We run a Survey at the top of our webpage which asks our http://www.praxismathexamforum.com/ web visitors if they are in favor of a reduction on the administrative and testing fees charged by ETS.org/Praxis. At this time, the survey has been LIVE for two weeks, and approx. 58 responses later, about 88% of our respondents said YES, that they are in favor of a fee adjustment. And, of the 58 or so total responses, we received approx 8 comments. Now of those eight comments, two individuals shared they fees dollar amounts they must pay to take the test. GET THIS, not once, but EACH time YOU register for their Praxis II Mathematics exam you are going to pay nearly $80 to (over) $100 dollars for your SEAT. Most pass after the second or THIRD try. That's $300 BUCKS! HELLO THAT IS THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Hopefully, you've looked at your timeline, budget, and priorities, because time is money, and we are all taking this test to obtain employment. Missed time, means missed opportunities. Have a look at the transcript, and Q&A (questions & answers) we've decided to share in our PraxisMathVideo http://www.praxismathexamforum.com/praxismathvideo.html There you will find valuable information which will enable you to prepare to PASS the first time.
- How many times are you going to *ATTEMPT* to pass this bloody test? How many times are you going to fail before you get serious and do something different?
- Reallistically, the more time you waist, the less serious you take these exams and the more of a procrastinator you are when it comes to obtaining the pre-requisites to the Teaching Certification for a Mathematics Teacher in your state, (i.e. Praxis II Math Exams), the less competition I/WE (the smarter ones of us) will have when we seek interview next Fall/Winter 2009/2010.
See ya later failure!
