(Part 2) Best professional & career test guides according to redditors

There’s a condensed book, around 120 pages, that covers almost every topic on the NREMT. Here you go.

Those of you attempting soon or have passed (congrats) you might find my Ports and Protocols book helpful, in the study time,exam,or out in 'the field'

I wrote it because I needed it myself so hopefully you will too

Im not gonna lie, fresh out of highschool i got like slightly under a 50. 4 years later when i was deadest on joining i bought

and ended up getting a 82 with a 110+ GT and ST score, it might just be that i was more mature when i took it this time around but i still attribute a portion of my score to studying from this book.

I really liked these flash cards:http://www.amazon.com/ASBOG-Exam-Flashcard-Study-System/dp/1609712064

Not too many other options that I'm aware of.

This is what I had used mainly to study when I took my exam back in summer of 2014. https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-NATA-BOC-Exam-Study-Guide/dp/1610721926 Got through it just fine along with my classmates who also used this. If I remember correctly it's cheaper directly on their website versus Amazon. I also paid for all the practice exams that are offered. Take them in practice mode, as test mode never gave the correct answer with explanations. Write down what you get right and wrong to give yourself an idea. Don't neglect the Prentice book either.

You can find them in stores. I bought mine on amazon. For intel, you don't need the entire ASTB, just the OAR. http://www.amazon.com/Master-Officer-Candidate-Eighth-Ostrow/dp/B004OS0KQ8/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1372487969&sr=1-3&keywords=astb. It's not very hard, just need to practice and understand the format. Like the SAT's.

Hopefully that link works. Like I said, a tad pricey, but I swear it was the only thing that worked to get me to pass that test. Good luck, I know the test is daunting, and such a pain, but it is so worth all of that once you are in your own classroom.

Certified Arborist Exam Flashcard Study System: Arborist Test Practice Questions & Review for the International Society of Arboriculture's Certified Arborist Certification Examination (Cards) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1627339590/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_tT8kDbSBJQCTB

Notecards with a lot of information. They offer an online practice test. Vary helpful. I saw some questions on the real exam.

You might want to try this book. It helped me pass the CSET in one go.

I used the Mometrix book from Amazon to prepare for the Praxis II Computer Science 7-12. My understanding was that the Praxis II was adapted right from the TExES 141 test. Here is the one I used! I had difficulty finding anything too, but this worked well for me.

I took the test last year. There isn't much out there on it. I did buy this book.
http://www.amazon.com/Praxis-Business-Education-Knowledge-Assessments/dp/1627331530/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420764138&sr=8-1&keywords=praxis+business
To be honest, it is kind of shittily written, but it was good enough. Helps you brush up on things like accounting practice and business law, at least. I passed with a 193/200, and I basically know jack about business. I only took the test because that accreditation is linked to teaching computer courses in a lot of states.

For me, it wasn't so much needing to learn the material on the test, but to know how the test was organized and what it was asking on each question.

I took a prep course (cost maybe $200 bucks) and it went over the test structure and gave some really helpful information about the Dx piece and testing instruments (which wasn't really covered in my MA program). I also got this book (http://www.amazon.com/NCMHCE-Secrets-Study-Guide-Examination/dp/1614032378/ref=pd_sim_b_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0WHADZNZVR7GJWWNQDNH) and it came with a bunch of full length practice exams. This combo worked really well for me - especially considering I have pretty significant test anxiety and was fully convinced I wasn't going to pass the test.

I ordered Flash Cards similar to these to help me study it helped, I passed both my LSW and LCSW exams with ease on the first shot

Get this book. Get an overview of each section, and spend more time on the sections you know you'll have trouble with. Do lots of practice problems, and take at least one of the full length practice tests once you feel more prepared. The actual test should be a breeze.

It really depends on the district. Yes, some schools in Texas will just want you to get certified, you can really have any degree. Some schools will want specific majors.

I'm looking to apply to schools for fall because I'm graduating in May. And a lot of them make you promise to get your masters in 6 years. It depends on the principle and district policy.

My advice if you want to really be marketable is to get certified in art! There are books available to study but honestly if you've taken studio art classes most of the questions shouldn't be too difficult I'd brush up on classroom management and logistic material. This is the book I used for the Texas certification.

ALSO. GET ESL CERTIFIED. most districts require it here in Texas!! There's a test just like for art!! It wasn't required to be taken for my major but I wish it was because it's super important if you want to get hired. So I'm studying and going to take it!

Best of luck!!

I just picked up the Mometrix prep book. You can get it off amazon or at barnes and noble.

Looking for PDFs of these two books:

https://www.amazon.com/NYSTCE-Chemistry-Secrets-Study-Guide/dp/1610723449
Will pay $2 Paypal for each.

I am studying for that currently. A friend recommended the NCMHCE Secrets book, and I feel like that is useful. It has a lot of practice tests in it. https://www.amazon.com/NCMHCE-Secrets-Study-Guide-Examination/dp/1610722434

I have heard, from nowhere in particular, that this is a helpful study guide.
