Information About New Core Subjects Exams

If you pass the Generalist EC-6 and finish all of your certification requirements by August 31, 2017, you should not have to take the new Core Subjects EC-6 exam.  Many people will probably find the new exam challenging, since it has 267 questions (compared to only 140 on the Generalist EC-6).  So, if you struggle with test-taking, I recommend that you take the Generalist EC-6 soon.  It will only be offered through August of 2015.  

Also, the new Core Subjects exams require you to pass each individual subject area.  If you only fail one subject area, you only have to re-take that section.  The 45 day waiting period applies to this exam, just like all the other TExES exams. 

The new Core Subjects exams will cost $120 each.  If you need to re-take individual subject area tests, each one will cost $60.

Core Subjects Exams

Many of you are curious about the new Core Subjects exams that will replace the Generalist EC-6 and Generalist 4-8. Check out the ETS site- they posted the new preparation manuals for the core subjects tests. One interesting change is that instead of 5 hours that are allowed for the Generalist exams, the Core Subjects tests only allow 4 hours 40 minutes. http://www.texes.ets.org/texes/core-subjectsgeneralist-tests/

Tips for Registering for your TExES Exam

There are test centers throughout the state, in many other states, and also in Puerto Rico and Mexico.  When you register, you first select your city and then the test center.  After that you choose the test date.  Because some test centers fill up earlier than others, and some test centers only offer  the exam on certain days, you might not see the date you want at the first test center you select.  Go back and check other test centers in your area, and you might be able to find a date that meets your needs.  This is especially important for the LOTE, BTLPT, and other exams that are offered on a limited basis.

Keep in mind that cell phones are not allowed at the test center.  Leave your phone in the car!  Take two forms of valid identification and your admission ticket. I also recommend you take a light jacket in case the room is cold.
