Did You Fail the LOTE or BTLPT Spanish? Do You Want ETS to Review/Verify Your Score?

Are you curious about having your LOTE or BTLPT score reviewed/verified?  For $70 ETS will review your score, but only the speaking/oral section and writing section will be reviewed.  They will score those sections again, and then let you know if they confirm or change your score.  For more information, go to the ETS site and download the current TExES registration bulletin http://cms.texes-ets.org/texes/downloadlibrary/ 

Are you studying for the LOTE or BTLPT Spanish exam?

Both exams include listening comprehension.  If you need to practice that, UT has some great free resources: http://www.laits.utexas.edu/laexec/laexec.html#

Keep in mind we sell a pedagogy guide for the LOTE, a reading comprehension test for the BTLPT, and sample writing tasks for both exams.

LOTE and BTLPT

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/

Next BTLPT and LOTE Test Dates

The BTLPT and LOTE Spanish exams will be offered again November 15-November 22.  The registration deadline is October 31, but it's best to sign up early to maximize your chances of getting the date and location you want.  Also, test centers often fill up before the registration deadline.  After November, the test will not be offered again until January.

If you took your BTLPT or LOTE earlier this month or late in September, the scores will be released October 27.  So, you will know if you passed or not before the registration period ends.
