Education

required to teach.

If these candidates really understood testing and the techniques involved, they wouldn't worry or be prey to these evil critters who help convince them they can't do it.

My lowest grade was 92/100 on the world geography section of my composite exam in social studies, and I have taken exactly one geography course in my life - in the 4th grade in 1962. I did not cram, I did not read a book, I did not join a study group. I got plenty of rest the night before, a snack before the test, and used my knowledge of test construction to proceed.

I teach the base set of these techniques to all my students in the first two weeks of any class I teach, whether sophomore or high school senior. I have a 98% lifetime record of students passing all state exams in my Title I school with an 85% poverty, 78% minority, 50% from homes where no person has a high school diploma, background.

Good gosh.
