The best recommendation that I can think of for this would be to just search TAKS on yahoo and practice test should come up with the search.  Good Luck-it's not as bad as they make it out to be!

Well, you wont have enough time to study for it thoroughly so I would suggest do the following.\n\n1) Read through it a couple of times (Spend about 45 Minutes)\n2) Rest 15 Minutes (After 45 minutes of study your brain's ability to store information deteriorates.\n3) Do as many excersises as possible on with different formulas\n\nHopefully you will pass.\n\nGood site for explaining all the consepts and formulas:\nhttp://www.physicsclassroom.com/

The TAKS Test evaluates students' performances statewide, which in turn when scores are averaged up, assesses the districts' and individual schools' performances among different grades and ethnic groups. Which is solely dependent upon school funding. IPoorer school districts don't always perform well due to lack of proper funding for certified teachers and learning materials necessary for acedemic success. All in all, a lack of resources.  The state has created cirriculumns for each grade level on what is expected of the student to learn for the TAKS.\n\nAnyway, I do understand your son's reasoning. I was personally affected by the TAKS Test, and being two years into college, the affects of this test remain. The TAKS does not prepare students from the future, much less college. Most of  the material covered won't be used again. And your son is not the first case of being an exceptional student but not testing well. This is partly due to the immense pressure placed upon him and his fellow peers to perform well on the test. Please encourage him not to give up. Remind him that the average adult working part time with a diploma earns about $20,000.00 a year at most, and without a diploma, on average about $15,000.00. And introduce him to what new financial responsibilities he'll acquire once he's on his own (i.e. health insurance, car insurance, rent, ultilities, food, miscelaneous, etc.). I've done budget assignments in my college courses on both these budgets, and they're very effective.\n\nSome things that could help your son in regards to testing, would be to take a break when frustrated, and clear his mind. If the answer isn't clear, then move on to the next question and come back to it later. Do the easier questions first, and tackle the harder ones after. This will keep his mind flowing and ready to deal with the harder set of questions. In doing so, he might come to realize that most the questions that seemed ridiculous are really easy questions worded differently to provoke a certain thought process.\n\nAlso, there are materials available to help prepare for the TAKS Test. But the most important piece of advice I can give you, is to let him know that no matter what you love him and are proud of him. Also, that this his last year of dealing with the TAKS - and to make the most if it. If he doesn't pass this spring don't worry, he has ample chances to retake and pass it.

Think first why you are studying.  Determine to clear off the arrears.  Have positive frame of mind.  Develop confidence in yourself.  Work hard.  Face the examination boldly and calmly.  Certainly the result is yours.  No other tip is found to be necessary for you.  Good luck!

Read the book do the homework and listen best you can in class.  Some professors are great lectures some can barely be understood but if you do the reading and problems you are in good shape.  Find the TA and ask about the professors style like are the tests based on lecture or book then adjust accordingly.

Its not near as  hard as you think it is. But I did like 300 pts better on the second one. There are programs you can buy at like Best Buy... they REALLY HELP! and they have a "cram" options. If you took practice tests you should be alright. Its hard not to want to kill yourself after a couple hours of the test so just be prepared to sit there for 5 hours and trust me... its not hard! Good luck!

there is a program called rosetta stone it is kinda of expensive but it is supposed to be the best in the world.\n\nPS you are planning to take the test not give the test - the teacher/proctor gives the exam you take it\n\nfor more simple - get a video of an english show/movie that has a lot of simple dialog.  turn on the closed caption and record yourself speaking the dialog of the actors.  then listen to yourself back then listen to them so you can see how you sound different. and what words you need to improve on

Go to:\n\nwww.ets.org\n\nThat is the Praxis testing website, and it has a comprehensive list of all the tests.  You find your location there, set up an account, and register for the test you need to take, all on line.  Easy!\n\nMake sure you print out everything that you do, and keep copies!  Praxis is known to lose records!!  And make sure that you verify your registration 2 days prior to testing like they say to -- sometimes they will kick you out of the system, or they will change locations without notifying you!\n\nGood luck!!

Have you had a chance to take a look at sample tests and detailed information?  If not, visit this site:\n\nwww.ets.org\n\nIf you click on the "Praxis" link on the home page you'll get a great deal of information.  Under the "Test Preparation" tab on the Praxis II section of the website, you'll find a link to tests at a glance which will take you to each specific test.  I think this will be helpful for you if you haven't visited this site already.  Good luck!!

best bet is to go for the highest mark. It does depend on the test though. my A+ said it was 80% but after i passed on my pass sheet is said 75% so my ACPT and ACDT both said 80 and were 80 my ACHDS said 70 and was 65 so i would assume the full 87% and hope your lucky and its lower
