Are you a paying member?

If so you can get access to the IC study cards and the Specific Exam Feedback forum.

Let us know and we will help you navigate as it can be a little confusing at first.

OK, I've read through every thread I could find & can't seem to find out whether Peterson's are accurate on this one.

I'm a little nervous because I frittered away last week, so now I only have a week to prepare for this one. But I'm doing a crash course & I did okay on the first Peterson's (with next to no study), so I should be ready by Friday, but I hate cutting it this close! (hmmm, why do I constantly find myself doing it, then?? lol)

Good to know (sounds like you didn't have too much of a hard time!! lol). Anyone have a second opinion?

Passed Big Grin

I made a pointed effort to remember some of the stuff from the test (usually I walk out & forget it all!!), so here's what I remember:

-quite a bit on different types of memory & techniques for encoding
-verrrrrrrry heavy on identifying teaching styles/issues of situation (I would say 60%+ was about situations)
-know Kohlberg's stages (more particular "symptoms" of the stages than REA gives. For example if someone in a certain stage stole something, why would they feel that was wrong?)
-a couple on Gardner's multiple intelligences (know WHAT they are, not just that he founded the multiple intelligences theory)
-several questions on ethnic/cultural/multicultural teaching stuff
-know general IQ test info (who, what, standard deviation, what normal/MR/above average/etc scores are)
-know a lot about what general philosophies' (behaviorist, cognitive, social, etc) ideas will look like in a teaching setting

I recommend taking this multiple intelligences test: MyPersonality.info - Personality Types and Multiple Intelligences Tests & Information (it's fun, pretty accurate, and it will help you remember what they are)

In general I would say that REA is pretty accurate, just do some extra research on topics brought up in IC threads. I have a pretty extensive list of topics you should research in a word doc, PM me for it :]
