Review of Public Relations: Thought and Practice TECEP with Instantcert Flashcards

[sanantone]

I passed this exam with a 77; you only need a 65 to pass. The test is completely multiple choice. I only read the IC flashcard set once. I prefer reading through flashcard sets twice when I have time, but I don't think that would have helped with this test. The stuff I likely missed wasn't covered by IC. This is a subject where you can figure out a lot of answers with common sense and basic knowledge of marketing and journalism.

I'm a good test-taker, but the difficulty of TECEPs and the amount of study they require has been grossly exaggerated by people who haven't even taken them. The need of studying the recommended textbook has also been exaggerated. The test developers might have used one textbook to develop a TECEP, but most mainstream textbooks are largely the same for each subject. With all the TECEPs I passed, I either relied on IC and Quizlet flashcards or free e-books. For Strategic Management, I only spent a little bit of time reading key points in the recommended textbook and dedicated the rest of my study to flashcards.

You should always go over the sample questions in the test description because those questions or ones very similar to them are often on the test.
