GRE Subject Tests

[Kaz]

I really am not here for a degree, just for obtaining credits for teacher certification. GRE credits through either Charter Oak or Empire are possibly one of the greatest opportunities EVER if your state will accept them toward certification. I wouldn't dismiss how amazing this opportunity is even if Excelsior has closed this to new students.

You can see in my sig that I am someone who's benefited from this opportunity and I obviously understand how rare it truly is. What you are talking about is a greatly reduced population base compared to what was before. Few people tried to go the GRE route when they had more options then they do now, including the "best" option. The number attempting will only go down now, not up.

And I would encourage anyone thinking of doing what you suggest with the teacher certification to really do some leg work beforehand. There are a lot of people on this forum that are already an educator of some sort or are trying to become one. I can't recall anyone saying they knocked-out a pile of credits for their teacher certification by just taking a subject GRE and sending the scores to COSC or Empire, no muss no fuss. I'm not a teacher and not up on their certifications, but what you are suggesting just doesn't "sound right" to me.
