The ultimate practice book—your secret weapon for the toughest test in Texas!
From the author of the best-selling TEx ES preparation handbook comes this brand-new collection of up-to-date practice tests, each one field-tested for accuracy and designed to show you where you need to improve—and how to do it to pass the TEx ES exam.
TEx ES expert Elaine Wilmore starts by getting you thinking like a test developer to learn the exam’s framework inside and out. Then comes the heart of the book—seven practice tests with answers, plus
- Rationales explaining why the correct answers are correct
- Tables and figures geared for visual and kinesthetic learners
- ‘Important Points to Remember’ at the end of each test
- Test-taking strategies
- Guidance for creating a personal success plan for the weeks, days, and night before the test
Hands-on practice is the best way to prepare for the TEx ES exam, and this essential book makes that practice meaningful. It’s your first step in preparing for certification—and for putting your vision in place as a new principal.
‘Preparing for the TEx ES can be overwhelming; however, Wilmore’s ability to provide real-life examples make this book a must-have for the student preparing to gain principal certification in Texas.’
