My goal is to take the first exam in November/December and the second exam March/April. I want to space these exams because they will be the most challenge Praxis exams I have ever taken.
Chemistry: Content Knowledge (0245 and 5245)
and
Physics: Content Knowledge (0265 and 5265)
By this time next year, I should be able to boast that I am highly qualified to teach 4th grade through 12th grade science ALL subjects? What's that? Oh yeah, that's Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I will be able to teach it all. LOL.
So if I look a bit stressed because I can't remember Hess' Law or anything about Brewster's polarized lenses, be nice. Just smile and tell me that there's a plan for me. Then briskly walk away. Seriously, though, I have taken several Praxis exams. I took all three of the Praxis I exams and scored high. I have taken Principles of Learning and Teaching, Middle School Science, Physical Science, General Science and Biology. My studying methods work and preparation is the key to passing exams.
Where am I going to take these exams?
I can take the paper exam in Barrow where I live! Or I can fly into Fairbanks and take them by appointment. It might be worth flying to Fairbanks for a vacation/shopping trip combined with a Praxis exam. I remember taking my Chemistry II final and going to Wal-mart because I could not think. My brain was malfunctioning and did not want to make a decision on anything. I walked around for about forty five minutes before my brain reset and I went home to play some God of War. (Yes, I play God of War during times of extreme stress. It has been replaced with Dante's Inferno and Left 4 Dead.)
Keep me in your prayers during this time of testing!
