TExES Science 4-8 Exam - How to Pass It

Throughout my life, I have been inspired and challenged to overcome the many fears and weaknesses that I have. One of my weaknesses are the subjects of Science and Math. I was never good at these subjects in school, and I dreaded taking these classes. However, once I became a teacher, I decided that passing the Science 4-8 exam was an important goal of mine. After studying for about one month, I passed the test with flying colors!

So how did I do it? Well, first make sure that you have a structured study plan. Make it a habit to study at a certain time consistently. This way, your body will be conditioned to feel the urge to learn at a certain time. Next, get a good study guide. I checked several guides, but the one that I went with was the XAM Science 4-8 manual. Although there were a surprising number of typos in the book, it gave me a good foundation for what to expect on the test.

I would also recommend that you purchase the Cliffs Notes books on Biology, Chemistry, and Earth Science. It is a great supplemental guide that should help you when you get stuck on a concept. I would recommend that you study and prepare at least 2 weeks to ensure that you pass. If you are unable to pass the test, you will not be able to retake it again until 3 months later.

Also, I would recommend that you take the test at a center where you can test on a computer. It will save you the hassle of being in a crowded room of people, and you will be able to take the test at your convenient time.
