Used this book to study for the EC-6 Generalist and I passed the first time! Includes a diagnostic test to help you figure out which competencies you should study more.

I used this book as well as Preparing to Teach Texas Content Areas EC-4, and the practice exam on the ETS website. The practice tests in this manual focus on content, whereas the practice test on the ETS site focuses on application and the real exam is somewhere in between. Unfortunately, a lot of the content questions on the actual test didn't ask about content that was covered in the book, and the test's questions (especially about Math, Social Studies, and Science) were so out there, that I don't know that there's a way I could have better prepared myself for the exam. I was expecting the manual to be similar to manuals on the GRE or SAT - written by instructors who have studied the test and know what kind of things come up. Instead, this manual (as well as the EC-4 manuals) is more like a shot in the dark. However, the English portion is very useful and all of the information about teaching theories and child development are a must. And, I doubt I would have passed the test without having read a manual on it and this one is fine compared to others. I would recommend the Preparing to Teach Texas book over this one as it's questions are more similar to those on the test and it teaches you more application, along with giving you sample lesson plans.

I did pass the test with a 268, which is not great, but I'll take it (240 is the lowest passing score and 300 is the highest score possible). I also entered the test having taken no education courses and graduating with a Liberal Arts degree less than a year ago.

I took the 191 last week and passed it. I had this book but I cannot say that this book contributed to me passing the test. A big part of passing the 191 is the ability to read a question and answer according to what the question is really asking you; not necessarily with a textbook answer. There were several questions where I had to rely on my own common sense. I didn't do either one of the practice tests in the back and the only section I read thoroughly was English/Language Arts and I did not have the CD-ROM either. I still did well on the test. There were terms on the test in the E/LA section that were never mentioned in this book; another time for common sense in action. Another big part of the 191 is just recalling what you learned all those years ago in grade school. From what I can tell, each person will have a different version of the test (I took mine by computer). It's possible that I just got an easier version but I doubt it. Anyway, if you really think you need a study guide, I would suggest getting something to supplement this book like flashcards or something.

The practice test are very easy and the actual test is more complicated. The questions are very different in the test, with a full paragraph before each one.


2 out of 5 stars Many Mistakes   April 12, 2010

4 out of 4 found this review helpful

In theory this is supposed to be a good resource, but it is FULL of mistakes. You really have to pay a lot of attention to the questions and the answers because sometimes the answer key would mark an answer wrong when in fact it is right. You will discover that when you read the explanations to the answers. Also there is a lot of typos and misspelled words.
I did not like this study guide but I have not found any other.
