Content Exam

Last Friday, the day after July 4, at the last minute I took the certification exam for teaching Math Grades 4-8 in Texas public schools. I went to a testing site near my house. The exam had 100 questions and was allotted 5 hours. I finished in 2.5 hours. The exam comprised basically the same math that I have been teaching my ex-husband’s 11-year-old son since January.

Yesterday I got my scores. As a percentage, a passing score is 70% or higher. I got 99%. The score range is 100-300, a passing score is 240 or higher, and my score is 298.
