CBET Certification Period Opens

In case you dont know: The CBET certification exam period has opened November 3rd, 2012. It ends November 17th, 2012.

For those of you who are ready: I say good luck!

For those of you who are holding out for the spring test next year: I say, the time to start getting ready is NOW!

If your like me though… you will procrastinate for a while before you get serious about preparing for the CBET exam. This is not a smart move though. The CBET exam covers many topics, some which you will be able to pick up and remember from your days in college but others will be a pain in the keister to get it in your head! (Ha Ha!)

Dont roll the dice and ready up for the CBET exam with time!

Getting in as much time with the material is crucial to your success. If you dont put in the study time, you will be rolling the dice with the CBET exam and at $375 a pop (As of 11/3/12) I reckon you wanna get it right the first time. It can be frustrating, sitting and looking at a test full of little questions that you “think” you know the answer but are not entirely sure.

I took a CBET review class taught by John Noblitt, MAEd, CBET. He kept telling us throughout the class that our goal was to get 105 questions correct out of 150, because that would give us a passing grade. In his own words “If you pass with 105, your title is CBET! not CBET BY ONE!.” I found it to be very funny but at the same time what he said is true. You must focus your efforts on making sure that you get all the “gimme” questions correct. That strategy will help you get to that 105 mark and give you a passing grade.

So hit the books (and apps! :D) now and get a head start!. It can’t hurt to be over-prepared for the exam, but it will definitely hurt you if you are underprepared. Make sure you employ all avenues of study. Take courses,  read text books,  join study groups watch videos of material in youtube.com. All those things coupled together should add up to at least 105 correct answers on your CBET exam.

 

Good Luck!
