Took my ALST exam for the 4th time and I feel so much better about the exam and the essay structure. You should also check out " Deconstructing the NYSTCE" the best book for test prep!!! This book gives you exams and testing advice!!!Update....I passed the ALSTPractice writing a expository essay, and a persuasive essay...follow the book structures. It helped alot!!!
I liked this Barron practice book alot! It explains the material that will be covered on the tests very well, and gives a couple of example tests to help you know where you are at in terms of mastering the material. If you get a question wrong it explains why, and that is good in that you know why and how to do better next time. I passed both my EAS and ALST certification exams first time around after studying with this book for about 3 weeks, and I passed well over the 520 pass mark. So yes, this is a great book to study with!
I don't want to be mean, but this book is completely useless. I think it might actually hurt someone's chances of doing well on the tests. It's so basic, vague, and generic for tests that are really specific and of a relatively high level. I tried to read through it, but it was honestly painful. I'd like to sell it to try to get some of my $15 dollars back, but I'd feel guilty selling it to anyone. It's that bad.
I have now taken the ALST, EAS and Multi-Subject CST and used this book as a study guide. I found it very helpful and passed all of the tests. It's really important to take the practice tests and read through all of the explanations of the answers. Even if the questions on the actual test differ, you will notice a pattern and be able to predict what the answer will be on the test (especially for the EAS). Hope this helps!
This is the only preperation book that came out after the new NY teacher certification exams was issued. The materials in this book is satisfactory. In my opinion, the only way to study for this exam is to take several practice exam, work on your writing and paste yourself.
I recently took my Administrative Certification Tests for New York and this book was extremely helpful. I highly recommend it as it had a lot of information which was relevant to the test. This was recommended to me from one of my grad school teachers.
I was freaking out when I was told I had to take the new CST. It had been so long since I was in school and I was worried about taking the (now 3) exams in order to keep my certification. I believe this is the only book with information on the new CST. Inside, there was helpful information on all the tests as well as practice examples. I like how there was a little prep guide for each section of the CST exams and sample test for each. After the sample test, there were explanations for each answer. I also liked that the constructed response questions were very similar to what you would see on the exam.I also used practice tests from a company online, but I didn't like that the constructed responses weren't similar to the actual CST. Nor did I like the fact that they mix some of the subjects around. If you practice the math, try doing so while timing yourself. I thought I'd have so much time and I almost didn't get to finish.I passed my exams and hope I don't have to do this again! Good luck.
This book was perfect for studying for the EAS. I have pretty bad test anxiety and I found the book very helpful. I passed my exam on the first go. The two practice tests were great and so were the explanations at the end as to why each answer is correct or incorrect.
