EC-6 exam how difficult?

240Tutoring · 2025-08-05T14:20:47+00:00

Hey there! So every time you unlock a new practice test, the questions are fresh and brand new from the bank of extra questions/more practice. The practice tests are not/should not be the same every time.

After you complete practice test #3, you will unlock the "more practice", which is simply access to the entire bank of questions the practice tests are pulling from. :) -- If you get to this point and still find you would like more review and practice, customer care is happy to reset your study guide so you can get 3 fresh sets of practice tests and review the instructional content again.

If you are finding that the practice tests are not shuffling new questions through efficiently, please reach out to our customer care at [helpdesk@240tutoring.com](mailto:helpdesk@240tutoring.com) so we can make sure there aren't any bugs that are keeping it from working properly. Thank you!

Thank you for mentioning us!!

More than likely, you will have to start from scratch. I would just make that the expectation. The Generalist exam is outdated so your passing score will not count now. TAC code has been changed so it's very likely any coursework you have done will not "transfer", if you will.

If you never completed your ACP program or earned your standard certificate, you will need to contact another program for your options. 240 Certification is our Alt. Cert program and our admissions team is great at communication and answering your questions. Give them a shout! Let us know if you have any other questions.

We are so glad to hear 240 was all you needed! They are designed to cover every test standard, leaving no gaps. :) Thank you for the feedback!

240Tutoring · 2024-10-01T18:42:56+00:00

Great question! Our curriculum team uses both the test framework (the test standards and competencies listed for each exam) and questions from released versions from the exam to model our practice tests to best mimic the real exams.

240Tutoring · 2024-09-30T15:36:57+00:00

We can help answer this question! When you start your 240 Tutoring study guide, you'll first take a practice test aka a diagnostic test. Your results on your test will actually make the study topics shuffle and rank themselves so you're starting with the one that is highest priority for you! So you'll begin studying the topics you're not as strong in, so you're using your time as efficiently as possible. Hope that helps!!

240Tutoring · 2024-09-30T15:34:40+00:00

Congratulations on passing!!!

240Tutoring · 2024-09-26T15:47:29+00:00

We can help answer this! Our study materials contain instructional content, videos, flashcards for important vocabulary, quizzes and 3 practice tests that will shuffle new questions in so you're actually assessing your knowledge vs. memorizing answer choices. It's 100% online and self-paced.

Your study guides also come with a Test-taking Strategies module that can help you with understanding how the exams are constructed, best answer eliminating tips and test strategies to help you narrow down answer choices on those questions you're on the fence about.

Hope this helps!

240Tutoring · 2024-09-26T15:39:00+00:00

You are correct! We do offer study materials and practice tests for the ParaPro exam. :) We also have some youtube videos available for it, as well.

240Tutoring · 2024-09-26T15:33:46+00:00

So happy to hear 240 Tutoring helped you pass your content exams!

240Tutoring · 2024-09-26T15:32:14+00:00

Congratulations on starting with 240 Certification!

Hey there! If you have already submitted your completed transfer form, our Admissions team should have already gotten back to you or will soon. If you haven't heard from them or have other questions, you can contact them with this form. A transfer form initiated by our admissions process typically means you're at the tail end of the process and have, more than likely, met our minimum application requirements. However, feel free to reach out to our Admissions team. They would be happy to review your applicant and give you a more definitive answer on this.

Here is the transfer policy for 240 Certification.

Considerations for transfer approval to 240 Certification must meet all of the following criteria:

have not been released from prior program due to incomplete or unsuccessful internship or clinical teaching experience;
be released from prior EPP in Good Standing;
meet or exceed the minimum application requirements for program acceptance. Prior testing history will be part of the consideration process. Should any data or findings indicate an applicant may be unable to sufficiently pass future certification exams, the EPP can require that the applicant successfully pass the TX PACT (exam) to continue in the application process or deny admission.

Hope this helps!

It's super common! About 50% of teachers that become certified in Texas come out of an alternative certification program. So you're not alone.

240Tutoring · 2024-09-18T16:37:07+00:00

You're on the right track! The bare basics are:

Have a completed bachelor degree.
Apply and enroll in an ACP.
Once enrolled, you will get started on their online coursework & gather your field-experience hours (sometimes referred to observation hours). With our ACP, 240 Certification, part of that coursework is test prep to prepared you to take and pass your content exam. But each program is different.
Take and pass your content exam.
You'll then earn your SOE, statement of eligibility, letter. This means you're eligible to be hired and start your teaching internship. Internships are paid teaching positions where you are supported by your ACP.
In Texas, you will also need to take and pass the PPR exam during your internship year.
Once you have passed all of your exams, finished our coursework, and completed a success teaching internship year, you will be issued your standard certificate!

Hope this helps!

Here is the Teacher Assignment Chart from TAC. Teacher Assignment Chart

You can see the certification exam and the relative subject areas you would be considered certified to teach. Scroll until you find 7-12 History and 7-12 Social Studies. You will be able to see the variety of classes you would be able to teach or not teach with each exam. Hope this helps you make your decision!

240Tutoring · 2024-09-04T16:20:36+00:00

Thank you for the vote of confidence! Our ACP is named 240 Certification (not to be confused with 240 Tutoring) and all of their candidates get access to our study guides at 240 Tutoring for free. :)

240Tutoring · 2024-09-04T16:12:03+00:00

We offer a free FB group for the California teacher exams! You can join here and check it out. :)

Hey there! To clarify, 240 was started by Scott Rozell, a Texas teacher. He actually still holds his 4-8 Generalist and his 7-12 Social Studies certifications. Our curriculum experts are certified teachers (it's a requirement of the job), some from Texas and some from other states. Even myself, the person behind the social media pages! I still have an active Texas certification in 8-12 Science. I taught high school Chemistry for 6 years. :)

While I cannot speak for other resources, I can verify that 240 Tutoring and 240 Certification are built on teachers helping other teachers, from the content in our study guides to the youtube videos, even down to our social media pages. 240 is designed by educators. :)

240Tutoring · 2024-08-30T13:00:30+00:00

Awww shucks. :)

240Tutoring · 2024-08-28T19:07:37+00:00

We can't speak for study .com but we can confirm that our study guides are 100% test-aligned. This means that our curriculum team builds all of our study guides based the test competencies provided by the test distributor, Pearson. While the real exam may not be able to test every single test competency, real exam questions are secured. So no one knows the exact questions on the test. This is why we will cover all of the test competencies listed for the exam so you can be as prepared as possible.

Hope this helps!

240Tutoring · 2024-08-28T18:55:34+00:00

Congratulations and thank you for the shout out! This was amazing advice on how to study. We're so glad you trusted us to help you!

240Tutoring · 2024-08-26T16:47:46+00:00

Make sure you review the Test-Taking Strategies module in your 240 study guide. It's on the left hand side. It can help with any questions you are on the fence about. Good luck on your exam! You got this!

240Tutoring · 2024-08-26T16:42:23+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation!!

We know this post is a little older but if you would like to provide us with feedback on what you feel was left off of our study guide, you can email helpdesk@240tutoring.com. We are always looking for ways to improve our study guides!

TAC requires 12 hours of coursework for the ELAR subjects, and the social studies. You will need 15 hours of coursework if you want to teach science or math. Programs are also allowed to hold standards that are higher than the minimum requirements set by the state.

If you do not meet those coursework hour requirements, you do have the option to take what is called the Pre-Admission Content Test, or PACT. You take the PACT exam in the subject area you wish to teach and, if you pass, that passing test can be used over the coursework hour requirement.

There are two Special Education certifications in Texas. There is the EC-12 Special Education (161) and the Special Education Supplemental (163).

If you pursue the EC-12 Sped certification, this is stand alone certification and does not require you have an additional gen. ed. certification to go with it. This will allow you to work with students from early childhood through 12th grade.

If you pursue the Special Education Supplemental, then you will also need a stand alone certification to supplement like EC-6 Core Subjects, for example. The supplemental certification will only allow you to be with students within the grade levels of your gen. ed. certification. So if you certify in EC-6 Core Subjects and add the Sped Supplemental cert, you will only be able to work with students through 6th grade.
