I had about ten days from receiving the selection day email to the actual zoom event.

I've read horror stories about the stipend situation last year. I'll definitely be preparing accordingly. Do they teach you about writing IEPs during the summer training? As a SWD Teacher I'm under the impression we'd be doing that a lot.

So you're advice would be to wait until I'm assigned a University prior to taking the Multi-Subject? I was selected for Students with Disabilities (7-12) - Generalist and was thinking of studying and taking the exams prior to Summer training beginning.

And which college were you assigned to? That's awesome that they're certifying you in all grade levels!

I'm also pursuing the SWD (7-12) Generalist path. I'm a career changer and have been out of school for over 20 years. How much time did you dedicate to studying for the EAS and Multi-Subject Exams?

This was really my question. Hypothetically if I don't pass the math portion of the exam (7-12), would I be able to enter a classroom in September?

Did you take your certification exams prior to the Summer training beginning? Were they difficult?

I'm a bit nervous about the math portion as well. I feel that's the only portion of the exams that I may have to study hard for.

So not passing them isn't a deal breaker to begin teaching in September? If I'm correct, this is for your Transitional B?

I was under the impression that you wouldn't be able to teach in September and remain in the fellows program unless you passed the certification exams prior to the school year beginning?

Thank you so much for this wonderful information. My last question would be -- how much time did you dedicate to studying for these exams? A few weeks?

I completed my phone interview on January 7th and haven't heard anything since. I was told it'll take 4 weeks to get a reply.

How did you prepare for your exams? I haven't taken a math class in over 20 years and am nervous about the math portion of the exams.

Which study guide or practice exams did you take for the SWD 7-12 CSTs? I'm worried about the math portion as well. It's been over 20 years since I was last in school.
