Pre-Admission Content Tests (PACT)
Degreed applicants to the TLU Post-baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program who do not have the number of semester hours required for each certification area, but who do have at least 18 hours, may demonstrate their content proficiency by taking the TExES content-area exam in their area of certification. Please refer to the Information Regarding Pre-Admission Content Tests (PACT) from the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC). We suggest that you take this exam even if you meet the semester-hour requirments noted above because you must pass the exam prior to your internship. Your score report will also indicate areas that you need to study to be a more effective teacher and/or to pass the exam should you not pass on your first attempt.
Prior to taking the examination, download and study the related preparation manual from the ETS site and take the sample test at the end of the manual. If you wish to take a more predictive practice exam, please arrange to do so by calling the Department of Education-PBTCP at (830) 372-6557.
If you are interested in starting the program with the January 2010 course (Instructional Strategies), your application package must be complete and on file with the Department of Education-PBTCP by January 12, 2010.
