Varsity Tutors can help you find the best Albany Praxis prep solution for your needs. There are a variety of Praxis exams given throughout the United States which are used as part of the teacher certification process. Whether you will soon be graduating from the College of Saint Rose and you want to get ready for your first Praxis exam or you graduated from the University at Albany, SUNY years ago and are now working towards an additional certification, professional prep resources can be invaluable. Keep reading to discover more about Praxis exams and how Varsity Tutors can help you maximize your preparation efforts.
What can Albany Praxis prep cover?
All Praxis exams are designed and delivered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Tests are computer-based, and scores are calculated based on the number of questions the tester answers correctly. This type of scoring means there is no penalty associated with choosing the wrong answer, so it is better to at least attempt to answer each item. The format of the exam, as well as the number of questions and time given for completion, varies by test.
Varsity Tutors can help you develop an Albany Praxis preparation strategy that includes being connected with an experienced private instructor or enrolling in a prep course. Each option allows you to receive expert supervision as you prepare for your upcoming test. The difference lies in how they assist you with that preparation. Let's examine each option.
How can an Albany Praxis prep course help me prepare?
A prep course can provide you with a routine time to devote to your studies as well as a structured program to follow. These are two of the most critical factors to successfully preparing for a standardized exam, and they are the most difficult for many testers to implement on their own. When you take a professionally designed course, all of the work of locating the right materials is done for you.
All of your sessions will be held in a convenient and secure online classroom. Attending an online course has many different benefits. First, you won't have to add time to your study schedule to account for a commute to and from class. That saved time can be used for additional preparation or for other responsibilities. Taking a group course can also be more affordable because the cost of designing and implementation is dispersed.
When it's time for your session to begin, you will only need a reliable internet connection and your digital device to log in. When you arrive, you'll instantly have the best seat in class with a front row view of the teacher and any shared resources displayed on the digital whiteboard. After the instructional portion of the class, your teacher may pair students together or create small groups, so that students can help facilitate the learning process. Working in groups has been shown to be beneficial in academic growth.
Just because you're in a group doesn't mean you won't have an opportunity to ask questions. If you need clarification or assistance, you can ask the teacher. If you need more in-depth help, you can request additional time outside of your regularly scheduled session.
How is working with an Albany Praxis tutor different from taking a class?
While an Albany Praxis prep class is a group learning environment, working with a private instructor provides an individualized experience. Since your teacher will only be working with you during a session, they will have the opportunity to get to know your learning style, academic strengths and weaknesses, and specific testing goals. That information can then be used in the development of your personalized plan of study.
You can choose to have a comprehensive review of the material covered in your upcoming exam, or you can have your private instructor focus only on those areas you most need to review based on your particular learning situation.
Your sessions will all be held via our Live Learning Platform, which places you and your teacher face-to-face online. This provides the same convenience as our courses, but with all of the instructor's attention on you, there is more opportunity for you to ask questions and receive direct feedback.
How can I get started with Albany Praxis prep?
Varsity Tutors makes it easy to begin and implement your Albany Praxis prep solution. Whether you want to be connected to a highly qualified personal instructor who can work with you one-on-one, or you want to enroll in a collaborative group course, we can make the process quick and easy.
