Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. For specific exam prep you will need to state the subject you need: Agriculture, etc. and it is necessary to have Acrobat Reader v.5 That is free, I believe but that is top read the PDF files. Here is the general prep guide:
NYSTCE Secrets Study Guide
"How to Ace the New York State Teacher Certification Examinations (NYSTCE), using my easy step-by-step NYSTCE study guide, without weeks and months of endless studying..."
Dear Friend,
If you'd like to get the NYSTCE score you deserve, to quit worrying about whether your NYSTCE score is "good enough," and to beat the test taking game, then this might be the most important message you read this year.
Our comprehensive NYSTCE study guide is written by our NYSTCE experts, who painstakingly researched every topic and concept you need to know to ace your NYSTCE. Our original research into the New York State Teacher Certification Examinations (NYSTCE), offered by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) and National Evaluation Systems (NES), reveals specific weaknesses that you can exploit to increase your NYSTCE score more than you've ever imagined.
Regardless of which NYSTCE test you have to take- you have come to the right place. Here you will find everything you need to know in order to be successful and get your certification.
Now, I know you're probably skeptical. That's normal and healthy. Let me give you three good reasons we can back up what we claim: Three Reasons To Believe What I Say
Reason one:
In case you don't already know me, my name is Peter Morrison and I manage a team of standardized test researchers who set out to find and exploit the weaknesses of the NYSTCE. I have very strict standards for who gets to work on the team- I demand the best for my customers, and only those who met my exacting standards made the cut.
My company's name is Morrison Media LLC, and we maintain a dedicated research staff that have years of combined experience in cracking the code of the toughest exams.
Reason two:
Some academic studies have revealed that test takers do not really benefit from traditional test preparation. But we knew there had to be a solution- if test takers were not doing well on the NYSTCE despite high intelligence, there had to be a set of secret keys to the test that would open the door of success for these test takers.
We believe we have succeeded in finding the secret keys of this exam. What we found was surprising, and in some cases ridiculously simple once explained to the average test taker.
We put our findings together in a thorough, concise study guide that we believe allows any test taker, at any skill level, to improve his or her results dramatically with a minimum of effort.
Reason three:
I created this product in part because I was sick of the options available to test takers who really wanted to do well on the NYSTCE.
A common approach is to TEACH the material, instead of TEACHING THE TEST. That's not necessarily good enough for the NYSTCE- you have to know how to apply the knowledge. Most test takers already have a general knowledge of what will be covered on the exam.
One reason some test takers do well on test day is that they have made the critical connection between the material they learned and how to use that material to succeed on the NYSTCE.
Our guide addresses the difference between merely knowing the material and knowing how to use the material to perform on test day.
You're going to save time, money, and aggravation. You'll learn to avoid the mistakes and bad strategies that you've been vulnerable to. Just for starters, here are some ways our product can help your NYSTCE score... Exclusive Test Taking Techniques

Now, you're probably wondering how and why we can do all those things.

Listen to what our customers say about other Morrison Media products.
I purchased your Secrets file, and I just wanted to let you know that I got a 99% on my test. I just want to thank you again, and hope you have continued success in your ventures. Sincerely, Paul L.
My name is Chris. I used the Secrets study guide for five days. The study guide made the test so easy to understand. Like you said this program is worth 100's of dollars. To me 1,000's!! THANKS, Chris G.
I just had to thank you guys for the test prep! I bought the guide as a last minute prep, I mean maybe 5 hours before the test. Like I said, I had ZERO preparation! I was nervous about the test let alone receiving the score I needed. I read the guide through only once before test time and needless to say, the only way I passed was thanks to your refresher!! Brian
Just dropping you a note to let you know that I am completely satisfied with the product. I had already taken the test once and landed in the 75 percentile of those taking it with me. I took the test a second time and used some of your tips and raised my score to the 97 percentile. Thanks for my much improved score. Denise W.
I heard about your website from a friend. I am enrolled in a review course, and in hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have taken my review course and instead spent a fraction of the money on your program. Thank you! Zac L.
To read even more testimonials, click here Warning: Always Look for These 6 Criteria
There is a lot of confusion surrounding studying for the NYSTCE, and standardized tests in general. In our opinion, these are the 6 criteria you should always look for in a study guide for the NYSTCE:
One: It must be written by writers who have painstakingly researched the topics and concepts needed to succeed on the NYSTCE. The blind cannot hope to lead the blind.
Two: It must be written in easy-to-use everyday language so all test takers can access the information.
Three: It should be to-the-point, with no fluff to distract the test taker from the truly important information.
Four: It must address the test first, the material second. If the material was the only thing that was important, then every test taker that understood the material should get a perfect score- that doesn't happen because there's a difference between simply knowing what's on the test and test performance. You want a study guide to close that gap.
Five: It must motivate the test taker to actually study. If it's hard to read, studying is slow and painful, and will produce meager results.
Six: The guide must be guaranteed- if you don't pass with flying colors, you get your money back- no questions asked. You get at least 10 times your money's worth!
When you consider what's at stake with your exam, we believe the value of our study guide gives you at least ten times your money's worth.
In summary, here's what you get:
