    The video doesn't specify what questions to write down on the colored flashcards and she doesn't show what the study guide books look like.

    Finally passed after failing twice 😩. I went through the same emotions as you, I was so paranoid that I wouldn’t be able to do my student teaching. The first I took it was in Nov 2020, and then in June 2021, which was a mistake taking a long gap. When I failed the second time, in the parking lot after the test I wrote down all the topics covered, so I made sure to study and review that. Then took it in July and passed! 😭

    Congratulations! I’m in the same boat, currently. I just took mine in Illinois and was four points away from passing! So discouraging. This video has given me so much advice! I student teach next January. 🤗

    Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I am supposed to retake my early childhood 206 exam January 14th. I am so nervous! I already failed twice and I have to pass by January 18th because of my program requirements. Seeing your video has given me encouragement. Thank you and congratulations on your achievements!

I took mine last Saturday (August 8th) but I’ve been using this studying app (study.com) and hopefully I can pass when I retake in September. Now I’m studying 1-3 hours EVERYDAY. Just don’t give up. Testing is hard but with hard work, persistent studying, & confidence we can pass 🤗❤️
