My mom (the teacher) convinced me to take the PRAXIS. I'm a bit bitter because in NJ to be a certified Bio teacher, I need to take: Biology Content, General Science Part I and Gen Sci Part II. Meanwhile my Eng friend had to take one exam. Should I want to be any other kind of science teacher, I need to take more exams.
I passed 2/3 on my first try...Bio Content was a BIATCH!!!! Seriously, they asked the most specific things like "What plant hormone controls the blah blah blah?" And its a big crock of crap that it tests things learned in Bio 1 & Bio 2. Most things that were tested I learned in my 300 & 400 level bio classes.
Not that I'm using the test anyway...I decided on going to grad school instead of teaching. What a waste of 2 days. Le sigh.
