Took subtest 1+2 today, 3 on deck tomorrow. For first two subtest, I feel like I NAILED the essays because they were structured exactly how you teach them, which is not surprising haha One thing I did do is I took the 5 minutes I had to click "I agree" to the testing rules, then the full 10 minutes on the demo to write all of the information I had in my brain down from your videos. So I really had 15 minutes to do that, then the entire test time time to work on the actual test. Will be back in the next 3-4 weeks to see if I passed! Either way, thank you for all of your videos!
Hi Professor, sorry, it's me again to ask a question. In this case, I found that the student made mistakes with "to, too, two" and "there, their, they'll" in her reading long entry. If I choose homophone as a need instead of homonym in a test, is that ok? Thank you so much for your video! They're so helpful!!
Listen on the Go! distanceprep.podbean.com/ My podcast page is live, so that you can take the lectures with while biking, driving, exercising, etc. I have been told that my voice is a better sleep inducer than Ambian, but I cannot vouch for that. If that is the case, then maybe operating heavy machinery while listening to the lectures isn't such a good idea. Well, listen at your own risk. Access via iTunes will happen soon. Thanks for the interest, Chris B.
Hi Roger - I will need to watch the video again to hear what I was saying. I would answer the question that is presented on the screen and make it easy for the assessors to locate what they need to find. That way, the scorers will be able to award points to you, because they will be able to find the items quickly. Recall that I have not viewed the video yet (it has been awhile), I may change my observations. Thank you for watching the videos, and I hope that they continue to be helpful to you. Regards, Chris B.
Roger, no... just list at least one strength and 2 weaknesses (as I have taken the RICA 4 times already), and have paid for one online 2 week course and went to a seminar (both through teacher's prep). Get to the point on what they are asking. My answers on the case study that were shorter have yielded better scores. Anyways, concentrate on the multiple choice questions. They are 50% of the grade where as the case study (still important) is just 20%.
Roger, I tend to agree with PrinceMarcus William's real-world experiences. In my estimation, the scorers assess by rubric and they need to check off whether a candidate can identify strengths, needs, aligned and step by step lessons, and justifications. There is an easy way to organize that information, and these videos provide the examples: ua-cam.com/play/PLqtE950p5U021f4sfABXQpi26ZNuWuAqH.html I have not been able to review the video that you'd asked about to date, as I was battling a health issue in the hospital. I am home and easing back into things. I hope that the delay did not affect your studies, but the delay was unavoidable. Will try to review it soon, though this is my first day back typing. Best regards to you and PrincieMarcus William (thank you for sharing a hard-won but qualified perspective.
Hi Al - Yes, you can download everything here: distanceprep.podbean.com/. You should be able to find them on Spotify, iTunes, or what-have-you, too. Best of luck - you will pass this thing.

Homophone would be acceptable, I would think.

It says to describe three strengths and/or needs, and you essentially list 4. Is that okay to do? Love your videos, they have been very helpful!

Are all these videos available on an audio format to download? I’m going on a road trip and got 204 /220 on my first try.
