Saturday I took the GACE for what is hopefully the ONLY time. It was a crazy day in the making, starting at 8AM. Our sorority yard sale had begun a few hours early and luckily I was able to sleep in for a few hours considering I had to take the GACE at 1PM. It was busy with customers and from what I heard brought in a good deal of money for our philanthropy.
From there, I rushed home to grab some lunch and get ready for what would be after the GACE. Packed up some clothes, grabbed some jewelry and headed towards Clarke Central High School. I arrived with plenty of time before the exam started. I was extremeley surprised to see how many people were at the test location taking the exam. It was quite overwhelming.
The tests itself was not that bad. Literacy was a littel difficult for me, but the other subjects I feel that I did pretty well. I will anxiously await for my scores to post in a few weeks!
Since the exam started about 45 minutes behind what I had expected, I was late getting to my other event for the evening. Back to sorority duties, I rushed to pick up a few girls and head towards Atlanta for the Georgia Ovarian Cancer Awareness Gala. It was so exciting to be volunteering at such a chic and formal occasion in downtown Atlanta. Though my nerves were a bit shaken from the exam, I was still able to have a fabulous night dining and celebrating our cause.
Hmmmm....I wonder what it was about literacy that was difficult? This helps me see what I am missing in my teaching so I hope you'll let me know (or maybe we can share this in class.) I don't want you all to feel unprepared.
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy weekend!
Thanks for sharing it. I was looking for more information about the CSET test and reading these types of article made me think about the test. Well, I am using CSET test study guides for my preparation and I must say that these guides’ gives exactly piece of information about the question pattern. If someone here used CSET study guides than can tell how much contribution it gave in your exam.
