Praxis, Praxis, where art thou Praxis...

Went to my first Praxis test prep class. I've never been to a televised class before. Its kinda cool. The teacher was in our class and we could see about 20 more students from other areas on tv! She was a bitch though. They changed the date AGAIN and I never recieved a call from anyone. She said (in a witchy voice), "well they called twice, you're just going to have to read to catch up-my pretty." I had missed Monday's class because that was NOT AT ALL when it was suppose to start.
I cannot believe I don't remember basic Algebra and Geometry!! This is so very sad! Writing, I can do since every college class known to man assigns research or essay papers. So, she hands us a page that has fractions, percentages and decimal points *insert laughing smiley here*. Hmmmmm 1/2 = 50% = .5 WOOOOWWWW! But some of the triangle bullshit and the other crap will have to come to me at some point. I looked at a practice test of 3 math problems and couldn't do ONE.

Ho hum..i'll get there, I'll get there. I once mindlessly studied for a computer certification by memorizing all of the answers to 100 questions in one week and aced it. I guess I do have the potential to remember things sometimes.

The Praxis II test is in the subject area I will be teaching. The first test is Art: Content Knowledge.

Categories:

1. Traditions in Art, Architecture, Design, and the Making of Artifacts
2. Art Criticism and Aesthetics
3. The Making of Art

2nd test is Art: Content, Traditions, Criticism, and Aesthetics

Categories:

1. The Content of Works of Art
2. Global Traditions in Art, Architecture, and Design
3. Criticism and Aesthetics

Not sure if I need to take both or just one but they both seem hard to me. I can't find a practice test for the life of me to see some example questions. I think I need to retake art history for a refresher.

The Praxis III is in classroom curriculums. It has to do with someone else evaluating you on your organization and curriculum instructions and things like that.

Like I said....I'll get there. And who knows, maybe I can go work with Mrs. Weaver from Sherwood. That would be wierd.
