Request to Retest For All Level and Secondary Tarleton State University

Read carefully - All Level and Secondary candidates who have taken and failed one attempt of

any one TExES exam must obtain retest approval prior to being granted permission to retest again. Remediation and/or proof of content proficiency is required to help ensure candidates are able to pass the exam within the fewest number of attempts as possible.

Before a PPR retest request will be considered, you must complete the study guide materials through 240 Tutoring (instructions are found on the last page of this form). Once you have completed ALL portions of the PPR study plan (the completion dates of the study guide must be after the date of your last exam attempt), submit this form along with a copy of your new passed practice exam score report showing 90% or better in all domains on one single report as well as a copy of your most recent TExES exam score report for retest review to Dr. Elizabeth Garcia (for the PPR Exam only) by email to degarcia@tarleton.edu.

If you are requesting a retake for a Content certification area exam, complete ALL modes of the 240 Tutoring study plan (Art, Music, and Theater consult with academic department). The completion dates of the study plan must be after the date of your last exam attempt. Submit this form along with a copy of your new passed practice exam score report showing 90% or better in all domains on one single report as well as a copy of your most recent TExES exam score report to the Program Coordinator for your academic major. After you have completed the requirements and received departmental approval,

submit all documentation to Brenda Strong, Box T-0790, Math room 101D, or strong@tarleton.edu. In the case of either exam, you may be required to complete additional preparation plans in addition to 240 Tutoring at the discretion of the individual departments. You must monitor your Pearson testing account for entered approvals.

This test preparation program takes a content first approach

1. Step One - The Diagnostic Test (Orange Score Report) will give the percent correct on the diagnostic test candidates are encouraged to take at the beginning to get a benchmark. This diagnostic test is to be considered an assessment, of your knowledge comprehension at that point in time. Scores for the Diagnostic Test are not an indication of how well you will perform on the Practice Test or the actual TExES exam. This is a baseline or starting point for your test preparation.

2. Step Two - The Study Guide Progress Report (Purple) provides information on percent completion of the study guide modules. Emphasis is placed on the completion of the content modules first to unlock the course ending practice test. The goal is to focus on content knowledge as opposed to question/answer memorization. Students have to complete the modules for each competency which include instructional materials (both written and videos), flash cards, and quizzes. A minimum score of 70% or higher must be achieved for each competency before the student is able to advance to the practice test.

3. Step Three ? The Practice Test (Green Score Report) will give the percent correct on the course ending practice test. This test will be available at the completion of the content modules and will be used to verify initial testing approval. The candidate is given three attempts at the practice exam and you are required to achieve and 90% or better in all domain areas for retest approval. You cannot shortcut the first two steps of the study plan and expect to achieve the requirement. If you are unable to achieve the required 90% or better scores required for retest on the domains, you will need to contact 240 Tutoring and ask them to reset your plan. Be aware that Tarleton faculty and staff will have access to all of your plans and will be able to monitor your progress.
