SPECIAL ED. GENERAL CURRICULUM TEST

[Asma Ahmad]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has taken the Special Ed. General Curriculum Test for teacher certification yet. If so, can you give those of us who are taking it tomorrow some advice?

Thanks,
Asma

It's about 60 questions, and it's a mix of general curriculum questions (like math, geography--including weather, which was weird, and reading comp.) and special ed.-specific questions. There are a few questions about things like Illinois policy, and then questions like "Johnny has a hearing impairment. To be as inclusive as possible, do you make him sit by himself so that there isn't noise near him, put him in a special classroom, or give him an FM receiver and seat him with other students?". I didn't study anything special ahead of time, and it wasn't really that different from the SLP test.

Good luck tomorrow!

I also took it. I think the majority was on general curriculum and sometimes how to teach a certain subject to someone with a particular disability. If you're unsure what to answer, pick the one that sounds like the most ideal scenario or response, not what you think actually happens in a school.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I really appreciate your help!
