Preparing for the PLT
There are some materials available which students can use to help prepare for the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) Test. Students may want to wait until later in their Block II semester to take the test, but it is suggested to take it prior to student teaching.
Go to www.ets.org/praxis -- click on "Test Preparation" for information about Tests at a Glance. This provides the most up-to-date information to assist test takers in selecting the correct information for the test they need to take.
