What Do We Mean When We Say Test-Aligned?

Our curriculum team studies all of the standards and competencies for the CTEL exam and cross-references them with the current and previous questions released by the official testing company. We then work with content and teaching experts to distill down what test-takers need to know. No matter where you are in the study guide, you can always see how the concept you are learning is aligned to the test standards.

Guide Features

Discover Your Strengths and Weaknesses Using a Diagnostic Test

Our study guide is uniquely arranged based on your diagnostic assessment that you take at the beginning of every study guide. We take the data of your strengths and weaknesses, along with the weighting of each area on the exam, to create a custom study plan and experience, just for you.

Learn Your Way, with a Personalized Learning Path

Our curriculum is written by teachers who have been in your shoes and passed these exams. It is then personalized based on the results from your diagnostic, so your studying what’s most important first. Our curriculum contains test-aligned instructional content, flashcards, and videos that are fun and engaging (finally)! No more old outdated video content like other test prep providers.

Assess Your Knowledge with Dynamic Quizzes

Your check for understanding is tested with quizzes for every concept. And since our study guides are “smart”, as we find areas of improvement, we’ll continue testing you on the concepts you need to focus on the most.

Feel Confident on Test Day, with Timed Practice Tests

The study guide includes three full-length practice tests. These tests are designed to mimic the real exam, meaning they have the same numbers of questions and time limit as the real exam. Scoring above a 90% unlocks your money-back guarantee.
