Congratulations! You might not realize it, but you’ve taken one of the most important steps in your teaching career by using the 240 Tutoring Study Guide.

You might be feeling overwhelmed by everything you have to study, anxious about what happens if you fail, or confused about where exactly to start.

We are invested in your success and want you to get the most you can out of our guides. We recommend you follow these steps to get started with our study guides. And if for some reason you’re reading this and haven’t subscribed yet, it’s time to get started.

How To Get the Most Out of Your 240 Tutoring Study Guide

The standards for every exam cover a LOT of material. But the team of experts at 240 has studied them and determined what is most important to know in each area. 

We present the study information to you in the form of concepts.

Once you access the study guide, you’ll see that your study guide is organized as a list of key concepts from your exam.

We are here to explain how to use your study guide, starting with what you need to study most, and how we guarantee you’ll pass. Let’s get to it! 

Taking Diagnostic Assessment

We call it your plan to pass – because it gives your study guide all the info it needs about your individual performance to create your personalized study plan.

After you take the assessment, the concepts on your guide will be shuffled into a custom order of priority for you.

What’s at the top is your highest priority – studying these will make the most significant difference in boosting your score.

So starting at the top and working your way down is the most efficient use of your time.

In each concept, you’ll find three tools to ensure you master the skills needed to pass your test:

• Instructional content

• Flashcards

• And quizzes.

Instructional Content

The instructional content is the backbone of our study guide.

It’s the part that actually teaches you how to do everything you need to know for your test.

We’ve loaded it up with instructional videos and examples to ensure you understand each concept.

Flash Cards

Next, you’ve got flash cards.

These guys are super helpful when it comes to mastering vocabulary.

See a term, quiz yourself on the definition, and flip it over to see if you’ve got it!

Quizzes

Then you’re ready to take a quiz.

Whether you get a question right or wrong, we’ll give you feedback to ensure you understand why an answer is correct or incorrect.

And here’s the cool part – if you don’t pass the quiz on your first try, we give you a fresh form of 10 questions, so you can be confident that you can apply your knowledge to different scenarios – not just memorize it.

Practice Tests

Now, this is really important to know as you complete your study guide: Quizzes are the key to unlocking your full-length practice tests. 

Once you’ve reviewed all the content and flashcards and passed one quiz in each concept, your first practice test will unlock.

It’s great that you can access it quickly because the practice test is the best indicator of how prepared you are to pass since it’s designed to replicate the real exam.

After you’ve taken the first practice test, make sure to review your practice test report.

Pay close attention to your performance scores in each concept, noting the areas where you scored lowest.

This way, you can go back and review the content and flashcards in those specific areas.

We know this is the best way to study – to go back and do a little review before taking another stab at the test.

And that’s why you’ll need to pass another quiz from each concept to unlock practice test 2.

Finally, you’ll do the same thing to unlock practice test 3. Pass one more quiz on each concept.

240 Money Back Guarantee

Remember when I said we guarantee you’ll pass?

Well, if you score 90% or higher on one practice test, but you fail your real exam, you qualify for our money-back guarantee!

There you have it! Now I have just a few more tips before you go.

Test-Taking Strategies

Of course, you need to know the material to answer questions correctly on exam day, but it is also extremely helpful to know key test-taking strategies.

Be sure to check out the Study & Test Taking Strategies button on the side of your study guide.

Here we give you the tools you need to study effectively and a plan of attack for answering any test question you’re given

Did you notice that the concepts have a little gray heading above each one of them? That’s the section or big area, they fall under.

If you struggle with a particular concept, you can always return to the default order and spend some extra time on all the interrelated content within that section.

Next Step Tool Bar

And we can’t ignore the Your Next Step toolbar!

If you’re ever in doubt about what you need to do next, or you’ve only got a few minutes to study, just click this button and it’ll drop you straight into your next highest priority item to work on.

Those feelings of overwhelm and confusion? Not on our watch!

There you go. You have everything you need at your fingertips, now- it’s up to you.

You want to pass your test so you can start making a difference as a teacher, and we’re here to help you every step of the way.  Start studying today!
