Anyone found good free ALT study resources besides the obvious ones?

Quick data point: I spent 9 weeks studying, 2-3 hours a day, and passed with a 78%.

The section on ALT exam took me the longest to feel confident about. Eventually I just drilled practice questions until I could answer them without hesitation.

What testing center did you end up booking? Some of them have much shorter wait times than others right now.

Coming back to this thread because I just passed my ALT yesterday. Everything people said about the study guide section is spot on — that was the hardest part for me too. For anyone still studying, don't skip the applied questions in the alt planning & managing learning environments. They're the closest to what you'll actually see.

Still in the thick of studying for this myself, so curious what everyone else is experiencing. The content knowledge sections feel manageable but the pedagogy and instructional design portions are killing me — like, I know how to teach, but translating that into the specific frameworks they test on is a whole different thing. Anyone else struggling with how they phrase the "best practice" questions? Half the time two answers both seem reasonable and I'm just guessing at what the test writers wanted.

Genuine question for people who've passed: did you find the competency areas weighted pretty evenly, or did certain domains show up way more than expected? I've been spending most of my time on the alternative assessment and nontraditional learner sections because those felt most foreign to me, but now I'm second-guessing that split. Would love to know if that tracks with what others actually saw on test day.
