Just got my score back. So close it hurts.
I felt okay going in but clearly there were gaps. Looking back at my prep, I spent a lot of time on "TExES 268" but I think I underestimated how deep they go on TExES 268 exam.
The weird thing is I scored fine on the concept questions but tanked on the application ones. Like I understood the theory but when it came to scenario-based questions I kept second-guessing myself.
For anyone who's failed and then passed — what changed? Did you switch study materials? More practice tests? Different time of day?
Also curious whether the TExES 268 score report tells you which sections you were weak in. Mine just shows an overall score and I have no idea where exactly I lost points.
Quick data point: I spent 9 weeks studying, 1-2 hours a day, and passed with a 85%.
The section on TExES 268 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.
The honest answer is: it depends a lot on your background.
If you're already working in this field, the TExES 268 exam is testing knowledge you probably use daily. The "TExES 268" sections will feel familiar.
If you're coming in from outside, give yourself an extra 2 weeks and really focus on the practical application questions.
The practice tests here are worth doing repeatedly — I did the same test bank multiple times and found new questions I'd missed each time.
