Thank you for helping me go into the FTCE Music test feeling prepared. I appreciate the videos, especially those with a touch of humor. I do not have a music history background, but after taking the course, I passed with relative ease. Thanks again!

Trying to find the resources when studying for state licensure exams can be extremely difficult, but along came Study.com! I used Study.com to study for my FTCE k-12, FTCE Special Education, and Praxis Special Education exams. Without Study.com I would have failed but, I have passed 3/6, with only 3 left to take until all my exams are completed and one step closer to being a Special Ed Teacher. Thank you Study.com!

This was the most helpful studying service I have ever received. I have tried multiple services, lots of studying on my own, and flash cards. I have failed many times and couldn't do better. This was the one that helped me the most and at the end I finally passed.
