Welcome to TCA's
Latin ExCET Preparation

UT's ExCET prep this year (2007) will be at 9 AM on Saturday, March 24th in Waggener 116.

To teach in the state of Texas, individuals are required to pass the Examination for the Certification of Educators in Texas. The Latin ExCET is reported to be a difficult, challenging test requiring an ability to manage your time well plus mastery of your material.

A special thanks go to  Peder Christiansen, Ed George, Paul Allen Miller, and Tim Moore, who constructed a practice exam and compiled some review materials and tips for taking the exam.  The result of their hard work is this "mini-site" at TCA's main website. 

Additional thanks go to Tim Moore, who regularly reviews the material on this site, corrects errors and adds additional useful information. Without him, this site would not be up to date. Tibi gratias ago.

You can now find a study guide for the Latin ExCET online at http://www.excet.nesinc.com/ which is in PDF  and HTML formats.
