CPCE and NCE TEST-TAKING STRATEGIES WORKSHOP - ON CAMPUS

Drs. Levette Scott and Kelly King

Friday, February 7, 2020: 8 a.m. - 2 p.m.

North Carolina Central University, School of Education, Room 1076

The purpose of this workshop is to assist students and non-students with the strategies and skills necessary to take the NCE and CPCE Examinations. Topics include managing test-taking anxiety, personalizing a study plan, and practicing multiple study strategies (e.g., mnemonic devices, flash cards). This workshop is meant to supplement other studying on core content that you have been doing. While we will cover exam content throughout the day, it will not be our sole or primary focus. Please sign up by Friday January 31, 2020.
