and when you go for permanent certification you have to do the video, which if I remember correctly is the ATS-P.

You guys rock.

So the CST test I have to take is the multi one, right...? There were a billion choices - all subject specific...

She may not be eligible for permanent certification. Now you have to do professional cert which means no video and 175 hours of PD every 5 years.

Thanks - the whole reciprocity thing is driving me nuts. Why I have to pay double to take essentially the same 3 tests is beyond me.

I wont be elligible until I pass the three tests....then I can work towards it. So I want to try and get them done before even coming to NY.

The ATS-P is no longer required for the Professional license.

I was so excited when I heard about the no video change. To be honest the tests are not that bad. I know a few of my friends had to take it several times to pass, but if you actually review some of the concepts, you'll breeze through it. Good Luck.

i believe its the LAST, ATS-W elementary and the CST for multi subjects.


edited: barnes and noble has a review book that has the LAST and the ATS-W review and practice exams in one book

there is no such thing as a permanent certification anymore...you do not have to do a video, instead you have to send in paperwork every 5 years and if you dont you will lose your certification

really? wow, that freakin *****

I was lucky -- I got permanent reading K-12 in 2003 before they switched over to the specific age catagories.

175 hours of PD is insane if it's not 'in house'.
