My initial reaction is negative. I have registered- started and then stopped this test and cannot return after 26 questions. Obviously this is a problem, because I see a similar e-mail in early August. Why do I have to deal with technical problems?
I am a 31 year veteran teacher, now forced to take this course. I would say this is not a very positive introduction to a returning teacher.

I don't understand why people with teaching experience need to go through this. Then again, I do understand because some teachers are not good at what they do, and shouldn't be in the classroom anyway.
Just because you earned a degree doesn't mean you can teach.
I took the strength finder test before I recieved my review book/materials, and scored a little lower than I thought I would. While I've been rather successfull in the classroom, there's always tips and tricks one can review/use to better their performance.
I'm still upset with the no child left behind act, as that took many jobs from many people - many of whom did not have certification in the subject they were teaching, but mastered it over the years and their students met AYP in the said subject - that should have some weight in the decision to let you teach your preferred subject.

I'd like to know specifically which questions I got wrong so I can target those areas for further study and understanding. Also the question about actions constituting sexual harassment appears to give four answers that could all be interpreted as wrong in a particular context. Are you looking for "Least Likely"? Perhaps a new type of question should be constructed that better tests our understanding.

Many questions (espessially about dress code and sexual harrasment) are incorrect. There is more then one wright answer or none of them.
I agree that it would bi nice to know which answers are incorrect.
This test also has much burocracy in it rather then real things.
