I read the handbook over and over and I still only got a 71%. Any of you who did pass can you please give the rest of us some hints or advice?? Thank you!

Here's the way I went from 74% to 94%. I took the first sub pretest. I picked my ego off the floor and studied the book, read it through, blah, boring. Took the pretest again, got high score in the 90's. Was confident now. Took the real test. Got horrible low score in the 70's again (noticed the questions were different than the pretest). Picked my ego up off the floor and went through the book with a yellow highlighter and made notes with a pen in the margins. Took the first section of the test again. Score not good enough for me. Decided to retake each section (Fill-in, Teaching Methods, etc.) separately until I was out of 4 chances. I only had to do this with one section. I then studied each of the other sections intensely before taking that sections test. I took my time. I had to re-log in repeatedly after studying. By this time the manual made perfectly good sense to me and I was quite fond of it. I also noticed I could take my time and carefully read through the sometimes trickily-worded questions ("what is not a good way to use non-coercive methods..."), while at the same time referring to the yellow-highlighted glossary in which I had noted the page numbers of more detailed information in the main chapters. You can do it if you want it enough. I had to set aside a weekend for it. I also got burned out a bit (too much information overload), and had to often get out of the room and do other things for a few minutes. Sometimes I was springing in and out of the room like a yo-yo. But I had a goal to achieve it within the weekend and I kept at it until I did. This is what worked for me. Good luck. Keep trying.
