A close look at the OGET scores from elementary education majors showed that Cameron students are generally successful on their persuasive essay, but sometimes have trouble passing the communication skills multiple choice sections. The questions in that section focus on grammar -- specifically grammar terminology and identifying examples in sentences.

To help with that section, we suggest you spend time studying the "Grammar Bytes" website found at http://chompchomp.com/menu.htm. Here you will find an easy to use and understand list of terms with their definitions along with handouts to study. You can also practice using the interactive activities that mirror the types of questions on the OGET. (And there is lots of applause for correct answers!)

If you need help on the math sections of the OGET, you might want to watch the following videos from the Khan Academy on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/khanacademy/videos?query=mtel  In the videos a teacher walks through all of the questions on the Massachusetts teacher test for general knowledge, giving the right answers on the test page. It's not the OGET itself, but should be very close in content.
