Taking the CORE Elementary Education Generalist exam can be a daunting task. Because its goal is to test your classroom readiness across the spectrum of content, it covers a lot of ground. This breadth can make it hard to know how to prepare. Luckily, if you understand how the test is organized and what it is testing, you will have no problem prepping for this test. In order to cover everything needed to teach elementary education, the exam is broken into four subtests, which are broken into 6-8 competencies each.
| Questions | Time limit | |
|---|---|---|
| Subtest 1 | 50 | 60’ |
| Subtest 2 | 50 | 90’ |
| Subtest 3 | 40 | 45’ |
| Subtest 4 | 40 | 45’ |
You will have 4 hours to complete all 4 Subtests.
The CORE Elementary Education Generalist exam in its entirety consists of 180 multiple-choice questions: 50 questions each on Subtest 1 and Subtest 2, and 40 questions each on Subtest 3 and 4. The test is administered via computer. Because of this, there can be a variety in the style of questions that are asked.
You should expect to see three main types of questions: single-answer, stimulus-based, and cluster. You should expect most questions to require you simply to click an oval next to the correct answer. They may ask you to zoom in on details in a graphic or picture, click boxes next to all that apply, click on checkboxes, click on parts of a graphic or sentence, use a drag and drop feature, or select your answer from a drop-down menu.
