Study Strategies That Work
Create a Study Schedule
Plan your preparation over 4-8 weeks. Dedicate more time to content areas with higher percentages on the PECT PreK-4.

Simulate exam conditions with timed practice tests. Review every question, especially the ones you got wrong.
Focus on Weak Areas
After practice tests, identify your weak content areas and spend extra time reinforcing those topics.
Master Time Management
You'll have about 100 seconds per question. Practice pacing yourself.
Use Elimination Strategies
For multiple-choice questions, eliminate obviously wrong answers first to improve your odds on difficult questions.
