Too many teachers are restricted from getting their credential and a teaching job at the last moment because of a failing score. Start preparing for the test and take it early in the credential process. If you do fail early in the credential process the effects won’t be as damaging and you won’t risk delaying your professional progress. You will not be so stressed taking this test at the very end and risk holding up your credential and teaching career. Ideally, you should take the RICA as close to the end of your reading course as possible so you remember the information. It will be to your advantage to take your prior knowledge from your reading course while it is still be fresh in your memory and blend it into a RICA Comprehensive Success System to pass. If you do poorly on the RICA earlier in the credential process the consequences will be less damaging. Although the RICA is not as difficult as the CSET you need time combined with a quality preparation program. Why not be on the safe side and over prepare? The cost of under preparing is a lot higher than over preparing. This extra effort may not be a waste of time, but get you quicker to your goal.

We explain precisely what areas to focus and allocate your time to study. Who has time to study what will not be on the exam? We stay abreast of the changes currently being made on the CSET test and RICA exam. Start preparing now and allow yourself to be successful.
