During each of your Block semesters, you will receive access to 240 Tutoring as part of your class assignments.  You can chose to use 240 Tutoring as exam preparation as well by enrolling in the courses related to your certification exams and completing the following requirements:

• Complete the Plan To Pass/Diagnostic Test to determine strengths and weaknesses. This exam report can be downloaded and submitted to coe-tso@unt.edu as your baseline/initial practice exam.  Even if you score an 80 on the plan to pass/diagnostic test, it will not count towards test approval, but we will count it as your initial exam. Please include your name and UNT ID number when you submit the report.
• Complete a minimum of six-clock hours of study for any exam you are planning to use 240 Tutoring for. That means, if you are planning to use 240 Tutoring as your practice exam requirement for all domains of the Core EC-6 exam, you must complete six clock-hours in ELAR, six clock-hours in Math, six clock-hours in Social Studies, etc. to qualify.
• Pass a quiz in each unit to unlock a full-length practice exam.
• Pass a full-length practice exam with an 80 or better for any multiple-choice sections.
• For BTLPT, SPED and STR, there are constructed response sections that you will submit to Jessica Powell through the 240 Tutoring platform for scoring and feedback. A 2 or higher is required for each constructed-response section.
• Once you have the appropriate scores and clock-hours, download your score report and send it to COE-TSO@unt.edu with your name and UNT ID number.  The TExES Office will verify that you have completed the clock-hour requirement before accepting your score report.
