So I completed the pre-assessment questionaire. Then I ordered the Sager CTE Study giude atacost of $25.00 and took the per-assessment exam.
I have an MS in Chemistry and a BS in CHemisyty and a BS in Physics. I did very well on the exam and have 8 years of teachig experience behind me. I can tell you that the study manual is of no use in completing the exam. The guide indictaes guessing will get you 25% on the exam. This is a poor phiosophy when approaching math problems that are right or wrong.
Additionally, I sent a confirmational e-mail indicating I had completed the exam and then 6 hurs later received the e-mails indicating I should request a test from the tesing center if I had not received the original e-mail indicating the link to the exam.

So it has been 2 weeks since I took the test. Einstin himself could not have completed the 100 questions in 45 min - 1 hour. Also, a calculator or slide rule would be required to determine the answers to the questions involving trigonometric identities.
I am now assuming I have been ripped off and this is all a SCAM to get you to buy the Sager CTE Manual from "Sager Products" [email protected].
I am appalled that these people would take advantage of the unemployed who are seeking out real and valid career opportunities.
