Real Results, Real Teachers

I used The Learning Liaisons to study for both my Texas Social Studies 7-12 and EC-12 Special Education exams. I used the "no fishing" and "no swimming" methods when taking the exams. I passed! Thank you!

When I switched and started using a program called The Learning Liaisons, I had already taken and failed my content exam twice and failed the ESL supplemental once. After discovering The Learning Liaisons, I passed each of my exams the next shot I took… The Learning Liaisons has been the most successful in teaching me not only the tested content but testing strategies as well.

The Learning Liaisons were a tremendous help! I passed my content exam and my PPR exam on the first attempt thanks to the amazing help that they provided. The strategies really work and the courses are easy to follow.

THE CHALLENGE:

Studying More Is Not Always the Answer

The TExES 186 exam requires more than memorizing vocabulary or working through disconnected practice problems.

You need to understand the content, recognize what each question is asking and know how to apply the right strategy under pressure.

Trying to piece together free videos, study guides and practice questions can leave you wondering:
  • Am I studying the right material?
  • Where are my biggest knowledge gaps?
  • Are these questions similar to the actual exam?
  • Am I truly ready for test day?


You do not need more disconnected resources. You need a clear, structured way to prepare.
