TECEP Public Relations Advice Needed - AngelaP - 01-22-2016
I am considering taking the TECEP Public Relations Thought and Practice. Can anyone give me some advice on studying for this?
TIA!

I am taking it too, and I bought the book (usually needed for TECEP's) and IC has flashcards for this one.
Anyone else with helpful advice on what to study, it's appreciated!

I'm also scheduled to take this at the end of February. I know Dina took it, and I think Ruth did too.

Lots of Eval questions. How, when.
A few questions asking whether this situation is ethical because or unethical because...

A good portion of the questions were scenario based. If the organization wants this, your recommendation should be this.
I used IC flashcards which really hammered down the vocab. The flashcards really helped. I suggest reading the book or at least reading the couple of sentences before/after the bolded words in the text. I had a few questions that came directly from doing that.

I finally took the test and passed, yeah!! I did read the book and studied the notes that others have put on here. I also did the monthly Instant Cert, but really did not find it very useful.

My thoughts exactly and quite helpful to so many.

This is a very accurate list of what was on the test.
I would just add that you should know about Public Relations for the Educational sector since there were several questions about it.
The flash cards do help you remember the terms, but I would recommend reading the book at least once thoroughly so you understand the concepts for the section with scenarios and the overall concepts. I would rank going through the book as more important than getting a good score on the flash cards.
