How to Pass the ILTS Mathematics (208) test, using our easy step-by-step ILTS Mathematics study guide, without weeks and months of endless studying...

If you are interested in a different ILTS test, we've developed study guides for most of the ILTS Exam series.

Dear Future Illinois Teacher,

One gorgeous day last spring, a young lady got the dreaded news: the official score from her ILTS Mathematics exam. It was nowhere near as high as she had hoped it would be. Actually, it was far worse than that; despite her years of study and her great college grades, she had failed the ILTS Mathematics test.

This was a crushing blow. All her hopes and dreams of making a difference in children's lives as a teacher were swirling down the drain. All because of a low score on the ILTS Mathematics test...

Thinking about her friends made it even worse. They had all gotten their scores, and every one of them had passed. She despised standardized tests, so she had put off taking it as long as possible. Now she hated these tests even worse.

"Why should I even have to take the ILTS Mathematics test to get a teaching license?" she exclaimed, as she threw her failure notice in the trash can.

She had no idea how she was going to tell her friends what happened. Then she began to despair at just how terrible her situation was, as it began to sink in that she would never have a teaching career if she couldn't pass the ILTS Mathematics test.

How to Solve the Problem

For far too many people, the situation above isn't a story about someone else. It's the reality that they're living through right now. They did well in college, thought they had it made, thought they were on the fast track to a lifelong career in teaching... until their low ILTS Mathematics test score brought all their hopes and dreams to a screeching halt.

You see, there's a widespread myth that the ILTS Mathematics test is all about measuring academic abilities. It's not; that's why so many people do poorly on the ILTS Mathematics test even though they made excellent grades in college.

If the exam was only about how much a person had learned in college, then everyone who did well in college would easily pass the test. Instead of being all about knowledge and skills, the ILTS Mathematics test is actually just as much about measuring how good someone is at passing standardized tests. This certainly doesn't seem fair, but fair or not, it's how things are. Some people who would have made great teachers may never get the chance because they flunked the ILTS Mathematics test.

But it doesn't have to happen to you if you rely on our ILTS Mathematics Secrets Study Guide. That's the reason we created ILTS Mathematics Secrets: so that no qualified teacher has their dreams crushed due to a low ILTS Mathematics test score.

Our Guide to Passing the ILTS Mathematics Test Is Like No Other

If you want to master the art of test taking, so that you can stop agonizing about getting an ILTS Mathematics test score that's just barely good enough to pass, and be confident of getting the high score you're capable of, then this may well be the most important letter you will ever read.

Our comprehensive study guide for the ILTS Mathematics (208) test is written by our test experts, who painstakingly researched the topics and the concepts that you need to know to do your best on the ILTS Mathematics test. Our original research into the Illinois Licensure Testing System (ILTS) Mathematics test, offered by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and Pearson Education, Inc., reveals the specific content areas and the essential skills that are critical for you to know on the ILTS Mathematics test. We've taken the information and developed a study guide that is guaranteed to help you be successful on the ILTS Mathematics test.

The Exclusive Test Taking Techniques

• Learn why, when, and how to guess to your advantage. Many test takers use exactly the wrong strategy, but you can avoid the pitfalls with the help of our standardized test experts.
• Why answers that sound correct are often the very ones that are wrong and how to tell the difference between the right answer and the many clever-sounding traps set for you by the test writers.
• Our benchmark method for deciding which of the answer choices you should pick.
• What to do about the tough questions that you have no clue how to answer. Don't just give up, use the advice we offer to make sure you give yourself the best chance of getting the right answer.
