Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Teachers Test Prep?

Teachers Test Prep (TTP) is the nationwide leader in teacher credentialing exam preparation. They provide organizations with the assessment tools needed to identify students who are at risk of failing their certification exams. Once identified, they deliver highly effective test prep programs that teach all of the subject matter knowledge and strategy needed to pass.

How does the free diagnostic exam work?

APU School of Education can provide free student accounts with TTP, which include realistic practice tests, instant diagnostic breakdowns, and full administrative reporting. After students request a free diagnostic test, TTP will create an account and send students a welcome email with a link to a video showing students how to use their Free Diagnostics features. Once students complete their free practice test, students will receive an instant diagnostic breakdown.

This diagnostics service is provided completely free of charge. Check out TTP's Free Diagnostics Overview video.

What happens if I don't pass the exam after completing the Core Plus Online Prep program?

TTP offers a money back or extended support guarantee.

If the student uses TTP’s Core Plus online prep program and attempts the exam at least twice within 6 months and does not pass, the student can send a copy of the score reports anytime within 30 days of the program expiration date to qualify for a refund.

Instead of a refund, students may choose to receive TTP’s Extended Support program at no additional charge. Extended Support includes an additional 6 months of online prep, plus a free, two-hour tutoring session for each subtest in which the student was enrolled in online prep and did not pass. The live, expert tutor will help the student attempt to diagnose and address the issues that may be preventing the student from passing.

Please send an email to schoolofed@apu.edu (Subject line: "TTP Refund" or "TTP Extended Support") with a copy of the score reports.
