It is usually required for those who have not completed the introductory college-level American government course. At Antelope Valley College, the course is American Political Institutions, Political Science 101. There are similar courses offered at both two and four year colleges and universities in California and around the country. Usually, the teacher candidate who has taken a comparable course in another state or county will still be obligated to take the examination. It is best to check with the teaching credential program at ones institution to determine what is required. The examination covers the history, concepts, principles and provisions of both the American and California Constitutions. This includes the Articles of the United States Constitution---Legislative Branch, Executive Branch, Judicial Branch, Interstate Relations, Supremacy Clause, federalism, civil liberties and civil rights provisions and policy incorporated within the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment. Other Constitutional Amendments are also examined. The examination focuses on the comprehensive aspects of American constitutionalism and institutions. To prepare, students are encouraged to acquire any college-level American government textbook and concentrate on the chapters on the Constitution, federalism, civil liberties and civil right, all common among books of this kind. Moreover, student might consider purchasing Corwin and Peltason's, Understanding the Constitution, published in its 17th edition in February 2007 with Sue Davis listed as the additional author. This is an Article-by-Article and Amendment-by-Amendment delineation of the American Constitution, its provisions and significance in an easy-to-follow format. Otherwise, any good college-level American government textbook will mostly likely be sufficient. The most relevant chapters are on the United States Constitution, federalism, civil liberties and civil rights. The study guide will assist students in successfully completing the examination. It has been customary to work with students as they prepare for the examination as needed; however, there is no preparatory seminar or meeting. Students prepare for the examination on their own or with others. The examination itself is 100 multiple choice questions with a minimum of 70 correct answers to pass. Students have an opportunity to review the results and if not successful, work with the instructor on preparing to retake the examination at a later date. The success rate has been very high although not all students pass on their first try. If a student is not successful, he or she must register again for the examination. Once a student has successfully completed the examination, notice is provided for the student to submit to the appropriate credentialing authorities. Please do not register until you believe you have a reasonable change of success. Students are required to bring a Scantron sheet available at the College bookstore as well as a number 2 pencil. Examinations will be scored immediately. Also, please bring photo identification to the examination site. A Certificate of Completion will be provided after passing the exam. If there are any questions or concerns, please e-mail Dr. Ranish at dranish@avc.edu.
