Terms and Conditions
The following statement appears on the Texas Educator Certification Examination Program website regarding Testing Policies and has been agreed to by all registrants for Texas Educator Certification Examinations. “Security of Exam Materials: Because of the great cost expended to develop the Exam Materials, because of the obvious necessity that they are kept confidential and secure from disclosure in order to fairly and effectively perform the exam functions for which they were designed, and because any disclosure of part or all of the contents of the Exam Materials to anyone might render them unusable for future exam administrations, I promise and agree that I will not discuss with anyone or reveal in any manner the Exam Materials or any part of them (including the form, subject matter, substance, and wording of any exam question or answer).
I understand and agree that if I should violate this agreement concerning security of Exam Materials, I may be liable in damages for the costs (including redevelopment costs) incurred as a result of any breach of this agreement, and I may also be subject to other legal and equitable remedies (including injunctive relief) for any such breach, by TEA, SBEC, and/or Pearson.
In addition, this statement regarding plagiarism has also been agreed to by registered exam candidates,
Plagiarism: I understand that Pearson reserves the right to cancel my scores if, in its judgment, there is evidence that writing or speaking response includes text that is substantially similar to speech found in other PACT, TExES, or TASC/TASC–ASL responses, or quotations or paraphrasing or language or ideas in published or unpublished sources used without attribution. Such responses do not reflect the independent speaking or compositional writing skills that the exams seek to measure.
For this reason, Teacher Study Hall does not encourage, engage in, or permit discussion of Exam Materials on our website, during workshops or study sessions, or in any communications.
Thank you for allowing us to continue to help teacher candidates within the bounds of fair and ethical practice.
