This preview of the PLT Early Childhood test (0521) is designed to give you an overall sense of the test's format and to help you determine the content areas you need to focus on in your studies. This preview test will not help you with your pacing on the test-this preview is approximately half the length of the actual PLT and may not represent the entire scope of the test in either content or difficulty.
After you complete the preview test, score your answers and use the explanations to self-diagnose content areas to study in Part III of this guide. You may also want to complete the preview tests in Chapters 2, 3, and 4 to aid you in determining which content areas to study.
