What are the NES exams?

You have almost completed your teacher education journey. The final hurdle is the NES examination to become certified. What are the NES exams?

What is the National Evaluation Series (NES)?

The National Evaluation Series (NES) teacher certification tests are delivered through Pearson’s network of computer-based test (CBT) centers. Aligned to national subject and pedagogy standards, these standards-based tests are taken by individuals pursuing certification as entry-level teachers. NES test scores are currently acceptable for certification in Arizona, California, Illinois, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin. NES provides for interstate portability of test results and simplifies candidate comparisons between states.

NES offers exams ranging from Essential Academic Skills (Reading, Writing, Mathematics, and Social Sciences) to Professional Knowledge at both the elementary and secondary levels, Elementary and Early Childhood, Middle School and Secondary level specialty areas, and K-12 areas of specialization. Exams required for certification vary from state to state. The NES website can be helpful in determining which tests best meet your needs for certification.

The format for most of the NES exams is multiple-choice with the results provided at the testing site upon the completion of the test. Some tests may include constructed response items. The results of these are available within four weeks of the exams. Scores are scaled from 100 to 300 with 220 being the national benchmark, although the state benchmarks may differ. The length of each exam fluctuates according to the individual test. These time allowances are available at the NES website.


NES Physics - FAQ Sample Questions

The image of a small electric bulb affixed on the wall of a room is to be seen on the opposite wall 3 meters away by means of a convex lens. What is the maximum focal length of the lens for this purpose?





Correct Answer:
0.75 m


the question involves projecting the image of a small electric bulb onto the opposite wall of a room using a convex lens. the distance between the bulb (object) and the image on the wall (screen) is given as 3 meters. the task is to determine the maximum focal length of the lens that can be used for this purpose.

to understand the solution, it's essential to recall a key principle of optics involving convex (converging) lenses: the relationship between the object distance (u), the image distance (v), and the focal length (f) of the lens. according to the lens formula, 1/f = 1/u + 1/v. for a real and focused image to form on the screen, certain conditions related to these distances must be met.

specifically, when using a convex lens to project a real image, the object and the image must lie outside the focal points on either side of the lens. a standard rule of thumb in optics states that the minimum total distance (u + v) for projecting a real image with a convex lens is four times the focal length of the lens (4f). this arises because, ideally, to obtain a sharp image with a simple setup, both the object and the image should be at least at a distance of 2f from the lens (twice the focal length on either side).

in this scenario, the total distance between the bulb and its image on the wall is fixed at 3 meters. to find the maximum allowable focal length of the lens that would still allow the formation of a real image on the wall, we set the total distance (u + v) to the minimum required distance of 4f. thus, solving for the maximum focal length, f_max, we have: 4f_max = 3 meters f_max = 3 meters / 4 f_max = 0.75 meters

therefore, the maximum focal length of the lens that allows the image of the bulb to be projected onto the opposite wall 3 meters away is 0.75 meters. using a lens with a focal length greater than 0.75 meters would not satisfy the condition for projecting a real image across the given distance, as the total distance would then be insufficient to accommodate the necessary object and image distances relative to the lens.
