What are the WEST exams?

You are ready to become a teacher in the state of Washington and are made aware that WESTs are required.

What exactly are WESTs all about?

Prospective educators must pass the basic skills test (WEST-B) and an endorsement test (WEST-E) in order to hold a valid teaching certificate in the Washington public school system. The Washington State Educator Skills Tests (WEST) are designed by the Washington Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB) to ensure that educators meet quality standards. The WEST-B was created to ensure that teaching candidates possess basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. The WEST-E assessments were created to certify that teaching candidates possess a required level of content knowledge in a specific discipline of study.

WEST-B (Basic)

The WEST-B (Basic) is often required prior to a candidate is officially admitted into a teacher preparatory program. The WEST-B consists of three computer-based exams measuring basic skills in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. The Reading portion consists of 60 multiple-choice items assessing the ability to comprehend written text. Two hours is allotted for this portion. The Mathematics section also included 60 multiple-choice items to be completed in a two-hour span. It assesses a candidate’s understanding and application of math concepts and principles. The Writing test includes 50 multiple-choice questions and 2 constructed response items. Three hours are allowed for this measure of the application of standard writing conventions in written language production. These three exams can be taken individually or in one testing session lasting 5 hours. Results are scaled scores ranging from 100 – 300 with 240 being the minimum passing score. Preliminary scores are provided at the test site immediately after completing the exam except for the Writing test. Official score reports will be emailed within 2-6 weeks of testing.

WEST-E (Endorsement)

WEST-E (Endorsement) exams certify competence in a given field. Passing the WEST-E is required prior to student teaching indicating that a candidate demonstrates the required level of content knowledge for endorsement by the state of Washington. Most WEST-E exams contain 110 multiple-choice questions with 2 hours and 15 minutes allowed for completion. Results are scaled scores ranging from 100 – 300 with 240 being the minimum passing score. Preliminary scores are provided at the test site immediately after completing the exam except for the Computer Science and Designated World Language: Latin exams. Official score reports will be emailed within 2-6 weeks of testing.

More detailed information on the content of each endorsement exam can be found on the WEST website at www.west.nesinc.com.


WEST-E Library Media - FAQ Sample Questions

Which of the following is not a processing specification a jobber might keep on file for your library?








Correct Answer:
collection map

a jobber, often utilized by libraries for acquiring and processing materials, typically keeps a detailed record of processing specifications unique to each library. this includes a variety of elements aimed at ensuring the materials are ready for immediate use upon delivery.

for instance, jobbers maintain records on cataloging choices, which dictate how the library wishes its materials to be cataloged to fit into their system seamlessly. they also record preferences for the placement of book pockets, detection tags, barcodes, and spine labels—essential components for the circulation and security of library materials. additionally, jobbers note libraries' preferences for covers, especially for paperback books, to ensure durability and user satisfaction.

however, what a jobber does not typically keep is a "collection map." a collection map is an internal document used by libraries to manage and plan the scope and structure of their collections. it outlines the depth (the level of coverage or specialization in particular subjects) and breadth (the range of subjects covered) of the collection. the purpose of a collection map is strategic rather than operational, guiding collection development decisions made by the library itself rather than external suppliers or service providers like jobbers.

therefore, while jobbers are crucial in adhering to a library's specific material processing requirements to ensure that items are ready for shelving upon arrival, they do not engage with the strategic planning aspect of a library's collection, such as maintaining or consulting a collection map. this strategic element remains within the purview of the library's administration and collection development teams.

A student brings an atlas to you and asks what the colors on the map mean. You should direct him to the map's:








Correct Answer:
key



when a student brings an atlas and inquires about the meaning of the colors on the map, the most appropriate section to refer them to is the map's key, also commonly referred to as the legend. the key is an essential element of a map as it explains what the symbols, colors, and lines represent.

maps are complex tools that contain a lot of condensed information to provide a comprehensive view of an area. to effectively communicate this information, maps use a variety of symbols and colors, each chosen to represent different features or data. for example, different colors might be used to denote varying types of terrain, such as forests, deserts, and urban areas, or different climate zones. symbols might indicate locations of interest like cities, historical sites, or airports. lines could represent boundaries, roads, or rivers.

the key on a map decodes these symbols and colors. without the key, a map user might misinterpret the information presented, leading to confusion or errors in navigation or understanding of geographical data. for instance, without consulting the key, one might not recognize that a blue color on a map usually signifies water bodies, or that a red line might represent a highway.

apart from the key, other tools on a map include the scale, which helps the user understand the distance between points or the size of the area depicted in relation to real-world distances. the legend or directional indicator (often a compass rose) shows the orientation of the map, typically indicating north and possibly other cardinal directions.

thus, directing the student to the key of the map not only answers their immediate question about the meaning of the colors but also encourages them to use the key as a guide for understanding other symbols and notations on the map. this practice enhances their overall ability to interpret and utilize maps effectively for studies or travel.
