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 Special Education - FAQ Sample Questions

A student in your classroom has a tonic-clonic seizure.  You should do all of the following EXCEPT





Correct Answer:
stick something into the child's mouth


when managing a tonic-clonic (formerly known as grand mal) seizure in the classroom, there are several important steps to take to ensure the safety and well-being of the student. first, it is crucial to monitor the student's breathing to ensure that the airway remains open and that the student is getting enough oxygen. breathing can become irregular during and immediately after a seizure, so keeping an eye on this is vital.

however, one common misconception is the need to place something in the mouth of a person experiencing a seizure to prevent them from biting their tongue. this action should absolutely be avoided. inserting any object into the mouth of someone having a seizure can cause more harm than good. there is a significant risk that the individual could bite down hard on the object, potentially leading to broken teeth or, even worse, the object could break and parts of it could be aspirated or swallowed, leading to choking or internal blockage.

additionally, during a seizure, the muscles of a person are contracted and relaxed rapidly, which can cause involuntary actions. by trying to insert something in the mouth, you might also inadvertently injure the person’s mouth or your own fingers. instead of trying to put something in their mouth, focus on other safety measures like cushioning their head to prevent injury, moving nearby objects that could harm them, and turning them gently onto their side to help keep the airway clear.

recording the length of the seizure is also important. information about how long the seizure lasts can help medical professionals understand the severity and nature of the seizures. this can be crucial for diagnosing the specific type of epilepsy or other seizure disorder, and for determining the most effective treatment.

observing and noting any precipitating events that may have triggered the seizure can be useful as well. certain factors like flashing lights, lack of sleep, or stress can provoke seizures in susceptible individuals. identifying these triggers can help in managing the condition more effectively by avoiding or mitigating these factors in the future.

in summary, while it is essential to take several proactive steps to manage a tonic-clonic seizure safely, inserting anything into the person's mouth is not only unnecessary but also potentially dangerous. the focus should remain on ensuring clear breathing, protecting the head from injury, and gathering information about the seizure to aid in future management and treatment.

Which of the following is true? 

A. The physical environment of the classroom has an impact on a child's ability to communicate 
B. The physical environment of the classroom has no impact on a child's ability to communicate  
C. The physical environment of the classroom has an impact on the quality of a child's language experiences





Correct Answer:
a and c only
the correct answer to the question is "a and c only." here is an expanded explanation for why this is the case:

option a: "the physical environment of the classroom has an impact on a child's ability to communicate" - this statement is true. the physical layout, noise levels, lighting, and even the colors and decorations in a classroom can significantly affect a child's communication abilities. for example, a noisy or overly crowded classroom can make it difficult for children to hear and be heard, which hampers effective communication. conversely, a well-organized, quiet, and inviting classroom environment can encourage children to participate in discussions and express their thoughts more freely.

option b: "the physical environment of the classroom has no impact on a child's ability to communicate" - this statement is false. as explained with option a, various aspects of the physical environment do indeed have an impact on communication. ample research in educational psychology supports the idea that environmental factors can either facilitate or hinder verbal interaction and communication effectiveness among students.

option c: "the physical environment of the classroom has an impact on the quality of a child's language experiences" - this statement is also true. the environment in which a child learns can affect not just their ability to communicate but also the quality of their language development. for instance, a classroom that includes areas for reading, storytelling, and group discussions can enrich a child's language experiences. environmental cues and stimuli can also provide contexts that help in language acquisition and in practicing new vocabulary or grammatical structures within meaningful contexts.

therefore, the correct answer is "a and c only," as both statements a and c correctly assert that the physical environment of the classroom influences both a child’s ability to communicate and the quality of their language experiences.
