This course is specifically designed to help people pass the social studies section of the Core Subjects exam. The course organizes the social studies TEKS for grades 1-5 into easy-to-follow sections. It presents each content section through video lectures, downloadable and printable handouts, and review quizzes. In the video lectures, Dr. Neumann explains the essential elements of each topic and adds context and connections among the sections to help students gain a fuller understanding of the material. At the end of course, students take two practice tests that will further prepare them for the Core Subjects exam.
