National Evaluation Systems, Inc. has prepared for distribution by the Georgia Department of Education the set of content objectives found in this Study Guide. These objectives have been verified as important content requirements for certification. Not all of the listed objectives have had test items written for them. The selected objectives have not been identified. All objectives which appear here are certification requirements and a sampling of them will be tested. When the project to develop the Georgia Teacher Certification Tests {TCT) was begun in November 1976, an Ad Hoc Committee composed of Georgia educators was appointed to work with NES on each TCT. The function of these Ad Hoc Committees was to review all NES-generated materials with a goal of making the materials more reflective of Georgia education needs. The first step in the test development process was that of content domain specification. Educators identified all content knowledge that an applicant would need to know to function effectively in a Georgia school. This content was further defined into content objectives, which were sent to currently practicing Georgia educators for verification. These educators provided actual ratings of the 11 job-relatedness 11 of the content objectives. At that point, it was possible to identify, from the original domain specification, the extent of essentiality of specific content skills for successful performance on the job. Test items were written for the most essential objectives which spanned the content of the field. The purpose of providing objectives is to explicitly define the content required of an applicant for certification in this field. Further, the statement of these objectives should assist in preparing for the criterionreferenced content knowledge test. We encourage applicants to study these materials, which will enhance their understanding of the content field and alleviate any unnecessary concerns about the nature of the Georgia Teacher Certification Tests. Along with these materials go hopes for a rewarding career in education. If you have questions or desire further information, ~ontact:

Introduction

This study guide was specifically designed for persons preparing to take the Georgia Teacher Certification Test (TCT) in Business. The Business Test was developed by the National Evaluation Systems, Inc., and educators in the state of Georgia. The test covers Business Communication Skills, Business Math and Accounting, General Business, Business and Youth Organizations, and Information Processing. This study guide contains:
1. A listing of the content objectives for each subarea, and 2. A listing of selected reference materials. This listing of sources does not mean that all are needed to grasp a particular concept or meet a given objective. Some examinees will have better access to certain sources than to other sources. Additionally, in some cases several subareas have been referenced to the same readings because those readings cover several topics. The references given are suggested references only and are not intended to be an exhaustive or complete listing. In addition to the content objectives and readings that will follow, you should be aware that: 1. The TCT items are multiple choice with four possible answers. 2. There are no penalties for guessing when unsure of an answer. 3. While examinees are given 3~ hours of actual test time, they
. may request additional time if needed. 4. In order to pass the TCT one does not have to pass each subarea. Your total score is determined by the number of correct answers. The five subareas are listed below with the number of questions represented on the test from each of those areas. I. Business Communication Skills (21 or more questions)

II. Business Math and Accounting (21 or more questions)

III. General Business (21 or more questions)

IVv..

Business and Youth Organizations (1-10 questions) Information Processing (21 or more questions)
