Not sure if this is the right place to ask but couldn't find a better subreddit for this - happy to be redirected!

After weeks of comparing options for Praxis prep I finally just committed. Went with Study.com mainly because of the diagnostic feature - wanted something that would show me exactly where my gaps are instead of studying everything from scratch.

Haven't started yet but feeling good about finally making a decision. Has anyone used Study.com for a licensing exam? Would love to hear honest first hand experiences before I dive in.

I'm at the tail end of a long research phase before making a real commitment to switching careers into teaching. Been gathering info for months and I feel like I'm finally close to actually taking the first concrete step.

Curious what advice actually stuck with people who've done something similar. Not the generic stuff - the thing someone told you that actually changed how you approached it.

I've spent the last few weeks deep in research mode for Nevada ARL and Praxis prep. I feel like I finally have a clear picture of what I need but I keep finding one more thing to look into before committing.

For those who went through alt-cert - was there a point where you just decided enough research and pulled the trigger? How did you know you were actually ready to start?

I've been going back and forth on switching careers for about a year now. I have a communications degree and I'm in a completely unrelated field. I've been seriously looking into teaching but the certification process alone is overwhelming - every source says something different.

For those of you who made a big career switch, especially into something that required extra steps like exams or licensing - how did you decide you were actually ready to commit? Was there a moment or did you just jump?
