In addition to acquiring an appropriate undergraduate degree and passing a subject area ExCET exam, preservice teachers in Texas are required to pass the Professional Development Examination for the Certification of Educators in Texas (ExCET PD) to become certified teachers. This study was designed to examine the effects of a 5-week WebCT online review seminar on practice ExCET PD exam scores of preservice teachers at a university in south Texas. Using a sample of 216 primarily Hispanic students, t-test results indicated within-group differences (p less than 0.001) as well as between-group differences (p less than 0.05) existed. A description of the WebCT seminar and suggestions for further studies are provided.
