[golden chicken]

I'll be taking the PTR test sunday september 18th, and my coach says it's changed somewhat since the last time he took it. does anyone know how it's changed? does anyone have any tips?

Mahboob, your input would be appreciated. thanks

The portions on stroke progressions and teaching may have changed. All this is usually covered in a workshop (such as ACE) that you can attend prior to the actual testing.

Are you taking all 5 parts at once? Portions such as the teaching skills and feeding skills may benefit from some time taken to actually do them with students or friends.

Good luck!

i believe i am taking all of it at once, with the review workshop prior to the test. i have been coaching 5-8 y/o's 3 hours a week for about a month, so my feeding is improving.

That's great you've been working with young players. Might also want to try with some intermediate-advanced to practice double feeds and quick drills...

I did it in 1994 via a TU-I course with Dennis van der Meer. The course lasted for 6 days and on the 7th they gave us the test! Basically they train you for the test and then give you the test. Now their certification workshops are as brief as 3 days (they train you for 2 days and on the third they give you the test). For more log on: www.ptrtennis.org or write to julie@ptrtennis.org. There are basically five tests:

1. Skill test

2. Teaching test

3. Written test

4. Drill test

5. Error detection and correction test.

Attend a "PTR Certification Course" and you will be ok for the test!
