*I have been informed the TESOL has since changed in 2021 and these answers may not be relevant and hitting the “x” to continue and change your answers without having to start over may not be an option anymore. I do not have access to the new one so I can not help with this. These answers were all from REDDIT and compiled here to be found easier as it was a pain for me when I took the TESOL February 2020. Let me know if there are new answers and what they are and I can post them here!* THANKS TO ALL WHO INFORMED ME!**GOOD LUCK!

Thank you to the ladies who got this list together. I have the links to where I found all of these answers below. I used these to pass both of my TESOL Certs one time with VIPKid. Some people updated the questions and answers in the comments section of the pages below, so I just consolidated all of it here. Thank you all! Remember, after you are finished with the Certification Quiz and hit Submit, if you do not pass….. DO NOT click NEXT or OK or anything other than the “X” on the top right corner when you are done. Then you can go directly back to your quiz and change the answers!
