WEST-E Special Education 070 Study Guide 2026–2027 | 200 Practice Questions

Prepare for the WEST–E Special Education (070) test, the content exam Washington uses for the Special Education endorsement. This study guide follows the official test framework, all four equally weighted subareas and twelve objectives, and teaches each topic the way the test asks about it: through students, IEP-team decisions, and data.

This 200-page digital guide pairs a complete content review with two 100-question practice tests of scenario-based, exam-level questions, so you practice the eligibility, IEP, behavior-support, instructional, and legal judgment the WEST–E rewards.
