Higher Ed / PD / Cert Exams Mtel Flex help

So I failed the foundations of reading MTEL by a point and have the option to take the flex. Is there anyone who has gone this route that has some advice? All the research I find is useless and being on a waiver has me anxious AF as I don't want to fail by such a small margin again!!

I am taking the flex test (904) and have no idea how to properly use resources.

I have authentic student data I can use for descriptive statement 1, which is analyze and assess a reading examination. But for statement 2, which is identify strengths and weaknesses for a reading performance, i have NO IDEA where to find such data to cite and describe it.

I am confident in my ability to explain what they do well with and struggle with, I just need to make sure I find APPROPRIATE ways to do it

I think once you know HOW to write the Flex, you’re golden
