Some Frequently Asked Questions about the Praxis…

What is the Praxis?

Praxis Series tests are a part of teaching licensure in approximately forty states. Each state uses the tests and scores in different ways, so be sure to check the certification requirements in your state by going to www.ets.org/praxis/states. There, you will find information detailing the role of the Praxis tests in determining teaching certification in your state, what scores are required, and how to transfer Praxis scores from one state to another.

What is on the Praxis?

The content in this guide will prepare you for the Praxis English to Speakers of Other Languages (5361) exam. This multiple-choice test assesses whether you possess the knowledge and skills necessary to become an English teacher for speakers of other languages using both a multiple-choice section and a listening section that includes two parts. Both parts will ask you to listen to and analyze a speech recording by a non-native English speaker. The first recording will be played once, and you will be asked questions about the speaker’s grammar and vocabulary. Praxis test makers recommend that you make notes about vocabulary and grammar mistakes while listening to the recording. Meanwhile, the second section will cover the recording’s pronunciation issues; this recording will be played twice. During both recordings, a transcript will be available to you.

You have a maximum of two and a half hours to complete the entire test. Thirty minutes is allotted for the listening section, while two hours is allotted for the remaining written multiple-choice questions. The test always has a total of 130 multiple-choice questions; however, the number of questions specific to each concept is approximate (see the table below). There are always twenty listening questions, which cover the foundations of linguistics and language learning concepts.

How is the Praxis exam scored?

The multiple-choice questions are equally weighted. Keep in mind that some multiple-choice questions are experimental questions for the purpose of the Praxis test writers and will not count toward your overall score. However, since those questions are not indicated on the test, you must respond to every question. There is no penalty for guessing on Praxis tests, so be sure to eliminate answer choices and answer every question. If you still do not know the answer, guess; you may get it right!

How is the Praxis administered?

The Praxis Series tests are available at testing centers across the nation. To find a testing center near you, go to the ETS website. At this site, you can create a Praxis account, check testing dates, register for a test, or find instructions for registering via mail or phone. The Praxis ESOL exam is administered as a computerized test. The Praxis website allows you to take a practice test to acclimate yourself to the computerized format.

On the day of your test, be sure to bring your admission ticket (which is provided when you register) and photo ID. The testing facility will provide pencils and erasers and an area outside of the testing room to store your personal belongings. You are allowed no personal effects in the testing area. Cell phones and other electronic, photographic, recording, or listening devices are not permitted in the testing center at all, and bringing those items may be cause for dismissal, forfeiture of your testing fees, and cancellation of your scores. For details on what is and is not permitted at your testing center, refer to the testing center’s website.
