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 Praxis Mathematics test gauges college-level content knowledge in mathematics, as well as the necessary skills for mathematics. Candidates are expected to demonstrate thorough and extensive conceptual knowledge of topics including number and quantity, algebraic concepts, functions, geometry, discrete mathematics, and calculus. You will also be expected to demonstrate mastery of key skills related to probability and statistics. The content is divided into two content categories and then further subdivided into seven topic areas.

You will have two hours and thirty minutes to answer sixty questions, including selected-response questions with either one or more answers, numeric entry questions, drag-and-drop questions, and text completion questions.

How is the Praxis exam scored?

There are several types of questions: multiple choice, drag-and-drop, and single choice questions. Each question is worth one raw point. The total number of questions you answer correctly is added up to obtain your raw score, which is then converted to a scale of 100–300. The passing score is determined by each state and can be found on here.

There will be some questions on the test that are not scored; however, you will not know which ones these are. ETS uses these to test out new questions for future exams. There is no guess penalty on the Praxis, so you should always guess if you do not know the answer to a question.

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 Math 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.
