Some Frequently Asked Questions about the Praxis…

What is the Praxis?

Praxis 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 the ETS website. 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?

This test assesses whether you possess the knowledge and skills necessary to become a paraprofessional. You have a maximum of 150 minutes to complete the entire test. The test always has a total of ninety selected-response questions; however, the number of questions specific to each subject is approximate (see below).

In each content area—reading, math, and writing—about two-thirds of the questions will test your basic skills and knowledge of the content itself. The rest of the questions address applying that knowledge in the classroom.

• Reading: 30 questions (approximately 33%)

• Mathematics: 30 questions (approximately 33%)

• Writing: 30 questions (approximately 33%)

Total: 90 questions; 150 minutes (2.5 hours)

How is the praxis scored?

The 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!

There is no single passing score for the ParaPro: each state or credentialing agency determines its passing score in cooperation with ETS (Educational Testing Service). So check with your state or institution to find out what minimum passing score it requires for certification. In many states, scores are automatically sent to the state credentialing agency. Check with ETS to determine if this applies in your state. Your score report will be available on your Praxis account for ten years. Your score will be available immediately after the test.

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 ParaPro Assessment (1755) 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 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 ETS website.
