We've got you covered. We've got them all. The real test is a computer-delivered test. These types of tests are interactive is the sense that instead of selecting a correct answer, you will have to select more than one option to produce the correct answer, or you may have to use technology, for example, that has you drag-and-drop answer choices into "targets" onscreen to produce the correct answer. But no worries. We've got you covered. We've got them all in our full-length practice tests.
Get comfortable with the test before taking the real thing.
Caution: other test preps out there don't carry these types of questions and they won't tell you. Prep smart. Invest wisely.
How Do I Prepare for the PRAXIS?
You should not attempt the PRAXIS test until you're scoring 90% or higher in at least 3 Certify Teacher practice exams within 2 weeks of the official test date. Turn the Study Plan Tracker feature in your Certify Teacher test prep on and follow the recommendations of this Study Plan to complete assignments that target content you were found deficient so you can master them.
In addition, read the explanatory commentaries for all answer choices, including the rationales that explain the incorrect answers because these commentaries may explain a skill or clarify knowledge that will answer a question in the real exam. Take advantage of all the resources available to you in the Certify Teacher test prep so you can take the real Praxis exam with confidence and be successful in it.
Where Do I Take the PRAXIS?
The Praxis Core Tests and the Praxis Subject tests have deadlines throughout the year, while other Praxis exams are scheduled through more limiting windows.
You should search for testing centers for your desired exam, test date, and cost on the Praxis testing service website, which includes online or "home testing" options.
In order to qualify for the home test option, you must live in the U.S. or a U.S. territory and meet specific requirements regarding equipment and environment.
How is the PRAXIS Scored?
Scoring Praxis exams involve scoring both selected-response and constructed-response questions, each with its own scoring scale. Selected-response questions are scored by computer on a scale from 100 to 200. Each selected-response question answered correctly is worth one raw point.
Constructed-response questions are scored by education professionals in the appropriate content area on a scale of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest score and 1 being the lowest.
After taking the exam, your score reports are available in your ETS account approximately 21 days after the exam date.

Is the PRAXIS test hard?
Educational background, familiarity with the material, test- taking skills, and overall preparation are some of the many factors to consider in predicting how hard a given Praxis test is for any specific person. Add to that the fact that there are over 90 different Praxis tests.
In addition, read the explanatory commentaries Although some test-takers may breeze through one or more of these exams, many will find at least some of them challenging. The most recent data available for the Praxis Elementary Education test, a content knowledge exam required in 18 states, indicates that only 46% of test takers will pass all four subjects the first time they take the exam.
What if I don't pass my PRAXIS test?
As far as ETS is concerned, if you are unable to pass a Praxis test on your first attempt, you may retake the exam after 21 days (ETS has no limit on how many times the Praxis can be taken). However, before applying for a retake be sure you are in compliance with the rules and regulations of your education agency.
Before retaking a Praxis exam, identify what went wrong in the original exam. Did you run out of time to revise? Did stress get the best of you in the exam room? Examine your score report and identify the content categories you scored low.
Certify Teacher test prep approximates the environment of the real PRAXIS test with similar interface, navigation, timing and prompt settings, question formats, question types and content.
