The Praxis Core Exam is an important exam to pass prior to being admitted into the
educator. It is also required before admission to the college of education in order to continue
working on a bachelor’s degree in education. Although there are alternative tests, the Praxis Core
Exam is most commonly accepted within the United States, so it is more universal. For each
exam you will have an individual passing score, even if you were to take the test combined. Each
test will have different completion times, but if you were to take the combined test you would
have a total of five hours to complete all three sections. Each test, if taken individually, will be a
$90 fee. If you were to take the combined test, you would pay a total of $150. For reading, the
passing score is 156, you will have one hour and 25 minutes to complete the test. For writing, the
passing score is 162 and you will have one hour and 40 minutes to complete the test. Finally, for
math, the passing score is 150 and you will have one hour and 25 minutes to complete the test.
The websites given in the instructions were helpful; however, you did have to pay for all
of the flash cards and study guides; so, I just watched the short videos that were free through
every website that offered a free way to study. I took thorough notes, however, did not have time
to go back and study my notes. There were not many other ways I studied. I read about the
Praxis Core Exam and learned the most information about the exam through the Praxis
In Math, I scored in the 58% range, which means I need improvement. The thing I
struggled most with was statistics and probability. In Reading, I scored a 34%, which means I
need significant improvement. Finally, in Writing, I scored a 63%, meaning I need improvement.

Overall, I need improvement in every subject. I think one way I can improve my test scores is to
I think purchasing a book or some type of study guide would be the best way for me to
improve my scores. I am not the best test taker and I know that I need thorough notes and a lot of
study time to do well on a test. I will begin by studying the notes I took using the free videos on
the websites provided in the instructions. I will take my time on the test and make sure I have
prepared better. To be quite honest, I did not expect the test to be the way it was. I thought it was
different in a way and was not fully prepared. Thanks to the Practice Praxis Exam and the basic
diagnostics that the website gives you, I feel like I will be better prepared for when I take the real
test and know what areas I need to focus on more for each test.
