each individual exam is $90. The CBEST test can be taken instead of the Praxis Exam to
receive licensure.
Exam Preparation:
The first time I took the Praxis Exam I studied for a few weeks prior. I used Khan
Academy, and I used the practice questions from ETS. Unfortunately, I only passed the
reading section. I ran out of time for the Math (which I failed by 4 points) and the
Writing. I read about the exam and understood there was limited time, but I failed to time
myself while I was preparing for the exam. For these practice exams, I focused more on
timing myself this time around. I showed some improvement in the writing section, but
Exam Results
The first time I took the exam I scored 184 on the Reading section, 146 in Math,
and 148 in Writing. On the Reading section I scored an average performance range of 7-
12 in key ideas and details, a 7-11 in craft, structure, and language skills, and 9-14 on
integration of knowledge and ideas. In the Math section I scored a range of 7-11 number
and quantity, 6-10 on Algebra and Functions, 3-6 on geometry, and 5-8 on statistics and
probability. As for the Writing section, I scored a range of 17-24 on the multiple-choice
The results of my practice test for mathematics was a %62, and for the writing
section I scored a %70. I showed some improvement in my writing score, but I clearly

production. In the math section, I scored an average range of %64 in number and
quantity, %47 in algebra and functions, %54 in geometry, and %72 in statistics and
probability. It is important to understand the scores in order to know what areas need the
most improvement.
To start, the next time I take the Praxis Exam I will make sure to time myself
when I study or take practice exams. I understand that CSN offers tutoring services for
Math and Writing, so I will look into partaking in those programs. The last time I took
the exam I rented the Barron’s Praxis Preparation text book, but next time I might just
purchase the online preparation program offered at the time of the exam purchase. The
practice exams were very helpful since they provide feedback and allows us to see the
graded test. I am a more confident in succeeding the next time because of all the
