Test Day Tips


1) Have driver’s license/passport ready.

2) Fill out confidentiality form.

3) They will check your info on the computer & then lock up everything in the little lockers. No food, no drinks, no pocketbooks, no cell phones, no beepers, no sex, (just seeing if you were paying attention) ... in the testing room.

4) They will give you pencils & scrap paper. They will collect them at the end of testing. Be sure to put down the problem number when you are using the scrap paper so that you can refer back to it.

5) You’ll be on camera – smile! Think of it as a “caring” gesture. They’ll be right there to help you if you should pass out!

6) If you need to leave the room – just remember that the clock will keep running so you should too. You must sign out & sign back in.


7) Remember to breathe, relax, & say your mantra.

8) Remember, there will be LOTS of directions on the computer about moving the mouse, going back & forth in the document, etc. Take your time & read the directions. This is not part of the timed test. There will also be questions about your education, family, where you want your results to be sent . . .

9) When you begin the timed test – try to relax. If you see a question that you have never ever seen before in your life – remain calm. Silently curse, take a guess & move on! Don’t spend a lot of time agonizing over it. You do NOT need a perfect score.

10) Be aware of the time. Be sure you answer EVERY question. You can go back & check & change your answers but you do not want to leave any unanswered. You probably will not need the entire time but use it anyway to check, check, check.

11) After the timed test you will be asked to answer some questions about the testing center & staff. Just basic info for their records… (When your score appears on the screen, remember to wait to scream outside of the testing area!)

 

About the Book

After taking the Praxis 3 times for “research”, I wrote this workbook to truly reflect what is on the math test. I bought quite a few books before I took the test and found that they left out important topics and included topics that you’ll never see on the Praxis. Praxis Made Easy is being used as the text for workshops throughout the country. It is currently found in colleges in 24 of the 30 states that require the Praxis. You will find that it is written in a very “user-friendly” manner with lots of time-saving shortcuts. I have 33 years (gasp) of high school mathematics teaching experience and 5 years of college teaching experience so you can be assured that you are getting a book that you can understand! I guarantee this workbook will help you. Buy it today and get started!
