Praxis Core Exam Analysis

The document discusses a student's preparation for and results on a practice exam for the Praxis Core Exam, which is required to earn a bachelor's degree in education. It outlines the minimum scores needed on the actual Praxis Core Exam in reading, writing, and math. The student studied using Khan Academy but did not feel fully prepared. Their practice scores showed a need for improvement in reading, their writing score was borderline, and their math score suggested they would likely pass that section. To further prepare, the student plans to use Khan Academy more, follow a study schedule, use additional study guides, and potentially buy a study book.

Praxis Core Exam Analysis

Exam Requirements

Passing the Praxis Core Exam is something that all students who are seeking a degree in

Education must achieve in order to continue his or her education. Those looking to advance to a

4-year college like UNLV, NSC, or UNR and receive his or her Bachelor’s degree in Education

must pass the Praxis Core Exam.

In Nevada, the passing scores for the Praxis Core Exam are as follows; for Math, a score

of at least 150, for Reading, a score of at least 156, and for Writing, a score of at least 162. I will

also need to take another exam because I am seeking my degree in Elementary Education, and

that requires an exam for Specific Licensure Areas (Elementary Education). In order to pass that

exam, I must receive a score of 157 in Math, a score of 157 in Reading and Language Arts, a

score of 159 in Science, and a score of 155 in Social Studies.

Exam Preparation

Prior to taking the Praxis Core Exam, I read about the exam and studied the requirements

that I would need to pass. I also looked into the C-Best Exam, which is another option for those

to take who are continue his or her education in Education. I wanted to be prepared for the Praxis

Core Exam, so I looked at how long I would have to take each test, I weighed the options of

taking all the exams at one or separately, and I checked into getting the fees waived for the

Praxis Core Exam.


Then, I prepared for the exam by accessing the Khan Academy website and utilizing the

Praxis Preparation. I probably didn’t practice as much as I needed or should have, but I did

manage to get as much done as I could and still pass. When it is time to take the actual Praxis

Core Exam, I will for sure need to study and practice more than I did for the practice exam.

Exam Results

In Reading, I scored 43% and of course that means I need significant improvement. This

is the area where I studied least and obviously it shows. I also had very little quiet time and was

trying to study with distractions, which is never suggested. Though I scored bad, I was able to

see my flaws and the areas that I needed to work on. I was able to see that I need a quiet place to

read.

Then, in Writing, I scored 73%. This score puts me at the borderline of being able to pass

the Praxis Core Exam. This means that I have a lot more practicing to do and that I should study

more to get into a more secure grading range.

Finally, in Math, I scored 85% and this means I will be likely to pass to math section of

the Praxis Core Exam. This is exciting news to me because all though I am not horrible at math, I

test horrible with math. The test seemed easy, and I was able to review my mistakes.

Future Exam Preparation

To further prepare myself to pass the exam I will need to utilize the Khan Academy

website as much as I can until I am comfortable with each subject, especially reading. I set a

schedule of training with reminders to help me manage my time better. I am also utilizing the

study guides on www.teacherstestprep.com . I was able to see the areas that I need to strengthen

and those are the areas I will focus on. I will also give myself more study time and I am
considering buying a study book, especially since I like reading paper print over onscreen print

when it comes to studying.
