You’ve now covered the core content and skills tested on the Praxis Math 5733, including number and quantity, data interpretation and statistics, algebra, and geometry. This section helps you plan the logistics of test day - registration, costs, policies, and practical preparation.

Testing registration

When you’re ready to take the Praxis Math 5733, register through the official ETS Praxis website. You’ll create an ETS account (if you don’t already have one), then choose your test, date, and testing location.

Register at least 4-6 weeks in advance when possible. Popular dates and locations can fill up, especially during peak testing seasons.

Registration information

To register, you will need:

• A valid photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or state ID)
• A payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal)
• Your Social Security number (required for score reporting)
• Information about score recipients (your state education agency and/or teacher preparation program)

Plan to arrive at your test center at least 30 minutes early. Bring the same photo ID you used during registration - no substitutions are allowed.

Exam cost

The Praxis Math 5733 costs approximately $156 per attempt (verify current pricing on the ETS Praxis website before registering, as fees are subject to change). This includes score reporting to your state education agency and one teacher preparation program. Additional score reports can be sent for $50 each.

Payment is due at registration and is non-refundable, even if you reschedule or cancel.

Scores are typically available 10-16 business days after your test date and can be viewed by logging into your ETS account. (Verify the current score release window on the ETS Praxis website before test day, as this timeline has shifted in the past.)

Passing score

The Praxis Math 5733 is scored on a scale of 100-200. Most states require a score between 142-150 for certification, though some require higher. Always confirm the required score with your state’s education agency or your teacher preparation program.

Our practice final exams target a passing threshold of approximately 71%, which exceeds most states’ individual requirements. Always confirm your state’s specific requirement before test day.

Retake policy

If you don’t achieve your target score, you may retake the exam after 28 days (verify the current waiting period on the ETS Praxis website before registering, as this policy has changed historically). There is no lifetime limit, but you must pay the full registration fee each time.

Calculator and formulas

An on-screen four-function calculator is provided (add, subtract, multiply, divide, square root, and memory functions). Verify the full feature set in the current ETS Praxis 5733 test-taker guide, as specifications may be updated. No formula sheet is given, so you’ll need to know key formulas such as area and volume, the Pythagorean theorem, and common algebraic relationships.

Here are the most-tested formulas to keep in mind:

• Area: Rectangle $A=lw$; Triangle $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$; Circle $A=\pi r^2$
• Circumference: $C=2\pi r$
• Volume: Rectangular prism $V=lwh$
• Pythagorean theorem: $a^2+b^2=c^2$
• Slope: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
• Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$
• Percent change: $\frac{\text{new}-\text{original}}{\text{original}}\times 100$

Practice using the on-screen calculator format before test day - it can feel different from a physical calculator.

Accommodations

ETS provides accommodations for candidates with documented disabilities, such as extended time or screen magnification. Requests must be submitted at least 6 weeks in advance with proper documentation. Details and forms are available on the ETS Praxis accommodations page.

Testing options

The Praxis Math 5733 is offered year-round at Prometric testing centers across the U.S. Most locations have multiple daily appointment slots, Monday through Saturday. At-home testing is currently not available.

Use the ETS test center locator to find a site near you.

Tips for test day

Know the exam format: The Praxis Math 5733 includes 56 questions in 90 minutes (roughly 1.5-2 minutes per question). Question types include single-select multiple choice, select-all-that-apply, and numeric entry.

Pacing checkpoints: Use these milestones to stay on track during the exam:

• By question 19 → ~30 minutes elapsed
• By question 37 → ~60 minutes elapsed
• By question 56 → ~90 minutes elapsed (time’s up)

If you’re behind at a checkpoint, pick up the pace by spending less time on questions you find straightforward. If you’re ahead, use the extra time to review flagged questions.

Day before: Review key formulas one last time, but avoid cramming. Organize your ID, confirmation email, and directions to the center. Get at least 8 hours of sleep.

Morning of the test: Eat a solid breakfast and avoid anything that might cause an energy crash. Arrive 30 minutes early.

During the exam:

• Read each question carefully before reviewing the answer choices.
• Eliminate clearly wrong choices first.
• Don’t spend more than 2 minutes on a single problem - mark it and return later.
• Use the calculator strategically, but remember many problems are designed to be solved without it.

Final encouragement

This course is designed to help you build the math knowledge and problem-solving habits you’ll use both on the Praxis Math 5733 and in the classroom. As you head into test day, focus on the basics that consistently earn points: careful reading, efficient strategies, and strong command of the core formulas.

On test day, walk in confident. Trust your preparation and work the problems methodically. You’ve prepared - now it’s time to perform.

We wish you success on the Praxis Math 5733 and in your teaching career. Welcome to the profession!
