Wrapping up
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 $97 per attempt. 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.
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.
This course has set the passage rate at % for the final exams, which would be a passage rate exceeding nearly every states individual requirement.
Retake policy
If you don’t achieve your target score, you may retake the exam after 28 days. 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, percentage, memory). 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.
A helpful reference can be found here: Praxis Math Exam Formulas.
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
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 protein-rich breakfast (eggs, Greek yogurt, oatmeal with nuts). Avoid sugary foods that may cause an energy crash. Arrive 30 minutes early.
During the exam:
- Read each question carefully before checking the answers.
- 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.
We wish you success on the Praxis Math 5733 and in your teaching career. Welcome to the profession!
