Wrapping up | Achievable Praxis Core: Reading (5713)

Congratulations! You’ve made it through the course, and now it’s time for the next step.

Testing registration

The Praxis Core: Reading (5713) is administered by the Education Testing Service (ETS). You can take it separately or in tandem with the Praxis Writing (5723) and Math (5733) tests by registering for the Praxis Core Combined Test (5752).

To register, you will need to create an ETS Praxis account if you have not already done so. Go to the Praxis registration page to register and sign up for your test date.

Additional information

The test is administered on college campuses and at Prometric testing sites across the country. You may also be able to take it from home with remote supervision.

Make sure that the name you use to sign up for the test matches your primary form of identification exactly. Otherwise, you may not be permitted to sit for the exam.
Check to see if your state requires additional tests here.
Each of the three sections–Reading, Writing, and Math–costs $90 to take. If you register to take all three at once, it will cost $150.

Not all states require the same passing score, but all require you to get at least 58% in Reading, 56% in Writing, and 52% in Math. However, you should verify the required score for your state.

You can retake the test as many times as you need to, but you must wait at least 28 days between test dates. You will also have to pay the fee again, but there is no additional retake fee.

Testing accommodations are available for test-takers who qualify under the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA). To see if you qualify, check here.

Final thoughts

Finally, remember that you have worked hard to prepare for the test. Don’t let nerves get in your way! Get enough sleep the night before the test, eat a good breakfast, and wear comfortable clothing. Good luck! You got this!!
