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