Praxis Core Exam Analysis

While taking this class I have learned more as to what it takes to become an educator and

what it is that I need to do in order to attend a 4-year university or College such as taking the

Praxis Core Exam. I must pass the Praxis Core Exam before I can take any education courses at

the UNLV, NSC, or UNR in order to continue my Bachelors’ Degree in Education. For me to

pass the exam I must pass with a 150 in Math, a 162 in Reading and a 156 in Writing.

For me to prepare for the Praxis Core Exam I studied in several ways; I used the online

links that were given to me as a reference by my Professor and I took notes as well and studied

them also. Another way I was able to practice and prepare myself for this test was by taking a

practice exam, I feel I did well on it but there are still some areas that I need to work on so that I

can get a better score on the official exam.

My result for Reading was in the 82% range which means that I am likely to pass this

section when I take the official exam. My result for Writing was 78% range which means that I

am on the borderline to pass this section when I take the official exam. This area I will need to

practice on so that I can be sure to pass. My result for Math was 87% range which means that I

am likely to pass this section when I take the official exam.

To better prepare myself for the official Praxis Core exam, I will need to dedicate more

hours to studying and will probably need a tutor. You can never be over-prepared for this exam.

I plan to get a study book rather than using an online program to study, primarily because with

having a book in front of me I can highlight and write notes in it. The other ways I can prepare

are to take practice exams that will show me what I have improved on or still need to work on.

Although it takes a lot of time and dedication to prepare myself for this exam, it is something

that will be done because of that.
