Praxis Core Exam Analysis

Exam Requirements

Before getting into the bachelor’s degree in Education at University of Nevada, Las

Vegas, you have to pass the Reading, Writing, and Math Praxis Core Exams. In Nevada, the

passing score for the passing score for the Reading Praxis Core Exam is a score of 156. To

qualify for the Writing Praxis Core Exam in Nevada, you must score at least 162. For the Math

Praxis Core Exam, the qualifying score is 150 for educators.

Exam Preparation

Before taking the Reading, Writing, and Math Praxis Core Practice tests, I did not prepare

as much as I should have. I created a Khan Academy account and was working through some of

the Praxis Core Study tools they provided. I used online sources to see what kind of questions

they would ask on each exam.Although two of my scores were likely to pass scores, I would still

definitely recommend that I review more study tools and review the material on the exams.

Exam Results

In Reading, I scored in the 88% range, which means I am likely to pass the Reading

section when I take the official Praxis Core Exam. In Writing, I scored in the 75% range , which

means I am borderline to passing the Writing section when I take the official Praxis Core Exam.

In Math, I scored in the 87% range, which means I am likely to pass the Math section when I

take the official Praxis Core Exam.

Future Exam Preparation

Before taking the official Praxis Core Exams, I will make sure to use multiple different

resources and tools to study. I will use online sources including Ed Ready and Khan Academy.

Since I scored the worst in Writing, I will prioritize my studies in that section more than I will in

the other two sections. Also if I have a chance to work with a tutor, I will take advantage of that.
