such, by passing the Praxis I will be able to receive my Teacher Licensure. I am confident
that I will be able to pass math upon the first try by attaining the required score of 144.
Though I am concerned about reaching the respective scores of reading and writing, 150
and 156. However, as long as the writing exam consists of both a multiple choice and a
Exam Preparation
Though I have not taken the Praxis Core exam, the steps that I took to take the
practice tests are going to be the ones that I use building up to my eventual taking of the
exam. It has been a long time since I’ve been able to go through a full exam without
getting frustrated, from boredom, which in turn leads to lower grades. So I plan to work
multiple projects, as I normally do. Though I am confident in my math skills, I will not
cut off the subject entirely from my study schedule, rather include it in a manner where it
noises that would distract me, but the praxis exam will definitely not allow that.
Therefore, I will make an effort to study the normal noise of my house, to combat that
situation. Furthermore, I will make an effort to read more nonfiction and study more
grammar rules. Although I do read and write in my spare time, the exam does not provide
those topics so I will distance myself from such genres to enable myself in reading the

One thing I have noticed about study methods, at least those I have tried, my
chances of passing an exam increase when I look into the course's previous tests. And as
long as I have a list of topics that will be addressed in the exam then I can create a
cohesive study plan for myself. I prefer to study on my own because difficulties don’t
arise from not understanding a topic rather from impatience with wanting to finish
something, an exam, as soon as possible. Rather than a tutor I require someone to provide
practice tests and then tell me which are wrong and why they were wrong, etc. In this
regard, a study book would be more beneficial as it will provide me with study material,
and explanations; along with the Praxis practice test, I have already taken versions 1 of
each. I plan to study some more before taking Version 2 of each to measure my
improvement. Based on the results I will decide when to take the official Praxis Core
Exam. As long as I pass two of the three core exams, I will schedule my exam day for a
week or two later to provide some additional study time, relaxed on the passed practice
