Math Praxis tests

There are two kinds of math Praxis. Core Mathematics (5733) checks the math skills of people entering teacher preparation programs. The content tests check the math you’ll teach: Mathematics (5165) for high school, Middle School Mathematics (5164), Algebra I (5162) and Geometry (5163). The content tests give you an on-screen graphing calculator.
