The Praxis Study Companion: ETS’s free official study guide

ETS publishes a free Study Companion for every Praxis test. It’s the official study guide: it tells you exactly how long the test is, how many questions it has, what topics it covers and how much each one counts, and it includes sample questions with explained answers. Download the one for your test code first, before you buy anything else.

Finding the guide for a Subject Assessment

Every Subject Assessment, from Elementary Education to Speech-Language Pathology, has its own Study Companion. Search for your test on the ETS site and open its page. The guide is linked there, or you can request the free guides through ETS’s Study Companion form. Make sure the test code matches yours exactly, because some subjects have more than one version.
