How should you study for the Praxis?

ETS’s own tips are short. These come from its strategies page and from the Core Reading Study Companion:

  • Choose a test date that gives you enough time to review everything, so you aren’t cramming at the end.
  • Write a study plan. ETS publishes a study plan worksheet for this.
  • Take regular breaks. ETS says long sessions without them can be counterproductive.
  • Use practice tests and sample questions to find what you’re strong and weak at, then spend your time on the weak parts.
  • Take the free Interactive Practice Test that comes with your registration. It’s timed like the real test and shows your results by content category.
