Praxis 5008 Math and Science Online Course

What does the Praxis 5008 online course consist of?

This course focuses solely on the math and science portion of the Praxis 5008

• Videos and online practice for math and science.
• The full 5008 digital study guide.
• A 1-hour 15-minute webinar discussing different problems and scenarios you'll see on the math exam.
• PowerPoint slides that go with the webinar.
• Visual elements and online test questions.
• Think Like a Test Maker strategies.

These exams not only test your ability to do math, but they also test your ability to teach math. Questions on this exam are lengthy and are scenario-based. You will have to understand the correct way to complete math problems and even the correct processes students must use in the classroom.

But fear not This course covers it all.

It is difficult to predict exactly how many questions you must get correct to pass because a scale score is used rather than a raw score. This means that your raw score–the number of questions you get correct–is put into a formula to calculate a scale score.

To keep things simple, we recommend scoring at least a 75% on the practice tests before you go in to take the exam. Getting 75% of the questions correct when you practice indicates you are ready to take the actual test.

While our online course is aligned with the test, it is against testing policy to share items on the actual exam. State tests are secure, standardized, and heavily regulated.

There are hundreds of test questions in the item banks for each exam. When you take the exam, your version of the test will be different from other versions and will have questions randomly pulled from the item banks. This ensures test security, validity, and reliability. Trying to memorize what you think will be on your test is an exercise in futility. Instead, you should study the skills and content outlined in the specifications and blueprint of the exam.

Everything in our course is aligned with the test specifications and blueprint for the exam. That way, you can review how the test is designed and what skills are assessed. The questions in our course are structured similarly to what you will encounter on test day, but they are not the same exact questions on the real exam.

We get a ton of requests for help with the math portions of elementary education exams, specifically for these two exams. Therefore, we decided to make a course that is solely focused on math content and skills. Because the 5008 and the 7813 are very similar exams, we bundled them together for this course.

Yes. There are three full practice tests in the study guide that accompany the course.

People have a range of skill levels when it comes to math, so it is difficult to predict exactly how long you should study. However, we recommend short, incremental practice over time. This is much better than cramming all of your studying into one or two weekends.

We believe 20-30-minute study sessions over a 1-2 week period for this exam is ideal.
