Frequently Asked Questions

The Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators is a series of three exams that measure foundational academic skills in Reading (5713), Writing (5723), and Mathematics (5733). These tests are typically required for admission into teacher preparation programs and for educator licensure in many states. The exams assess college-level skills considered essential for success in teacher education and the classroom.

The Praxis Core includes three separate tests:

  • Reading (5713) – Focuses on key ideas and details, craft and structure, and integration of knowledge and ideas through passage-based questions.
  • Writing (5723) – Assesses text production, research skills, grammar, usage, and includes selected-response and essay components.
  • Mathematics (5733) – Covers number and quantity, algebra, geometry, statistics, and problem solving.

No. The Praxis Core is divided into three separately scored tests. Each test is registered for and reported independently. If you pass two sections but do not meet the required passing score on one, you only need to retake the test you did not pass — not the entire Core series.

ETS requires a 28-day waiting period before retaking a Praxis exam. The waiting period begins on your test date. Always confirm your state’s specific score requirements and retake policies through your Department of Education or the official ETS Praxis website before registering again.

The Praxis Core is typically considered moderately challenging because it measures college-level academic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics—not advanced content, but skills you are expected to have mastered before entering a teacher preparation program.

Many test takers report that Mathematics is the most difficult section due to algebraic reasoning, data analysis, and multi-step problem solving. Others find the timed Reading passages or the Writing essays demanding because they require strong comprehension, grammar knowledge, and clear organization under time pressure.
