Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Praxis 5354 discontinued?

Praxis 5354 (Special Education: Core Knowledge and Applications) is not universally discontinued, but availability depends on your state’s current licensure requirements. Some states have transitioned to newer Special Education exams, while others still accept 5354 for certification.

Before registering, verify with your state’s Department of Education whether 5354 is still an approved test code for your certification pathway. You can also confirm the current test status directly on the official ETS Praxis website.

How hard is the Special Education Praxis 5354?

Praxis 5354 is considered moderately challenging because it tests both foundational knowledge and the application of special education principles in realistic classroom scenarios. The exam includes 120 selected-response questions in two hours, requiring strong pacing and applied reasoning.

Many questions present case-based situations involving IEP development, instructional planning, assessment decisions, behavior supports, and professional responsibilities. Success depends on understanding how laws, instructional strategies, and assessment practices work together in practice—not just memorizing terminology.

Is Praxis 5354 the same as Praxis 5355?

No. Praxis 5354 (Core Knowledge and Applications) and Praxis 5355 (Foundational Knowledge) are different exams with different test designs and content emphasis.

Praxis 5354 focuses heavily on applying special education principles in classroom-based scenarios and aligns closely with the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) standards. Praxis 5355 emphasizes foundational knowledge across development, instruction, assessment, and professional practice.

What topics are covered on the Praxis 5354?

Praxis 5354 is organized into five major content categories:

Development and Characteristics of Learners (16%)
Planning and the Learning Environment (23%)
Instruction (23%)
Assessment (18%)
Foundations and Professional Responsibilities (20%)

The exam covers areas such as characteristics of disabilities, IEP planning, instructional strategies, accommodations and modifications, behavior management, progress monitoring, legal and ethical responsibilities, and collaboration with families and multidisciplinary teams.

Questions assess both knowledge of core principles and the ability to apply them in classroom and professional situations.
