Best study guide out there

I passed my ESL Praxis with a high score on my first attempt after studying with this study guide. It made the test sections and their content manageable, gave me meaningful tips and tricks, and helped me make sense of my misconceptions. I was better able to understand the content itself and also how the test design probes my understanding of that content, which made me more confident on test day.

Thank you so much. We’re glad to hear the guide helped you pass on your first try and with such a great score. Congratulations, and best of luck in your journey ahead.

Really helpful tips and study guide!

This was a super helpful study guide. I used this the final week before my test, and it was such a good way to finish my study and zone in on how to take the Praxis. I passed the Praxis 5362 with a189! I will definitely use KJ again someday for my next Praxis exams.

Huge help for my ESOL exam 188/200

I was quite skeptical about the course initially, especially after completing practice tests on other sites. I felt a bit lost at the beginning and needed some guidance, so I decided to proceed. The study guide proved to be extremely helpful and effective. I achieved a score of 188 out of 200 on the test, which I believe I would not have accomplished otherwise. Additionally, I found the inclusion of the video guides to be worth the extra $50, as they provided valuable structure to the study guide, and the end-of-unit check-ins were particularly useful.

A super effective resource!

I am very happy with the study guide as it gave me actual tips and the necessary skills to take the test. I literally took the test again today (at first time, I didn’t have her guide) and have found that I cut down a lot on time and felt more confident in answering the questions. I must say that I had utilized study.com MTEL online course for ESL and together with Kathleen’s study guide, I think I did excellent. I couldn’t have done so with just the online course from the study.com. This guide is a gold mine for effective strategies for test taking. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Definitely a super useful resource. Thank you Kathleen for doing what you are doing. This is indeed your talent, and our great support. I went on and bought your book on first time teachers too. Now, that I have seen the quality of your YouTube videos and the study guide, I’m sure that anything, really, that you publish will be very useful. Thank you so much! So glad that I stumbled upon your videos on YouTube by chance. :)))

The BEST, most comprehensive review for Praxis 5362

I just finished taking the Praxis 5362, and my raw score was 187 (93%.) Prior to taking this prep class, I only scored 68% on the practice exam. This course provided the best possible preparation! The combination of a two hour video, a comprehensive printable study guide, two practice exams, AND correct answer explanations, covered the ESOL material and test taking strategies. These strategies proved to be crucial in evaluating the Praxis answer choices. Thank you, Dr. Jasper!

Frequently Asked Questions

This study guide prepares you for multiple ESOL/ESL certification exams. We have combined the core content, competencies, and standards assessed across major exams into one comprehensive resource.

Fully aligned with current exam blueprints and test specifications, this book prepares you for:

  • Praxis ESOL 5362
  • TExES ESL 154
  • MTEL ESL 54

Although each state may require a different exam, the foundational knowledge and instructional competencies are closely aligned. This guide ensures you are prepared for whichever of these ESL certification exams your state requires.

The Praxis 5362 is divided into six content categories:

  • Foundations of Linguistics (18%) - 22 questions
    Language structure, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and language variation.
  • Foundations of Language Learning (22%) - 26 questions
    Theories of first- and second-language acquisition, stages of language development, and factors affecting language learning.
  • Planning and Implementing Instruction (23%) - 28 questions
    Instructional strategies, scaffolding, differentiation, content-based instruction, and supporting academic language development.
  • Assessment and Evaluation (15%) - 18 questions
    Formal and informal assessments, interpreting data, placement decisions, and monitoring student progress.
  • Culture (11%) - 13 questions
    Cultural identity, cross-cultural communication, and creating culturally responsive classrooms.
  • Professionalism and Advocacy (11%) - 13 questions
    Collaboration with families and colleagues, legal requirements, and advocating for multilingual learners.

Certification requirements vary by state, so the exact test code you need depends on where you are seeking licensure. To ensure you register for the correct exam, contact your state’s Department of Education directly.

Most states require a scaled score between 150 and 160, but requirements differ depending on your state’s certification standards. Praxis scores are reported as scaled scores. A scaled score adjusts for slight differences in difficulty between test versions, ensuring fairness across administrations. Because of this scaling process, the number of questions you answer correctly does not directly equal your final reported score.

Always check your state’s Department of Education website to confirm the exact passing score you need. You can access information on passing scores by state on the ETS website.
