The Praxis 1 Core 5752 study guide FAQs
The writing prompts of the Praxis Core are scored on a scale from 1 to 6. The essay is scored holistically, meaning that the entire essay is scored as a whole, and is not scored in parts.
Generally, an essay will earn a passing score if it: is organized, incorporates information from provided sources in the arguments, displays competent use of the English language, is generally free from grammatical and spelling errors, and adequately addresses the prompt (the latter being the most important of the metrics)
To pass the Praxis 1 test, you must first understand what is on the exam and what you will be expected to know. Once you identify areas of weakness, you can begin targeting those areas with instructional content and practice questions.
The Praxis 1 is graded on a curve. Each question you answer correctly is worth one “raw” point. So all the questions you answer correctly equals your “raw” score. Your “raw” score is then scaled- which means that ETS looks at how everyone else answered the same questions and then “scales” your score.
This means that if you have an easy set of questions that you and everyone else scores very high on, the test will “scale” your score so that the passing percentage is equal (or fair) for people who get harder test questions.
The full test is 5 hours, but expect to be at the testing site longer. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment time to get checked in.

The Praxis® Core can be difficult for a majority of test-takers. In general, if you do not meet the exemption requirements for your state, you should spend a significant amount of time preparing for the Praxis® Core.
