Praxis Core Preparation
Are you a prospective teacher who needs to pass the Praxis Core Exam?
Have you already attempted the Praxis Core and not been successful? If
you answered yes to either of these questions, then this course is for you!
You’ll develop all the skills you need for the test as we review and prepare
for everything it includes. You’ll get familiar with the different types of
questions that appear on the reading and writing tests. You’ll master
the many areas of math that you’ll be tested on: number operations,
negative numbers, exponents, square roots, order of operations, decimals,
fractions, percentages, algebra, geometry, systems of measurement,
and probability and statistics. To prepare for the two essays, we’ll discuss
what constitutes high scoring essays. We’ll also go through the process
of writing each essay in the amount of time allotted. You’ll learn useful
test-taking strategies and get plenty of practice questions that are similar
to what you’ll find on the exam. You’ll also have the opportunity to take
a full-length practice test in each subject area. Using clear explanations,
numerous examples, graphics, animation, and videos, this course will not
only prepare you for the Praxis Core, but do so in a way that’s fun and
interesting. After completing this course, you’ll be totally ready to pass
the Praxis Core Exam! Course Revised May 2015.
