Best of luck! And don't panic :)

That's great! Well done :)

@@KathleenJasperEdD Thank you!!!

Roughly, yes. But remember, this is not an exact science. Scale scoring is very complicated. I have tried to simplify it here. I always say you should shoot for a 75% correct on the practice tests. That means you're ready. However, there is no need to have a panic attack. You can do this :)

Looks like you're in a good position to pass. Remember, you will probably not receive the same test questions on a practice test as you do on test day. However, a 161 on the practice test is good. Be sure you understand the content and skills. I know taking practice tests feels good. However, you will want to review those test specifications and content so you are fully prepared. Thanks for watching!

Hi there, thank you for using my products. You will never know what questions you will get on the exam. Some questions have a higher depth of knowledge than others. The most important thing you can do is really understand the concepts tested on the exam. That's why we have so much information in the study guide before the practice tests. We craft our questions based on the blueprint, test specifications, and sample questions ETS provides. However, we have no idea what questions you will get on the actual exam. It is very effective that you are using both ETS and another study guide to study for the exam. I would focus less on practice questions and more on the content being assessed. Practice tests are an effective way to measure your readiness. However, the content in the book is most important. If you want to learn more about test administration and how item banks work, watch this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c92TPxR_m7w.html Thanks again.

Thank you for using my products. You're moving in the right direction, so keep going. I explain how to read your score report and I go over the writing portion in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aAa117I_OMM.html It's for the PLT but the same method applies for the Praxis Core. Hope that helps. Have a great day.

That's a great start. I would go back and fix up some of those concepts. I always say a 75% correct on the practice test means you're ready for the real exam. Also, there is no constructed response for the 5002. It's just selected-response.

None as of this time. ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC

I know it's been a few months but curious how the official score was for you. I took 5008 and my unofficial is 153 and to pass I need 158

Hi there, We wanted to share one of our videos that can be incredibly helpful when it comes to utilizing the ETS Study Companion effectively in order to successfully pass your test. We actually use the 5081 test as an example, providing you with valuable insights and guidance.

How did you do on the test? What did you use to study?

@@moniolowere9607 I passed but barely haha. I didn’t study nearly as much as I should have though. I went onto the praxis website and found the info for my specific one and found the area where it tells you stuff to study and know. There was a good amount there so I took each individual bullet point and copied it into chat gpt then pasted the answer into a Google doc. I know AI is kind of taboo but it’s a good tool for getting a general baseline knowledge about something so I did that. The Google doc ended up being 194 pages😅

Your unofficial and official score are usually the same. So your score is a 145. Sometimes the unofficial and official are different, but in most cases, they are the same. Search my channel for how to read your score report. This will help you determine where you were low and where you need to focus your efforts in studying for the test. Thank you so much for watching!

Thanks for watching. You calculate it the same way I explain in this video. You can also go to the blog post in the description for our praxis score calculator.

I explain it all in this video. You can also read this blog: kathleenjasper.com/blogs/news/how-to-calculate-your-praxis-score?_pos=1&_sid=76e3e82b9&_ss=r

It is difficult to predict exactly how many questions you must get correct to pass the PLT Praxis test because a scale score is used rather than a raw score. This means that your raw score-how many you got correct-is put into a formula to calculate a scale score. ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC

Constructed response questions are scored by trained educational professionals. Two scorers will independently rate each of your written responses, and a third will weigh in if the two graders do not agree within one point. Usually, tests with a constructed response section allocate 25% of the overall score to the constructed response. For example, on the Praxis Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT), the selected response part of the test is worth 75% of the overall score, and the constructed response is worth 25% of the overall score. ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC

@@KathleenJasperEdD thanks. I'm mainly concerned with the quantity and paragraph structure of my answers. Do you have any insight on that?

To determine whether you passed the Praxis Core Writing test (5723), you need to check the passing score requirement set by the Ohio Department of Education. Passing scores vary by state and institution. ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC

According to your unofficial score, you were two points from passing. So your official will most likely match that. It is rare that the official surpasses the unofficial.

What did you use to study for 5081?

If that was your unofficial score, you should be good. It is close. However, the unofficial USUALLY matches the official. You should be ok.

@@KathleenJasperEdD thank you 🙏

​@@Ricardo_Lucero What ended up being your score?

@@catkit86 159. I took all of my praxis tests and my experience is that mostly if the test is all multiple choice strictly, your unofficial score will be the same as your official score. As it was for basically all my tests.

@@catkit86 it’s was the same 159, like my unofficial stated

I'm really sorry to hear about your Praxis 5025 results. Remember that setbacks are temporary, and with perseverance, you can work towards improvement. Here's a FREE webinar on 5025.

Once you get your score report, you'll be able to evaluate your scores. Thanks for watching :)

I mention in the video that questions are weighted differently based on complexity levels and the scale scoring system. On the second test, you may have gotten more answers correct, but their complexity level may have been lower. It's frustrating. However, I recommend getting 75% correct on your practice tests before going into the actual exam. That way you are in the safe zone for passing. You may want to watch this video too.

The constructed response is worth 25% of your overall score. They use a scale score, so determining the exact points is not possible. I do have a video on how to estimate your score. You can watch that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pB5nPyten_o.htmlsi=rDhla-apVX_99B_B
