Many people overestimate their skills and head to test day unprepared. Study hard and you\u2019ll rock the Praxis Math test!<\/p>\n<h2>Figure out what is covered on the Praxis Math test<\/h2>\n<p>First, you need to know <em><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/praxis\/level-math-tested-praxis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">what to study<\/a><\/em>! ETS publishes study companions for every Praxis test. The <a>Praxis Math test study companion<\/a> is a great resource. Starting on page 6, you\u2019ll find a list of topics covered. After that, you\u2019ll find a description of question types and examples.<\/p>\n<h2>Figure out where your weak points are<\/h2>\n<p>Most people have some strong areas and some areas for improvement when it comes to math. Start by looking over the topic list. Do any jump out at you as topics you <em>know<\/em> you need to brush up on? Write them down.<\/p>\n<p>Next, take a practice test or at least a wide range of practice questions. When you attempt each question, try ranking each question with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>3:<\/strong> \u201cI could solve this in my sleep.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>2:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m not totally sure about this.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>1:<\/strong> \u201cI have no clue how to solve this.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make yourself a list of topics in order of how much work you need. The \u201c1\u201d questions should be highest priority, followed by those you ranked \u201c2,\u201d and so on. Look at the topics you wrote down early on, too, and make sure they are covered.<\/p>\n<h2>\nFigure out<em> when<\/em> to study: Create a study schedule<\/h2>\n<p>It works best if you set aside a period of time each day to devote to studying. You are much more likely to remember things you learn this way than things you learn in a marathon cram-session. Plus, studying with a study schedule allows you to evaluate your progress as you go using practice questions.

That may be worth it to really get a feel for how to pace yourself on test day or to have plenty of practice.
