\"How<\/p>\n

If you are taking the Praxis Core, you need to know how to study for the Praxis Reading test! Here are my top Praxis reading study tips.<\/p>\n

Figure Out What\u2019s Covered on the Praxis Reading<\/h2>\n

The Praxis Reading covers three sections: \u201cKey Ideas and Details,\u201d \u201cCraft, Structure, and Language Skills,\u201d and \u201cIntegration of Knowledge and Ideas.\u201d So what does that actually mean? Your best bet is to check out the Study Companion from ETS<\/a>. Starting on page 6, the guide breaks down individual topics covered in each area. Read over these to get a sense of what the test actually covers. Make a note of any topics that you aren\u2019t sure of or want to practice more- that will be helpful later when you make a study plan. <\/p>\n

Look at the Praxis Reading Question Types<\/h2>\n

Basically, the Praxis Reading test requires you to read a passage and answer questions about it. All the questions are multiple choice. Some sections require you to answer multiple questions about the same reading passage. You\u2019ll answer questions that ask you to analyze the text, use context clues, and infer the author\u2019s perspective, among other topics. In the Study Companion, there are sample questions starting on page 12. These will give you a good idea of the length and difficulty of the reading passages you\u2019ll see. <\/p>\n

Carve out Time to Study<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t overestimate your preparation for the Praxis Reading! It can be a tough test, and you want to pass the first time, right? Invest the time in studying. Follow my guide to create your own study plan<\/a> or use Mike\u2019s ready-made one-month plan<\/a>. Either way, put studying on your calendar and treat it as an appointment. Last-minute cramming probably won\u2019t get you the results you want. When you have studying planned out, you can be sure you cover everything on the test (especially things you are more worried about). You\u2019ll have more time for a healthy amount of rest and nutritious eating, both of which you need to stay healthy for test day and to remember the things you\u2019re studying. <\/p>\n

Practice, Practice, Practice!<\/h2>\n

Practice tests or sample questions are a great way to figure out where your problem areas are and where you are feeling confident. It\u2019s useful to use sample questions to get the hang of the sort of things you might see on the test so it doesn\u2019t catch you off guard on test day. I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019d rather realize I had no idea how to describe author\u2019s purpose when I was studying than on test day itself! \ud83d\ude09 Practice questions can help you build confidence and point you in the right direction for more studying. It can be tricky to find full-length practice tests online<\/a>, but there are some resources out there<\/a>. You can also check out sample questions right here on the Praxis blog! To start, check out the posts in our Reading archive<\/a>, and happy studying!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
