<\/p>\nPraxis score review is an option if you think your official score doesn\u2019t match how well you did on the test. Basically, if you really believe you should have scored higher, you might think about getting a Praxis score review. Here\u2019s what you need to know if you are thinking about it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many Praxis questions are multiple choice or otherwise scored by a computer. These are called \u201cselected response\u201d questions. They are automatically scored by computer at the test center. They are verified again before you receive your official score. Since all of these scores have already been double-checked, you can\u2019t request a Praxis score review for selected response tests.<\/p>\n
Constructed response tests, such as the Praxis Core writing, are scored by a trained (human) grader. You can request that these scores be reviewed since there is a small possibility for human error.<\/p>\n
You\u2019d probably request a Praxis score review hoping for a higher score, but there is no guarantee. In fact, rescoring the test may result in a lower score if graders find mistakes they missed the first time around. A score review is by no means a sure bet for getting a passing grade if you failed the first time.<\/p>\n
Requesting a rescore will cost you $65. That\u2019s in addition to the test fee you already paid. That\u2019s a lot of money for a relatively small chance of changing your grade. However, if they do find mistakes and adjust your score, this fee will be refunded.<\/p>\n
The Praxis website does not list a specific timeline for receiving adjusted scores, but it will likely take at least a few weeks. If you are waiting to learn whether or not you should retake the test, you probably don\u2019t have a lot of time to spare.<\/p>\n
To be honest, there isn\u2019t a big chance that your score will change much, if at all, from requesting a Praxis score review. If you are very close to passing and you honestly believe you were mis-graded (you aren\u2019t just hoping<\/em> that\u2019s the case), requesting a score review may be worthwhile. You can do that by filling out and sending in the score review request form<\/a>. Otherwise, it\u2019s probably better to invest your time, money, and energy into retaking the test<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Praxis score review is an option if you think your official score doesn\u2019t match how well you did on the test.
