A study guide provides a list of information that you should review before taking the exam. You can use the Praxis Core study guide to discover what material you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2>Mathematics<\/h2>\n<p>Some of the information covered on the mathematics exam include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Algebra and functions<\/li>\n<li>Geometry<\/li>\n<li>Numbers and quantities<\/li>\n<li>Statistics and probability<\/li>\n<li>Percentages and ratios<\/li>\n<li>Measurements<\/li>\n<li>Graphs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your study guide should include specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ets.org\/s\/praxis\/pdf\/5732.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of questions<\/a> that you might see. It would also be helpful to have a list of vocabulary terms that you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2>Reading<\/h2>\n<p>The reading exam provides multiple passages with questions about those passages. Some of the questions that you need to answer could cover lots of different topics, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Literary genres<\/li>\n<li>Literary devices<\/li>\n<li>Themes<\/li>\n<li>Paraphrasing<\/li>\n<li>Point of view<\/li>\n<li>Author\u2019s purpose<\/li>\n<li>Figurative language<\/li>\n<li>Grammar<\/li>\n<li>Reading comprehension<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To prepare to <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/praxis\/approach-praxis-core-reading-passages\/\">answer these questions<\/a>, your study guide should explain what these mean, provide several examples of each one, and allow you to practice identifying these things in passages.<\/p>\n<h2>Writing<\/h2>\n<p>On top of composing your own essay, the writing exam consists of several questions to test your knowledge of writing. Questions cover various topics, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Parts of speech<\/li>\n<li>Punctuation<\/li>\n<li>Text types<\/li>\n<li>Thesis writing<\/li>\n<li>Grammar and mechanics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your study guide can prepare you for the exam by covering this material. You should feel confident in your writing abilities. One way to go about getting comfortable with this material would be to work through several examples of <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/praxis\/how-to-write-an-argumentative-essay-for-praxis-core-writing\/\">argumentative essay prompts<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/praxis\/preparing-praxis-core-essay-prompts\/\">informative (or explanatory) essay prompts<\/a>. Look for a Praxis Core study guide that includes several prompts for you to review. Then, you can use the prompts to practice writing essays similar to the ones on the exam.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t find a Praxis Core study guide to use, don\u2019t be afraid to make your own. Use the study guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intelligent.com\/create-a-study-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">create your study plan<\/a>, so you will cover all of the material you need to review before testing day. Use the above information to help you!
