Comments on: Study Tips for Praxis: Middle School Math? http://www.clintsmallband.org/middle-school-math/study-tips-for-praxis-middle-school-math Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:42:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Melanie L http://www.clintsmallband.org/middle-school-math/study-tips-for-praxis-middle-school-math/comment-page-1#comment-1762 Melanie L Thu, 18 Feb 2010 03:33:59 +0000 http://www.clintsmallband.org/middle-school-math/study-tips-for-praxis-middle-school-math#comment-1762 I did not do my Praxis in math, but rather in Spanish and French. No one else has answered, so I thought I would offer the best advice I have. I got a high school book and flipped through the pages. The things that I absolutely new and remembered I just skipped. The harder topics I paused on and reviewed. If there were some terms that I did not recall well I jotted them down and made my own study guide. When I took the test there were some questions that I knew right away and they came directly from the textbook review. Other things were very easy and I had no problem with. See if you can get a middle school text (or one for each grade; 6, 7 and 8) and just go through them. I think that you will be fine if you do that. Afterall, that is what they want you to know; the stuff that you would be teaching.<br><b>References : </b><br> I did not do my Praxis in math, but rather in Spanish and French.

I took the general Math PRAXIS and I teach high school math. I thought it was very simple, but my bachelors degree is in mathematics, so that might explain it. If it's been a while since you had trigonometry and calculus, I would brush up on those. Also, the PRAXIS website has practice tests and practice questions you can take. If you can't find a full practice test online, call a local university education department. They should have some practice PRAXIS exams as well. Good luck! Don't sweat it. It's really not very hard.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.ets.org/portal/site/ets/menuitem.fab2360b1645a1de9b3a0779f1751509/?vgnextoid=48c05ee3d74f4010VgnVCM10000022f95190RCRD I did not know they had a separate PRAXIS for Middle School Math.
