The Praxis Writing exam is a key part of teacher certification in many states across the U.S. It assesses your ability to use standard written English, develop ideas clearly, and effectively communicate in writing. The exam is split into multiple-choice questions and two essay sections: one argumentative and one source-based.
Excelling on this test not only helps you become a certified teacher but also sharpens skills you'll use every day in the classroom, from writing lesson plans to communicating with parents.
A candidate reviews a sample essay prompt to understand what is expected in the argumentative section.
A test-taker practices multiple-choice grammar questions to prepare for the mechanics portion.
