Frequently Asked Questions
The PRAXIS is a series of standardized tests required for teacher certification in Texas and most other states. Depending on your certification area, you'll take content-specific exams (like PRAXIS Mathematics or PRAXIS English Language Arts) plus the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) exam. Texas requires PRAXIS scores for initial teacher licensure, making it a critical step for anyone pursuing a teaching career in the Dallas area.
With 22 school districts across Dallas County serving over 207,000 students, there's consistent demand for qualified educators. Most Dallas-area school districts—including Dallas ISD, one of the largest in Texas—require passing PRAXIS scores before hiring. Strong preparation helps you pass on your first attempt, which is essential for staying competitive in the job market and beginning your teaching career on schedule.
Many test-takers struggle with time management during the exam, content gaps in their subject area, and test anxiety. Additionally, the PLT exam requires understanding of educational theory and classroom application, which can be difficult to prepare for independently. Personalized instruction helps you identify your specific weak areas and build targeted strategies rather than reviewing material you already know well.
In a traditional classroom setting, instruction moves at a fixed pace regardless of individual needs—but PRAXIS preparation requires focused, targeted work on your specific content gaps and test-taking skills. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to diagnose exactly where you're struggling (whether it's content knowledge, time management, or test strategy), then adapt lessons to address those areas. This focused approach typically leads to faster improvement and more confident test performance.
Your first session will focus on understanding your background, goals, and specific challenges. A tutor will likely assess your familiarity with the exam format, review sample questions in your content area, and identify which topics or question types feel most difficult. This diagnostic work helps create a personalized study plan that targets your priorities and fits your timeline before test day.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in your particular PRAXIS exam—whether that's Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, or another content area. Subject-specific expertise is crucial because PRAXIS exams test both deep content knowledge and the ability to teach that content to K-12 students, requiring a tutor who understands both dimensions.
Most candidates benefit from 4-8 weeks of focused preparation, though the right timeline depends on your baseline knowledge, target score, and test date. If you're already strong in your subject area, you might focus mainly on test strategy and the PLT exam. If you have significant content gaps, you may need longer to build foundational skills alongside test preparation. A tutor can help you create a realistic timeline during your first session.
Passing scores vary by exam. For example, PRAXIS Mathematics requires a score of 157 out of 200, while PRAXIS English Language Arts requires 157 out of 200. The PLT exam (required for all teachers) requires different passing scores depending on your grade level. Texas Education Agency (TEA) maintains the official passing score requirements, and your tutor can help you understand the specific targets for your certification area.
