The Elementary Education: Science Subtest is designed to assess whether an examinee has the broad knowledge and competencies necessary to be licensed as a beginning teacher at the elementary school level. The 55 selected-response questions are based on the material typically covered in a bachelor’s degree program in elementary education.
The subtest incorporates the content topics in the National Science Education Standards (NSES), the National Science Teacher Association (NSTA) standards, and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). This subtest may contain some questions that will not count toward your score.
An on-screen scientific calculator is provided for the computer-delivered test. Please consult the Praxis Calculator Use page for further information. You are expected to become familiar with the functionality of the calculator before taking the test.
