The Praxis Early Childhood: Mathematics and Science subtest is designed to assess the content knowledge that prospective early childhood teachers must have to support children’s learning in these content areas. The 90 selected-response questions focus on the broad knowledge of mathematics and science necessary for prospective teachers of children in prekindergarten and the lower elementary grades.

The specifications for this subtest were confirmed by an advisory panel consisting of expert elementary teacher educators and specialists familiar with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards, the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) standards, and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

The test consists of a variety of selected-response questions for which you will select one or more answer choices, and other types of questions. This test may contain some questions that will not count toward your score.
