The Praxis Elementary Education: Mathematics and Science subtest is designed to assess the content knowledge that prospective elementary education teachers must have to support children’s learning in these content areas. The 85 selected-response questions focus on the broad knowledge of mathematics and science necessary for prospective teachers of children in primary through upper elementary school grades.

The assessment is designed and developed through work with practicing elementary teachers, teacher educators, and higher education content 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
