General Preparation Tips

1. Learn what the exam covers.
   You can find test specifications for your exam(s) in the Praxis as well as for North Carolina's and exams. Each set of preparation materials outline the content categories that will be measured by the exam and what percentage of the exam will be devoted to each topic.
2. Assess how well you know the content. 
   Research has shown that test takers tend to overestimate their preparedness 鈥� this is why some test takers assume they did well and then find out they did not pass. These tests are demanding enough to require serious review of likely content, and the longer you've been away from the content the more preparation you will most likely need. If it has been longer than a few months since you've studied your content area, you will want to make a concerted effort to prepare for the tests.
3. Collect study materials.
   Obtaining and organizing your review materials for review are critical steps in preparing for the tests. Consider the following as you plan your study:
   
   1. Did you take a course in which the content area was covered? If yes, do you still have your book(s) or your notes?
   2. Check out a good introductory college or high-school level textbook that covers your topic from the library.
   3. Additional test preparation resources such as study guides and practice tests are available for most tests. Check the page to see what materials area available for your exam. The NC Foundations of Reading | General Curriculum page includes strategies, tutorials, videos, practice exams, and more.

4. Plan and organize your time.
   You can begin to plan and organize your time while you are still collecting materials. Allow yourself plenty of time to review so you can avoid "cramming" new material at the end. Here are a few tips:

   1. Choose a test date (Praxis and NC Foundations of Reading | General Curriculum) far enough in the future to leave you plenty of preparation time.

   2. Work backward from that date to figure out how much time you need to review.

   3. Set a realistic scheduled and stick to it.

5. Develop a study plan.
   

   A study plan provides a roadmap to prepare for the exams. It can help you understand what skills and knowledge are covered on the test and where to focus your attention. A written study plan can help you organize your efforts. ETS offers Praxis Core and Praxis II content-specific study plans (contact your Suite 201 advisor for a copy). While there are many online resources available, middle and high school textbooks are an excellent resource.
