You do not need to demonstrate any maths knowledge for certification in Arizona.Ī would advise taking the practice exam for the Praxis and see how you do, the DC certification is far more marketable and the Praxis is much easier to complete (no travel), and explore what accommodations you may be eligible for. You wouldnt have this issue in Arizona as they do not have an equivalent requirement of the Praxis Core Exams of general knowledge (to include maths). States with their own exam contracted with one of the two (normally Pearson) to create their assessments, and one of the tasks they do is correlate them to other exams, as such neither exam is going to be easier. Your discalcula may allow you an accommodation to taking the exam.ĮTS (which publishes and administers the Praxis) and Pearson are the big test publishers. You cant just pass the numeracy portion and pass the test. You could miss all of the Algebra items and if you did VERY well on the rest you could still pass, but numeracy is only about 30% of the exam, 30% is Algebra, 20% Geometry, and 20 Statistics. You can still pass the exam in DC and most states while missing about 1/3rd to 1/4 of the items (depending on the state), because passing isnt based on your raw score but your scaled score (your comparison to a norm referencing sample). If you failed maths in upper secondary you may have problems, most secondary graduates have successfully passed two years of maths including Algebra and Geometry. The qualifier is that these are minimum standards, they arent at AP level, but unless you were in a state with REALLY LOW expectations the content wouldnt be at the 5th grade level. It tests your maths understanding in Algebra, Geometry, Numeracy and Statistics/Probability at the high school level. The Praxis Core Exam in Maths is at the common core minimum standards for a school leaving certificate.
