PRAXIS ANALYSIS 3
Early Childhood Development has long fascinated me and been the driving force for me
to pursue its ever evolving knowledge. It is my passion to understand it in order to better equip
myself in working with the child and the village that it takes to raise a healthy, whole child. In
this pursuit, there are requirements and deadlines that must be fulfilled. What does the Education
Department require of me before I can be accepted into my bachelor level early childhood
program at UNLV?
Exam Requirements
The Education Department requires future educators to complete and pass the Praxis
Core Academic Skills for Educators Exam before they can continue on their bachelor level work
for education at any university in Nevada (UNLV, NSC, or UNR). There are three sections of the
Praxis Core Exams that must be taken: math, writing, and reading. Math has a passing score of
150, writing has a passing score of 162, and reading can be passed with a score of 156.
Exam Preparation
In all honesty, I did not prepare for the practice tests as much as I should have since I was
pressed for time and my energy taxed by my pregnancy. I also wanted to see straight away how I
would fair and where I would need to improve on. I did most of my studying for math since that
is the subject that I find the most difficulty in. I reviewed problems and notes in my math
Exam Results
In math, I scored in the 74% range which means that I am borderline to passing that
section. I scored in the 88% range for writing which means that I am likely to pass. Lastly, I
scored in the 61% range when it came to reading which means that improvement is needed.
PRAXIS ANALYSIS 3
I definitely see the wisdom when the Education Department recommended that the exams
be taken after the completion of the English and Math requirements when all that knowledge is
still fresh in the mind. Unfortunately, I do not have that luxury any longer. So in order to prepare,
I will work with a tutor and take advantage of the study guides offered by Teachers Test Prep
online.
