Dr. Spires' observations about the PRAXIS exam: It's a performance-based exam so the questions ask you for the most part what you would "do" as a teacher. It seemed that there were usually two answers that could be correct, but then I had to make sure that the answer I chose was the one that "best" answered the question. Don't get tricked into selecting an answer because you know that it is factually correct; make sure that it is the best answer for the question being posed. There are 80 multiple choice questions and 2 constructed response questions. For these questions, you will be given a student reading situation (i.e., a case) and then you will write a response based on the prompt that was given. I found these to be easy because I could construct my own answer based on the data that was given to me. Most of the questions were about elementary reading (K-5).
