What are the different Praxis ™ scores?
Although the overall score determines the highly qualified individual status in its teaching area, in one report a single score shows different scores ™. This different scores give a lot of information to the test recipient. Most importantly, however, is the minimum score of the passage of the state where one plans to teach. The data given in the score reports also allow you to create a study plan for the test.
Twenty -four states in the US uses a series of Praxis ™ tests to determine whether the teacher is highly qualified in his subject area under any child who remained behind the legislation. These tests last from one for two hours and some tests are divided into separate selection and sections of the essays. About a month after the test, the scores are visible through an online account on the educational test website. Although the teacher performed only one test, the score report contains different scores of this test.
The first score of Praxis ™ you see are the ones under the headerLook “Current test date”. Next to the name of the test are three sets of score. From left to right is the first score "your score", the score that was received during the test. The second range of numbers marked "possible score range" indicates all possible scores that could be obtained in the test. Finally, the second range of the "average power range" numbers, reports one of the range of the middle 50% of the test recipients in the latest test session; Although this last number has no direct relation to whether one has received a grade in the test, it suggests a person's power against others who compete for the same teaching work as the recipient of the test.
Another valuable set of Praxis ™ score in the score report is under the auspices of the beginning of the testing of the testing, followed by the "Ministry of Education". In the section, two Praxis ™ scores are very important. The first is the overall score reported at the beginning of the score about the score. The second is immediately to the right; This is the "required score of the passage" of the state. If the score of a person above thisthe number is highly qualified in its subject area; One can send the necessary paperwork to the State Ministry of Education to add a certificate to his teacher's license/certificate.
On the last page of the score report is the distribution of Praxis ™. The test is divided into four or five categories, each of which is in the area of academic subject. One learns his performance in each category by comparing "earned initial points" against "available points". As with the first part of the report, the "average power range" is included. The last page of the score report is especially valuable if one failed test; Before repeating, you can only focus on areas where improvement is needed.
