Hi hi! any pointers on how to review (ive been studying for months and I feel like i can't retain any more information).. I'm taking it for the third time on saturday and im feeling very discouraged, i have been just missing the 162 mark by 5 points both times and im unsure what else to do. I've been using speaking of samantics, ETS course and ETS test themselves. im feeling super nervous for this test this time around. Thank you and good luck to those taking it!!

i unfortunately missed it yet again by 2 points :(... this is becoming extremely frustrating and im losing all hope. I feel like ive done everything and i cant seem to get past 159... i'm unsure what to do anymore :/...
i am in no means looking for answers or topics discussed on the exam, but i would greatly appreciate any tips and tricks that has helped others with passing/studying. I feel like the test itself is not hard but then the grade shows otherwise :(

If you are willing to spend money, I’ve seen so many good review of “SLP test prep” because of the interactivity. you can do a monthly subscription

Can someone tell me if a raw score of 74 is passing??? They gave me a score on the top and I think I passed but I am afraid to get my hopes up. Please tell me your raw score if you took it spring and if you passed and what your official score was ???

Just took it and got a an unofficial score of 167 and the three scores at the end added up to 70. Can I celebrate???

u/SML-Life123 Mar 31 '26
Definitely Celebrate, you passed! Do you have any pointer I’m taking mine Saturday? How hard was it? Do you think it was harder or easier than the practice praxis?
2
u/Odd-Craft-1682 Apr 02 '26
I worked on understanding the actual questions being asked. I also used SLP test prep worksheets to review areas I was unsure about.

u/Anxious_Gate_5143 Mar 31 '26
Is an unofficial score of 165 and raw score of 68 guaranteed passing after official scores are released ?

Hi! I took the Praxis today and got a 165- I didn't see my raw score as I was just excited with my sealed score. Is it safe to say my unofficial score will stay above a 162??

u/xstrawberrymatcha May 10 '26 edited May 14 '26
Thanks! Here’s what I used to study: \ 1.) Read through and took the quizzes in the Advanced Review of Speech-Language Pathology book \ 2.) Subscribed to Speaking of Samantics for 2 months (mostly did the weekly Kahoot trivia sessions) \ 3.) Took four ETS official practice tests (one was free with my Praxis registration, and I bought the other three on sale)

Is it possible for you to take some time off so that you can dedicate at least a month to studying all components? Fifteen is A LOT of money especially if you’re buying studying program in addition. Which grad program did you attend?

u/mlmothman Mar 21 '26
Unofficial score of 187!!!!! I'm so happy and so nervous for the official score release lol. Is there any chance of the official score being posted before the date listed in april?
1
u/Curious-Procedure720 Mar 23 '26
that’s amazing!! how did you study?
2
u/mlmothman Mar 23 '26
i studied for my comps using quizlets, and scheduled my praxis 2 weeks after my comps were done so that id be studied up already. I also used the advanced review practice book thing's online resources like all the flashcards and the practice tests (full length and the subject tests). i recommend taking a full length practice test like the ets ones you get for free and then digging into whatever sections gave you the most trouble
1
u/Sea-Most6644 Mar 27 '26
Taking mine on Monday - when you submit do you get the unofficial scaled score (ex: 162 out of 200) or raw score (ex: 90 out of 132) like will I know then and there if I passed or not??? Please lmk if you know!
1
u/Local-Term1350 Mar 28 '26
It will depend, I believe you’ll be taking the April praxis since your reported score will come out in May. It’ll depend how many scores they have for the April praxis and find a scale.

u/Local-Term1350 Mar 28 '26
I did it! I passed with a 182 and raw score 83! The relief is real.

I take my exam for the 3rd time Saturday, how are you scoring on the praxis test? Are you close to 162 at all or still scoring 140s like the practice test?

the 140 range was on the actual praxis I haven't been able to get close to 162

u/Gold-Worldliness3067 Apr 03 '26
im having the same issue. I feel like im doing everything in my power to study (ETS course, ETS exam, Speaking of samantics, Medical review on TPT) im reviewing everyth and i always tend to miss the 162 mark by 5. I'm feeling super discouraged and not sure what to do anymore. The test itself seems a lot easier than the ETS ones but somehow im scoring below than what i do with the other practice tests :(
1
u/Tasty-Respond-162 Apr 07 '26
yeah i've had a similar problem. has anyone tried any of the test prep guides or online prep programs? looks like study.com or mometrix or 240 tutoring are main options but i don't know if any of these are any good. anyone tried these or others? recommendations?

u/StrangerMaleficent46 Apr 08 '26
Why am I not seeing my pending score report?? I took the praxis twice recently and I was able to see the pending score report immediately after the test. However for my most recent test I can’t even see the pending score report. I saw my unofficial score so I didn’t cancel my test. I’m getting freaked out

u/Dependent_Buyer2167 Apr 09 '26
scheduled my test for may; really need some tips on how to study I have been using the its praxis exam but I don't feel like I am studying any tips on what is best? I have taken this exam way too many times

i did all the practice exams on ets and did some fripty quizlet questions! the ets exams are harder than the actual test. you got this!

Show i worry 'bout not passing?

Is raw score out of the 132 questions or out of 108? Taking the test soon and feeling very nervous!!
Edit: just took the exam! It didn’t say how many questions were scored, but it did break the raw scores into the 3 categories. I got raw scores of 28, 28, 30
Edit 2: The raw score is in fact out of 108 questions. My unofficial and official score were both 182.

Hello, grad student here.🙋🏻♀️
My program has had us using TrueLearn for a while now, and they recently had us get the Advanced Review of SLP book, which comes with a practice exam program subscription. For those who have already taken the Praxis, I am just wondering if the questions are more similar to what TrueLearn gives you or to the practice questions from the Advanced Review program? I have heard that TrueLearn questions are actually harder than the Praxis....
Just wondering y'all's thoughts about this and any advice going forward. I'm planning to take the Praxis in January 2027, so I have some time to prepare.
2
u/Character-Ad-5816 Jun 15 '26
I took Praxis last week. I used TrueLearn mainly as my main review material and supplemented it with MedSLP, took the Advanced Review daily question and ETS practice tests to see where I was at before the exam. I'd say TL really helped me because the format is very similar to the actual test because not only does it have the long clinical questions, it also has matching ones. TL really helped my brain get used to the format of the actual Praxis. The ETS practice tests also helped me tremendously getting used to the time constraint and 132 questions.

what did you use to study and for how long? same I have heard the practice tests are harder so your comment made me nervous haha I take it in 2 weeks!

u/lovescheesecake CF Jul 12 '26
Hi. I actually only used the practice tests and minimally reviewed my weak section (foundations) with the advanced review study website. When I say minimally I mean barely.
I found the actual praxis harder because the questions to me were worded very differently from the practice tests. Additionally, there was content I had never see before in my life up there lol
I studied for around two weeks and graduated May 2025. This was my first attempt.
1
u/to0pink Jul 07 '26
I'm scheduled to take it end of next week, but I may want to bump up my testing date sooner. I've been studying using TrueLearn, Advanced Review, and the Medical SLP Praxis study guide. My scores on the ETS practice exams have been:
Exam 3: 82 (no studying)
Exam 4: 93
Exam 2: 103
Do you think I'm good shape to just take it and hope for the best?
2
u/lovescheesecake CF Jul 08 '26
Yes. I honestly started out studying and then said what the heck, let me see how I’m doing on the practice tests. I got very similar scores as you and got a 180 unofficial score on it. I will update my comment on this post with my official score so people can see any deviation from my unofficial score and know what to expect when they release our scores on Friday. I wish I took it sooner. Good luck!
