Passage Preparation™ offers courses aligned to Praxis® Principles of Learning and Teaching Tests.

What are the Praxis® PLT Tests?

Praxis® Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) tests assess your knowledge of pedagogy, including understanding students as learners, the instructional process, and student assessment. Depending on your certification area and state requirement, you must pass one of these certification tests. Passage Preparation has developed courses to help you prepare for the PLT: K-6 (5622), PLT: 5-9 (5623), PLT 7-12 (5624), & PLT PK-12 (5625).

ETS administers the Praxis PLT tests. These tests focus on the principles and aspects of learning and teaching that are essential for planning and delivering instruction. This includes using state and district standards to plan your instruction. Additionally, these tests include items designed to evaluate your understanding of classroom assessment processes. This includes formative and summative assessment based on your state’s standards for student learning. Finally, these tests assess your understanding of professional and ethical standards in the teaching profession.

Praxis® PLT Test Structure

These tests consist of 100 multiple-choice questions. You have two hours to complete your test, and you will take this test in a computer-delivered format. ETS scores these certification exams on a scale, and each state determines the passing score. Passage Preparation courses provide you with content aligned to the test standards and practice tests. Moreover, we provide study and test-taking strategies so that you can prepare for success on your certification test.
