I told my principal that if I didn’t pass the Praxis content knowledge test, I wouldn’t take it again. I felt like I did as well as I would ever do. In order to pass, I needed to score 157 out of a possible score range from 100-200. (Yeah, weird system.) Well, my score report was available online today.
I was right, I did as well as I would ever do. I scored 200. *blink-blink* Yep, the math teacher scored 200 on the English content knowledge test.
I didn’t get everything right, as the score suggests. I missed 9 out of 120 questions. Not shabby. Most were “Literature and Understanding” questions, a very wide category with over half the questions. I did ace all the “Language and Linguistics” questions. I missed two “Composition and Rhetoric” questions.
Am I happy? Enough, I guess. I sill have to wait a week or so for my pedagogy test score, the one I was worried about. I’m a little less worried now, but only a little. We’ll see how it goes. But so far, so good.

Woohoo! Missing just 9 out of 120? That’s pretty awesome. Congrats! Hope the second half comes out as well 🙂
Victory! You beat the test by cramming, too. You should write a book (“How I Did It” or something).
Smarties always prosper.
