Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Praxis 5025?

The Praxis 5025, officially called Education of Young Children, is an assessment developed by ETS for aspiring early childhood educators. It measures your knowledge of child development, learning theory, instructional practices, and professional responsibilities for working with children from birth through age 8. Many states require a passing score on this assessment for early childhood teaching licensure.

How many questions are on the Praxis 5025 and how long do I have?

The Praxis 5025 contains 120 selected-response (multiple-choice) questions, and you're given 2 hours to complete them. That works out to about one minute per question, so pacing yourself is important. Don't spend too long on any single question - flag it and come back if you have time at the end.

What score do I need to pass the Praxis 5025?

Passing scores vary by state, but most states set the bar somewhere between 156 and 163. For example, some states require a 156 while others may require a 160 or higher. Always check with your specific state's Department of Education for the exact passing score, since requirements can change from year to year.

What content areas does the Praxis 5025 cover?

The Praxis 5025 covers four main content areas: Child Development and Learning (roughly 30%), Language and Literacy Development (roughly 22%), Mathematics and Science in Early Childhood (roughly 22%), and Social Studies, the Arts, and Physical Development (roughly 26%). Questions span the full birth-through-age-8 range, so you'll need to know developmental milestones and appropriate practices for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary students.

How much does the Praxis 5025 cost and where can I take it?

The registration fee for the Praxis 5025 is approximately $130 as of 2026. You can take it at Prometric testing centers nationwide or, in some cases, through an online proctored option at home. Additional fees may apply for late registration, date changes, or score verification. Check the ETS Praxis website for the most current pricing and available testing locations near you.

How should I study for the Praxis 5025?

Start by taking practice questions to figure out which content areas give you the most trouble. Focus your study time there - don't just review what you already know. Brush up on major child development theorists like Piaget, Vygotsky, and Erikson. Review early literacy and math concepts, and make sure you understand developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) principles from NAEYC. A focused 3-4 week study plan, combined with consistent practice questions, tends to work well for most people.

Can I retake the Praxis 5025 if I don't pass?

Yes, you can retake the Praxis 5025 if you don't pass. ETS requires a 21-day waiting period between attempts, and there's no limit on how many times you can retake it. You'll need to pay the registration fee each time, though. Use the score report from your previous attempt to identify weak areas and target your studying before the retake.
