Prepare for the tests:

• ETS has found that most of the test takers who failed the tests did not prepare for them in any way. Therefore, you should start preparing several months before you plan to take the tests.
• The primary source for information on the tests should be the Test-at-a-Glance publications. The booklets are free and may be obtained in Keystone 202 or via the Internet at Test at a Glance. If there is a test guide for the test you are taking, check the Praxis Prep Office in Keystone 409  to see if we have it for you to borrow.  Or you can call the Praxis Prep Office  at 724-938-4487.
• Barron's How to Prepare for the Praxis is also another good resource which can be borrowed from the Praxis Prep Office also.
