Praxis Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects (5001) is the assessment ETS lists for candidates seeking a generalist elementary school license to teach English, mathematics, social studies, and science. It is built as a family of subtests - 5002, 5003, 5004, and 5005 - with one subtest devoted to each of those four subject areas, so candidates should think of preparation as four separate content projects rather than one undifferentiated exam. The Praxis 5001 case studies are 5 cases and about 2,203 words.
