ExploreAbout this exam
Praxis Geometry is one of the subject assessments in the Praxis family of educator certification tests administered by ETS. ETS describes Praxis as the assessment that measures "core teaching skills and subject knowledge for educator licensing in the U.S." The Geometry test is intended for candidates seeking a teaching license or endorsement in mathematics with a geometry emphasis, typically at the secondary level, and states and educator preparation programs use Praxis scores as part of their certification requirements. Because each state sets its own requirements, ETS advises candidates to check state requirements before registering so they register for the right test. ETS publishes free study companions and study guides describing test format and test outline, and offers official test prep including online courses, digital flashcards and practice tests. ETS also states that 88.1% of people who use at least one Praxis test-prep product pass the exam, based on a survey of 345 Praxis users in 2024. This page is an independent study resource and is not affiliated with or endorsed by ETS. Test length, question count, fee, passing score and retake rules for this specific test are not stated in the sources reviewed here and are marked for review rather than estimated.
What you'll study
About Praxis Geometry preparation
Who administers the Praxis Geometry test?
ETS administers the Praxis tests. ETS describes Praxis as assessing core teaching skills and subject knowledge for educator licensing in the United States. Registration, score reporting, accommodations and test-day logistics are handled through ETS and the Praxis website, not through this independent study page.
Should I check my state's requirements before registering?
Yes. ETS states that each state has its own requirements for certification and advises candidates to make sure they register for the right test. Requirements can differ by state and can change, so confirm the specific test your state accepts before you pay for a registration.
How many questions are on the test and how long is it?
The sources reviewed here do not state a question count or time limit for this test, so no figure is given rather than an estimate. Check the official Praxis test page and the Information Bulletin for the current format before you build a timed practice plan.
What does it cost and what is the passing score?
No fee or passing score for this specific test appears in the sources reviewed, so neither is stated here. Passing scores are set by states, and ETS maintains a passing scores by state resource. Confirm both the fee and your state's required score on the official Praxis site.
How should I prepare, and in what order?
ETS points candidates to free study companions and study guides that describe the test format and outline, plus official prep such as online courses, digital flashcards and practice tests. Start with the outline, map each topic to your own strengths, then work practice questions and review errors before timed full-length practice.
Does using Praxis prep products improve pass rates?
ETS reports that 88.1% of people who use at least one Praxis test-prep product pass the exam, based on a survey of 345 Praxis users in 2024. That is a self-reported survey figure from the test maker, not a guarantee, and it does not describe results for this test alone.
What are common reasons candidates fall short?
The most frequent problems are skipping the official test outline, practicing without timing, and memorizing formulas without being able to justify or apply them in multi-step problems. Another is preparing from undifferentiated general math material instead of the topics the test actually lists.
Can I retake the test, and how long are scores valid?
The sources reviewed do not state retake rules or score validity periods for this test, so those details are not given here. ETS maintains dedicated pages for rescheduling, retaking or canceling a test and for understanding scores; consult those before making decisions based on a prior attempt.
Is this page official ETS material?
No. This is an independent study resource written for candidates searching this exam. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by ETS, and it does not reproduce official test questions. Always treat the official Praxis website and Information Bulletin as the authoritative source.
