| Fact | Current detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Structure of the family | A set of separate content tests, each identified by its own four-digit code, rather than a single exam with sections | ETS Praxis |
| Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects (5001) | $180.00. 245 questions in 4 hours 35 minutes, across four separately timed subtests — Reading and Language Arts (5002), Mathematics (5003), Social Studies (5004), and Science (5005) | ETS Praxis 5001 |

| What drives the price | Length, closely. The $130 test is 120 questions in two hours; the $180 test is 245 questions in nearly four and a half. Budget by the code you actually need rather than assuming a single Praxis price | ETS Praxis test pages |
| Passing scores | Set by each state. Each state has its own requirements for certification, and ETS publishes passing scores by state rather than a single national cut | Praxis passing score requirements |
| Related assessment families | Beyond Core and Subject Assessments, ETS also administers ParaPro, the School Leadership Series, and PASL | ETS Praxis |

Questions people ask before choosing this path
How much does a Praxis Subject Assessment cost?
It varies by test, and price tracks length. Published fees include $130.00 for Special Education: Foundational Knowledge (5355), which is 120 questions in two hours; $146.00 for Speech-Language Pathology (5331) at 132 questions in 150 minutes; $156.00 for Teaching Reading: Elementary (5205); and $180.00 for Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects (5001), which runs 245 questions across four subtests in 4 hours 35 minutes.
How do I know which Praxis test my state requires?
Check your state requirement first and register by four-digit code. Test names overlap across codes, and states differ in which code they accept, so the name alone is not enough to identify the right assessment.
Is there one national passing score?
No. ETS reports your score and each state sets its own requirement, which is why the same score can qualify you in one state and not in another.
