After retaking the Praxis core writing test 4 times today I finally got the scores needed to enter the teacher preparation program at my school. I was so stressed because I only had 2 months to pass this test so I wouldn’t be forced to change my major . I want to say thank you because I used your essay outlines and I finally passed . Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
AMAZING! Well done and great job for not giving up. You can share this experience of perseverance with your students. They will benefit because you kept going. Awesome job!
You’re Very encouraging me, I failed writing test 4 times already 😫😩
What else did you do to pass this test. ( English is my second language)
I would like to share my happiness with you. I PASSED the exam. YAY!! I watched your praxis core videos multiple times and I can say that your explanations about grammar and writing parts helped me a lot to understand what i need to pass it. Your are a great teacher and helping million of people to pursued their dreams .
Thank you so much and god bless you.
YES!!!! Well done. Thanks for letting me know. I love getting messages like this.
I passed P-3, Praxis Core Writing and Reading on the 1st try with your resources! I bought your books and courses, but between working full-time and raising 2 young children my studying time was limited. It's been well over a decade since I've taken any sort of exam. Watching all of your videos was extremely helpful! Thank you so much. I'll be taking the Praxis Core Math in a couple of weeks. I've already secured a teaching position pending my math score, but I feel confident that I will pass. I can't thank you enough!!
That is amazing. Well done. You are juggling a LOT. Be proud of yourself. :)
The essay writing sections are definitely the most difficult for me, so these techniques to break down the essay into manageable chunks really help! I look forward to trying them!
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for making this! It was very helpful! I wasn’t confident about being able to complete this writing in 30 minutes until watching the video. Got a 180!
Congratulations...Can you tell me please how many reasons and personal examples did you write? Also, what was your score in your Essays?
@@mariamtomamassoud8105 I didn’t use any personal experiences because the writing prompt was kind of weird and personal experience wasn’t really applicable. I gave three reasons so I wrote 5 paragraphs all together. I got 15 out of 24 which is an average score.
@@joelhour6463 Thank you so much for answering me. Wow. You got score of 180 and got 15/24...I got 13/24 and a score of 156. What was your score in the questions? I got 19/34
sorry i was under my husband account. 13/24 is an average score and 19/34 is also an average.score. i don't know why i got 156.
@@mariamtomamassoud8105 I got 31/34 on the multiple choice. Did a lot of practice on khan academy for those.
For the Praxis writing essay parts, your videos are the only source I have used. I took detailed notes of the structure and outline of the essays and passed with my first try~ Thank you so much!
This was very helpful! This will be my third time taking this exam so hopefully third time is the charm!
You can do it. We believe in you!
Hey! How did you do the third time around?
Here I am 1 year later and still haven't passed it! I was 2 points away from passing and took a different route but I decided that teaching is my passion and I want to get my certificate!
Which route
I bought the book , I watched your videos over and over and practiced as you said.. I passed. Thank you so much Ms. Jasper . All the lessons you give us teacher wannabes is invaluable. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 😊🎈
That is AWESOME. You did the work, so be proud of yourself. 🎉
I passed all three subjects of Praxis Core! Your videos and tips helped so much. Thank you 2022
Congratulations, that is fantastic. So glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching.
This is a new video just posted, but I studied through all Free videos and webinars and FB Live and Passed just this week. I took it July 3rd, 2020 at home with proctor u. I used all of this advice down to the min of time management. I used examples and I rocked that test! I rocked that essay! I practiced and used all these tips. Thank you Nava ed and KJ. I enjoyed listening to you and you made me hungry for more learning. Thank you Thank you
Wow Leslie! That’s awesome. Thank you for letting us know that you passed, and thank you for using our resources 🤓.
Hi dear... Congratulations for passing the test... Can you please help me out if I have certain questions
Congratylations dear. Can you please tell me what was your score of the essays and the questions so i can understand where is my weak point. thank you.
I just wanted to say I took the combined Praxis Core last week and was extremely nervous because I’m a bad test taker. I watched all of your Praxis Core videos which helped me so much! I ended up with a 178 Reading, 182 Math, 182 Writing. For both of my essays I have zero clue what to write about and thought I did a horrible job but followed your outline for the essays and my scores came back. It said average for the essay portion was 11-16 and I got a 19!! 3 points above average! I wouldn’t have done it without your videos I’ve never been more proud of myself! Thank you!
Well done a Hannah. Those are awesome scores! Thank you for letting me know.
Congrats! That’s amazing! Question! Did you take all 3 test In the same day or separately? Also, how long did you study for??? I have until July 31st to pass all the test and I’m shaking in my boots!
@@katherineramirez6271 I took all 3 at once (the Core option). I don’t remember exactly how long I had to study. I think I started a month to a month and a half before and I would try to study whenever I could but I had work and school. Honestly just do as many practice tests as you can through Khan Academy. It’s free snd they are partnered with each other so it was VERY similar and helpful!! I dont think I would have passed without Khan academy because I’m an awful test taker. Good luck!
@@katherineramirez6271 also I would definitely take them all together. At my school (and most likely many other schools) they super score it so if you do really good on reading but bad on math your reading pulls up your final points and it doesn’t matter what you get individually as long as you reach a certain combined score. You don’t have that option if you take it separate
@@hannahkelly61 thank you so much! I had my test on Thursday and I passed the reading with a 178, the writing I’m still waiting for the results but I followed Kathleens instructions so fingers crossed. Math I did horribly, 124, but now I can just concentrate on math. I bought the practice test on the praxis website and will be using khan academy! Next time I take the test will be the first week of July! I really wish praxis will let you take it at least once a week I hate I have to wait 28 days. But I’m happy that reading for sure I passed! Thank you again!
This really helped me so much to understand how to see the test from a test maker point of view. I’m so happy that I found this video !
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I'm taking the Praxis exam soon, I have always struggled with writing this has really helped me have a strategy to conquer this essay and hopefully pass
We're thrilled to hear that! Best of luck on your exam. You've got this 💪

Thank you so much for this lovely video. I was very nervous about the writing portion but after watching this video and pt 2 multiple times (and your other review vids) and practicing I was able to pass my praxis. 😁
Amazing!! Well done 🤓
Thank you for this video. I passed both my reading and writing praxis with your help. I will be using the math videos to retake the math, but I did better than I thought I would on that test also.
Excellent! Well done. And thank you for using our resources.
Thank you so much! I passed all three tests! This was so helpful and I felt so prepared!! Thank you again. God bless you!
Wonderful! Thank you for letting us know.
Why did I just discover this today?! I have my praxis core writing exam tomorrow 😱😭
Thank you for watching. How did your exam go?
@@KathleenJasperEdD on the multiple choice questions I ended up leaving like 4 questions unanswered. For the argumentative essay I got to the conclusion but I timed out right as I was typing the last statement. Also, I could only use one example because that’s all I had. Source based essay, I barely managed to finish briefly talking about the two passages and just about to start typing the conclusion. I don’t think I made any spelling or grammatical errors, though, and I think my body paragraphs and structures were clear enough. I just hope I get a passing score!
@@welcometojohnnysfashioneva8221 what did you end up getting??
Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation.
It's my pleasure. Thank you for watching and commenting. :)
I watched your parts on writing, practiced and studied for two weeks right up until the hour I had to leave to retake the exam. I got a 148 the first time. I just got my results back today AND I PASSED!!!! I got a 168! I am forever grateful I found this and I will be watching the Math part before my upcoming retake. You're a wonderful teacher, thank you!!
Congratulations, that is fantastic. I am glad I was able to help and thanks for watching.
Nice! I got a 152 last time, hoping The fact i finished both essays this time gave me the 162 or higher i need
wow.....very briefly and easy to follow. Thank you, very much.
It's my pleasure. Thank you so much for watching.
thank you for the tips I've been nervous about taking this test again but this video was very helpful. I will try to do a few practice runs applying these tips to get use to it.
We're so glad you found this helpful. You can do it! We believe in you :)
Love this video. Will practice with all the tips. Hope I will past the writing test.
Thank you so much for watching! Let us know how you are doing.
Your videos really helped me. I got a 182 on my writing test!

I will take the praxis core test in 10 days, and I want to let you know that I pass it, too. I have been watching your videos and they make me feel like the test is so easy. Thank you 😊
You can do it. I believe in you. Let me know how things go :)
Hello Ms. Jasper! Thank you so much for all the free tutorials you give so everybody will be ready for whatever test one should take. Because of the reviewer on ELA that I purchased last 2021, I was able to passed the ELA Praxis II exceeding the 167 passing score. Thank you so much.
That is wonderful. Well done!
@@KathleenJasperEdD I am planning to take the Basic Core Curriculum for Alaska Certification-. How can I purchase an online reviewer or ebook, please?
thank you, dr jasper, this is helpfull!
My pleasure, thanks for watching.
I have taken the praxis core once already and I failed. But after watching this video I am more than confident. Thank you !
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching.
That's really helpful. I'd definitely try this way. I think I have too many questions to ask. Hope you won't mind answering them.
Keep practicing. You can do it.
A friend told me about your videos that watched them for her praxis core writing test. Today will be my second time taking this test. I have been watching your videos multiple times. I am hoping to pass so I can enter into a teacher preparation program. I will keep you update with how I do. :)
You can do it!
Failed by 4 points my first attempt, i take it again Wednesday 🤞🏼
Good luck, you are so close. Thanks for watching.
Very helpful!!
I'm so glad. Thank you for watching :)
Thank you so much for this video. I am going to use your advices and hopefully I will pass.
You got this!
Took the test for the first time after following some of your videos, and I scored a 174. Thank you very much!
Well done! I’m thrilled you found the content helpful. 😊
How many paragraphs you had ?
@@tyonrambert7341 For each essay I had 4: intro, two body, and a conclusion
Awesome video! Why did you choose to not include a conclusion paragraph?
I failed by 6 marks, but this time I'm gonna do more essay practice
This test can be frustrating. Sometimes we take for granted how to write an essay. Practice writing everyday, even if it is just a paragraph, to make sure to fine tune your skills. Thanks for watching.
I took mine 2nd time last week , first time got a 152 need a 156. I finished all essays this time hoping it’s enough
I came across your video series the day before I took the writing section. I wish I invested time in viewing them. I have not gotten my results back, but I am not feeling good about how I did.
Thank you for posting this.
It's ok. Just try again. You can do it.
Writing is not really my strength and English is not my first language either but thanks to your video...i will follow this strategy and i hope to pass the writing test
You can do it!
Hi Azekah, i can really relate with you. I'm about to take a Praxis Test next month. I have been studying hard, like really hard for this, but for some reason, being new to America and also English is not my first language, It's making me not fully confident with the test. But, we got this. Let us know how you went with the test.
Thanks, NavaEd. I've been watching your videos. It is very helpful.
@@maryjoymondejar-ackerman8612 yea we got this! 😊
@@maryjoymondejar-ackerman8612 How did you do? I am hoping that you passed. You got this!💪🏿
When you say map the essay by writing notes down do you know if there is actually an area we can do that during the exam?
Yes, you get scratch paper. Use that to map the essay. Thanks for watching!
For the program admission test for GA GACE, do you still recommend writing in first person? Outside research says you shouldn’t and I want to take the best stance because you gave amazing feedback.
That is a good point. However, the test says to use personal examples. Therefore, using 1st person is ok. However, if you feel uncomfortable using it (I often hate using 1st person because I have been programed not to) you can use 3rd. The most important thing is to be clear, concise, and specific (use examples to support your claim). Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Does anyone on here know if you get to use any paper when you sit for the test?
Hey Chad, you get scratch paper if that's what you mean.
Hello Dr. Jasper, I have a question. In this layout you have your two main ideas in the same paragraph separated by a transition phrase. I want to do it this way instead of having separate paragraphs for the 2 main ideas because of time. Do you think the grader would take points off because the ideas don’t have their own paragraphs? Everyone keeps telling me to separate the main ideas into their own paragraphs, but it will result in me having to write more. Please help. I like the layout done in this video.
Hey Tyon, there is no paragraph requirement. Sometimes it helps people to organize details from the thesis in two different paragraphs, and sometimes it works to put them in one. It just depends. I have two different videos for this essay: 1 is 4 paragraphs with 2 separate detail paragraphs, each with it's own detail, and the other is a 3 paragraph essay with one detail paragraph with both details.
The most important thing is to keep you essay organized and support your thesis with specific details.
If you like the layout of this video, do it this way.
I need you to tutor me. I will be taking this test for the fourth time next week.
Hello @Kristy Stemle I really hope you ace it this time because I've been here before. Would advise you reach out to (spirassp . com) for help. They played a major in when I all three parts.
Is your second detailed paragraph could always be about personal experience?
It helps. That way you cover all of the elements outlined in the rubric.
Thesis antithesis synthesis
I have a question: First of all, English is not my first language. In the first paragraph, the statement said: Contrary to the belief that using technological devices in the classroom IS distracting to students,... why the verb is singular (is) if the statement says DEVICES! Sorry for my confusion but I need to know it. Thanks!
GREAT question. The subject of the sentence is "using technological devices." Just like, "Using proper grammar is important." or "Using breathing techniques is helpful." The subject is using not devices. Here is a video I did a while back about sneaky prepositional phrases that outlines this concept. ua-cam.com/video/hQfzHESWu2U/v-deo.html
@@KathleenJasperEdD I disagree.The subject of the sentence is "the belief"
The argumentative statement used plural classrooms. The thesis statement used singularly classroom, why?
It doesn't matter. You can say classroom or classrooms. The key is to worry about the things outlined in the rubric. Thanks for watching.
I took it today and got a prompt that was difficult for me, it said "Our lives are too complicated. We try to do too much and do very little well."
For me, the prompt was vague and hard to argue against. It has two arguments, the first being our lives are too complicated and the other being we do too little well.
How would you approach this?
Just pick one side or the other. Here are two examples.
Agree:
Thesis statement: Cellphones, email, and the 24-hour news cycle have made our lives too complicated.
Details: Life used to be simple: 1-hour of news, no cell phones at the dinner table, weekends were for family not emails.
Disagree:
Thesis: Our lives have become less complicated because of the technology and tools we now have as a society.
Details: Tasks that used to take forever now take only seconds to complete. For example, phone calls and other communication is quick and easy. Cooking takes min when it used to take hours.
Hope this helps. Have a good day.
@@KathleenJasperEdD I had same prompt in my exam. I thought it was too easy, and i took the opposite side. i excaclty wrote same ideas, i mentioned technologie, cellphones and emails. I also mentioned examples from my personal life. . I stated my theisis in the first paragraph. I got 13/24. My score was 156. I wrote 3 solid reasons with a clear introduction and a conclusion. I included my writing with academic vocabulary , and transitional words. In addition, i had enough time to check my spelling. Is there any way to claim my results, or to know why i did not pass? Please advise!
@@mariamtomamassoud8105 do you remember how many paragraphs you had ?
Hey Mrs. Jasper, I’m taking my writing exam in 2 weeks and was wondering should the essay be 4 or 5 paragraphs. I see in your videos you only say 4 but I just wanna be safe. Thanks
There is no paragraph requirement. I just did a webinar on the Praxis Core and got into the writing a little more. I sort of changed my approach from this video a little. Have a look at this new webinar: ua-cam.com/users/liveFZYLuKDBmMI?feature=share
The writing starts at 22:15
How do I approach a topic that I don't have any knowledge of?
You do not need any background knowledge to write these essays. For the argumentative, most subjects are pretty universal. For the source-based, the info is in the prompt.
13:07
What happens if you are not able to finish your essay in time?
Just do what you can to finish or keep typing until the clock runs out. I have had students pass and they didn't finish the conclusion paragraph. The most important thing is to focus on grammar and answering the prompt. Thanks for watching.
To think I can run for President and win of the UNITED STATES before getting qualified to teach, even after attaining my Degree. 🤔
It's as baffling as growing up in America amd failing English it's obvious we know the language yet we still fail the class. I'm a teacher know I can teach but can I pass these cooky test to prove I belong
