Sample Praxis Core Reading practice questions
Try a few representative questions below. Each includes the correct answer and a short explanation — the same style you'll see in the full practice test.
- Question 1Statistical Analysis
A seventh-grade teacher is analyzing student performance on a standardized reading comprehension test. The class average score is 75, with a standard deviation of 8. If a particular student scored 91, what is the z-score for this student's performance?
- A.2.00(Correct)
- B.1.60
- C.1.88
- D.1.75
Explanation
The z-score is calculated using the formula: z = (X - μ) / σ, where X is the individual score, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation. In this case, z = (91 - 75) / 8 = 16 / 8 = 2.00.
- Question 2Reading Comprehension Strategies
Which of the following reading comprehension strategies is most effective for helping students identify the main idea of a complex informational text?
- A.Text annotation, highlighting key terms and phrases.
- B.Previewing the text by reading headings, subheadings, and the introduction/conclusion.(Correct)
- C.Reciprocal teaching, focusing on summarizing and questioning.
- D.Activating prior knowledge by brainstorming related concepts before reading.
Explanation
Previewing the text allows students to grasp the overall structure and purpose of the text, which is crucial for identifying the main idea. While other strategies are valuable, previewing directly targets the identification of the central theme.
- Question 3Textual Analysis
A teacher is concerned about a student's difficulty in distinguishing between fact and opinion in persuasive texts. Which instructional approach would be most beneficial?
- A.Having the student underline all declarative sentences in a text.
- B.Asking the student to summarize the author's argument without regard to its factual basis.
- C.Focusing on identifying the author's tone and mood.
- D.Providing explicit instruction on signal words associated with opinions (e.g., believe, think, best) and facts (e.g., dates, statistics, research findings).(Correct)
Explanation
Explicitly teaching signal words and contrasting them with evidence-based statements directly addresses the student's need to differentiate between subjective opinions and objective facts.
