Praxis Results
In 2009-10, the department
discovered that the student’s scoresheet for the Praxis has a second page which
gives how they did on various test categories.
This information was gathered back to 2006 (as far back as it could be
obtained).
Using the data from the fourteen most recent test scores (two students took the
test twice to achieve a passing score), we can summarize the data below.
The number in
each “level” (below the average performance range, at the low end of the
average performance range, in the average performance range, at the high end of
the average performance range, or above the average performance range) is
plotted for each of the five content area tested.
The middle 50% of the group taking the exam nationwide forms the average
performance range.
Similar
data is available for those taking the Middle School math Praxis exam. These students take less math (21 hours
rather than 37 for the major), but their topics are different. Their results for the most recent eleven
students (goes back to exams in 2007) are below.
