How I Passed EVERY Praxis Exam on My FIRST Try (And You Can Too)

If you're preparing for the Praxis exams and feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. In this video, I break down the exact system I used to pass every Praxis exam on my first try, and I’m not a naturally strong test taker. I deal with test anxiety, overthinking, and second-guessing… so this isn’t about being “smart,” it’s about having a plan. For Elementary Education in Virginia, I took multiple subtests (5002, 5003, 5004, 5005, and 5205), and instead of trying to study everything, I focused on a strategy that actually worked. In this video, I cover: How I decided to take the subtests (together vs separately) My exact scheduling strategy (and why I booked everything upfront) The study system I used to stay focused and avoid burnout How I used practice tests the right way Why understanding categories helped me improve faster The resources I used to prepare This is not a test-by-test breakdown; that’s coming in future videos. This is the foundation. The system. The approach that gave me the best chance to pass the first time. If you're serious about passing the Praxis, start here.
