to pass
Pick the format that fits where you are right now
Drill one half to close a specific gap. Run the full 87 question simulation when you are ready for a real exam feel. Or let the diagnostic tell you where to start.
Reading and Writing
The Reading half covers comprehension, vocabulary in context, phonics, fluency. The Writing half covers grammar, sentence revision, source credibility. All three question types show up: standard multiple choice, the multi select where you pick exactly two of five, and the grammar question where you click the underlined error.
Start R&W practice testMathematics
Numbers, operations, fractions, percentages, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. The on screen calculator runs the whole 60 minutes and includes the Transfer Display button that pastes your answer straight into the numeric entry box. Same calculator you will see on exam day.
Start Math practice testFull practice test
Both halves back to back with official timing: 51 Reading and Writing questions in 85 minutes, then 36 Math questions in 60 minutes. The closest you can get to exam day without sitting in a Prometric chair.
Start full practice testDo not get blindsided by Classroom Application questions
Roughly 1 in 3 questions on the new exam asks "As a paraprofessional, how would you help a student who...". These test teaching judgment, not content recall. They show up throughout every practice test on the site, so you are never caught off guard on exam day.
Included across all practice modesBuilt for paraeducators, not test prep companies
Every feature exists because of a real pain point: limited time, high stakes, math anxiety, and practice tests that do not match the new exam.
The actual calculator
I built the on screen calculator to match the ETS 5759 interface exactly, including the Transfer Display button that pastes results into numeric entry boxes. Exam day should not be the first time you use it.
Pass probability after every session
You see your odds of passing in the free demo, then a free account saves the trend over time. The site calculates it from your accuracy per category, weighted to match how each category shows up across the 87 questions on the real exam.
Weak area breakdown
After every session, the score card shows exactly which Reading, Writing, and Math categories cost you points. You study what matters, not everything.
Every question type you will see
Standard multiple choice with four options. Multi select where you pick exactly two of five (miss one and you lose the whole question). Numeric entry where you type the number. Grammar questions where you click the underlined error. All four show up in practice exactly like exam day.
An explanation after every question
Every question comes with a walk through of why the correct answer works and why the wrong ones do not. Written the way a teacher explains it, not the way an answer key writes it. You learn, not just check a score.

Built from scratch for the new exam, not the retiring one
Most practice sites still sell prep for the old ParaPro test. ETS retires that test on September 1, 2026. We built this for the new ETS 5757 exam that replaces it, the one paraeducators actually face from now on.

Built for ParaPathways, not the old ParaPro
Most competitors still sell prep for the ParaPro Assessment (1755), which ETS retires on September 1, 2026. Paraeducators who prepare with those tools are drilling questions from an exam that no longer exists.
Pass probability without an account, no one else does this
Teachers Test Prep shows a likelihood of passing, but only after you finish a full test AND create an account. Here, you see your pass probability free, after every session, with no login.
Classroom Application questions built in, competitors do not have them
Roughly 1 in 3 questions on the new exam asks how you would handle a situation in a classroom, not what you know. Every competitor is still drilling the old ParaPro format and none of them include these.
