Don't let people who want to oversimplify and entertain mislead you. The Praxis is a difficult test- those questions don't even represent the difficulty of the CBEST. And if you want a REALLY difficult test I will post some questions from the single subject matter tests- yes I believe I WILL do that at a later time- these test your knowledge of a subject as if you were being tested at the level of a 400 college course. THOSE questions in your silly article are probably not the ones teachers miss, and they wouldn't even be ON the single subject Praxis tests that allow people to teach 9th and 12th Grade- since they do not take the multisubject Praxis- they take the Praxis specific to their degree.- Try THESE questions from the multisubject Praxis (which covers art, physical education, dance, history, social studies, biology, chemistry, physics, math, performing arts): There are 4 roads connecting Town X to Town Y and 3 other roads connecting Town Y to Town Z. Monica must drive from town S to Town Z through Town Y every day to her job. What is the greatest number of consecutive days that Monica could make the trip wihtout taking exactly the same route? a)3 b)4 c)7 d)12 All of the following are used to describe classical ballet EXCEPT: a)formal b)random c) stylized d)choreographed Which of the following locomoter movements is characterized by the back foot following the front foot? a)running b)leaping c) galloping d) sliding Motor skills are classified as "open" or closed or as being at some point on the open or closed continuum. Which of the following skills is most "open" in nature? a)bowling b)softball batting c)volleyball serving d)basketball free throwing The spectral lines from distant galaxies are shifted toward the red end of the spectrum compared to the same spectral lines of light from the sun. What is the explanation for this fact? a)Earth is at the center of the universe b)the universe is expanding c)the universe is collapsing d)the universe has a fixed size A coal burning power plant is used to generate electricity. Which of the following kinds of evergy transfers is not involved in the process? a)heat energy to mechanical energy b)light energy to electrical energy c)chemical energy to heat energy d)mechanical energy to electrical energy The most common gas in the atmosphere is a)nitrogen b)oxygen c)hydrogen d)carbon dioxide The process of wearing away of Earth or rock is called a)weathering b)errosion c)saturation d)decay The nephron hold which of the following a)acids for digestion b)urine for excretion c)hormones d)bile I have scored in the 98th or 99th percentile on every test I have ever taken- the SAT the LSAT the MSAT the RICA the GRE and I will tell you honestly the MSAT is NOT an easy test. Unfortunately teachers can get around taking it, by taking a full education selection in college. But any teacher who can take and pass the MSAT is no dummy. I am sure some of the ones who fail are dumb- but so are most of the people on SI.
