Praxis Core Math (5733) Practice Test — Adaptive Prep
Targeted, adaptive preparation for the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators Mathematics exam (5733). 310 calibrated questions across all 4 ETS content categories, IRT placement, and a 7-day satisfaction refund guarantee on the Pass Guarantee.
About the Praxis Core Math (5733)
The Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators Mathematics exam (test code 5733) is required for admission to most teacher preparation programs across the United States. It tests high school-level mathematics — no calculus, no advanced number theory — at a depth that ensures incoming teacher candidates can confidently explain the mathematics they will teach.
The exam has 56 selected-response questions and a 1 hour 25 minute time limit. An on-screen four-function calculator is provided by ETS. Passing score requirements vary by state — most states set the cut score between 150 and 162 on a 100–200 scale.
| Exam | Who takes it | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Praxis Core 5733 ← you are here | All teacher candidates (admission requirement) | High school math |
| Praxis 5165 | Secondary math specialists | Calculus, stats, number theory |
ETS content categories
How adaptive prep is different
Most Praxis Core Math prep consists of a practice book and a few timed drills. You work through all four categories in order, wasting time on what you already know and rushing past what you don’t. The most common failure pattern: strong number sense, weak multi-step algebra.
QuantegyAI uses Item Response Theory to estimate your ability on each of the 4 ETS categories independently. The Quick Diagnostic takes 12 questions to find your initial gaps and start your readiness estimate. Calibration continues as you practise, so the estimate becomes increasingly precise and the study plan keeps targeting the work with the greatest score impact.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Praxis Core Math (5733)?
56 selected-response questions, 1 hour 25 minute time limit. An on-screen four-function calculator is provided.
What is the passing score?
Passing scores vary by state. Most states set the cut score between 150 and 162 on a 100–200 scale. Check your state’s educator licensure requirements for the exact number.
How is the 5733 different from the Praxis Math 5165?
The 5733 is a general academic skills test for all teacher candidates — it tests high school math and is a prerequisite for entering a teacher prep program. The 5165 is a content knowledge exam for mathematics specialists certifying to teach secondary math. The 5165 is significantly more advanced, covering calculus, statistics, and number theory.
Is the Praxis Core Math hard?
For candidates who are comfortable with high school algebra and geometry, it is manageable with focused prep. The most common stumbling blocks are multi-step algebra problems and reading statistical graphs accurately. Our adaptive engine pinpoints exactly which of the four categories is pulling your score down.
How long should I prepare?
Most candidates need 2–4 weeks of focused adaptive practice (4–5 sessions per week, 30 minutes each). The free placement test gives you a calibrated gap analysis on day one.
Can I use a calculator?
Yes. ETS provides an on-screen four-function calculator during the real exam. QuantegyAI’s practice environment includes the same tool so you train exactly as you’ll test.
