Turn your study time into focused preparation

The TExES Mathematics 7-12 covers a broad range of mathematical content and teaching knowledge — but every candidate starts from a different place. You may already be confident in some domains while needing significantly more preparation in others. QuantegyAI identifies those differences before you decide where to spend your study time.

What the TExES 235 covers

The TExES Math 7-12 (235) is a computer-administered, 100-question exam. You have five hours, but most test-takers finish in roughly three and a half. The exam is organized into six competency-aligned domains set by the Texas Education Agency and reviewed by Texas Educator Certification Examination Program.

TEA competency domains

D1Number Concepts
Real and complex number systems, number theory, and the structure of mathematical reasoning.
D2Patterns and Algebra
Functions, linear and quadratic relations, exponential and logarithmic models, sequences and series, and calculus foundations.
D3Geometry and Measurement
Euclidean and coordinate geometry, transformations, trigonometry, and measurement systems.
D4Probability and Statistics
Data representation, measures of center and spread, probability models, and inferential reasoning.
D5Mathematical Processes and Perspectives
Mathematical reasoning, problem-solving heuristics, discrete mathematics, and the connections among mathematical strands.
D6Mathematical Learning, Instruction, and Assessment
Pedagogical content knowledge: how secondary students learn mathematics, common misconceptions, and assessment design.

The passing standard is set by the State Board for Educator Certification. As of the current administration, the passing scaled score is 240 on a 100–300 scale, which corresponds to roughly 60% raw correct.

Looking for a TExES Math 7-12 study guide?

A study guide can tell you what mathematics content you should know — our complete domain breakdown covers all six TEA domains. But it can’t tell you which parts you need to spend the most time on. Start by answering one important question: what do you actually need to study? The free Quick Diagnostic takes 12 questions to find your initial gaps and start your readiness estimate. Calibration continues as you practise, so QuantegyAI keeps refining the estimate and adapting your preparation around your individual gaps.

How adaptive prep is different

The standard TExES 235 review approach — a 500-page study guide plus a static question bank — treats every test-taker identically. You re-do material you already know, and you still hit the exam surprised by topics you skimmed. The result is the long average prep cycle (3–5 months) most candidates report, and the roughly 40% first-attempt fail rate the TEA publishes.

QuantegyAI uses Item Response Theory — the same statistical model the real exam vendors use — to estimate your skill on each of the six TEA domains independently. Every answer updates the model. The next question is drawn from your upper bound of mastery: just hard enough to confirm or revise the estimate. 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 your personalized study plan keeps adapting.

How QuantegyAI finds your missing points

Built by a mathematics professor

QuantegyAI was built by Dr. Mienie Roberts, a mathematics professor and an active reviewer for the Texas Instructional Materials Review and Approval (IMRA) process. The question bank, the adaptive engine, and every review widget are built in-house — not licensed from a third-party generator. Dr. Mienie has a 100% pass rate among the students she has personally tutored over the past 5 years.1 The idea behind QuantegyAI is simple: understand what you know, identify what you don’t, and focus on what comes next.

1. Pass rate refers to certification-exam outcomes for students Dr. Mienie Roberts personally tutored during the past 5 years. Documented evidence is kept on file and available to institutional and procurement reviewers on request.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same exam as the older TExES Math 7-12 (135)?

No. The 135 was retired in 2018 and replaced by the 235, which has updated competency descriptors and a larger pedagogy domain. Our question bank targets the current 235 framework.

How long should I prepare?

For test-takers coming directly out of an undergraduate math major, 6–10 weeks of consistent adaptive practice (3–5 sessions per week, 30–45 minutes each) is typical. The placement test on day one gives you a calibrated estimate of how many points you're short of passing.

Does QuantegyAI include TExES 235 calculator practice?

Yes. The calculator practice lane trains TI-84-style graphing, tables, one-variable statistics, regression, and trig-mode habits aligned to the official TExES 235 approved graphing calculator policy.

Does QuantegyAI also cover the supplemental Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities (PPR) exam?

No. The 235 only assesses mathematics content and pedagogical content knowledge — not the general PPR. We focus on what we do well.

Can I take the placement test before I buy?

Yes. The placement test is free and gives you a calibrated estimate of your current ability on every TEA domain, plus a recommended prep length. You only pay when you're ready to close the gaps and start gaining points.
