what materials should i use to study for the praxis?

9/16/2021

 
TLDR: avoid spending too much time doing practice questions... that's a backwards approach. You first have to study, and be sure to use active studying! (More on that in my courses!)

Organizing your materials is one of the first steps when preparing for the praxis. Using different types of materials will make studying interactive and engaging, and you'll better remember the information. 

Here are some materials that I recommend incorporating into your studying:


  • SLP Praxis Test Prep Online Courses - If you want the info neatly organized and bundled and a kickstart of motivation to guide you, check out my online courses, which include readings, narration, tutorials, videos, some practice questions, guidance on how to use test-taking strategies, downloads, guided notesheets and memory aids. Phew! I know that was alot, and that's because so much research and work is behind the development of the courses. Some of them have free previews, so be sure to check it out. 
  • Live Tutoring Sessions - Look for a SLP tutor! You can ask about my live 1:1 sessions where we go further into your specific breakdowns, answer your questions, explain and discuss concepts in depth. These sessions can be really helpful if you're an auditory learner and learn from hearing things explained. Having sessions on the calendar also gives a boost of accountability! 
  • Flashcards - I highly recommend making them yourself, because you will remember the information better when you hand write it... it's a proven fact. 
  • Visuals & charts - diagrams, too! Any kind of visual representation of the information will cater to visual learning abilities. Take time to recreate these yourself...even if it's a much simpler, unpolished version... just scribble it down already!
  • Books & notes from your graduate courses and clinical experiences, including any textbooks or review books
  • Videos - a highly interactive way to review information and better conceptualize the concepts. 
  • A friend - someone you can explain concepts to, think out loud with and another brain to bounce ideas off... especially if you're an audio learner (warning: don't get off topic during study groups! It's tempting)
  • Quizlet - an interactive website for flashcards, search SLP praxis and a bunch will come up. Caution though about constantly doing questions and testing yourself... be sure to balance flashcards with studying.  More time studying, less time doing questions. 
  • Practice quizzes & tests - these are good to familiarize with the format of questions and answers and learn how to work through them. Practice your timing and ability to pick the right answer. But if you're getting several questions wrong, you need to change up your approach. Less time doing questions, more time studying.
