Note: The Praxis 5161 was recently replaced by the 5165 exam. We do not currently offer prep for the new exam but hope to have a program available in the Summer. Our 5161 program covers the same domains as 5165, as well as Discrete Mathematics, which is not included in the new exam. There are some differences to content within the domains; however, the 5161 program may still assist students preparing for Praxis 5165.
