Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ParaPro Assessment?

The ParaPro Assessment (also called Praxis ParaPro) is an evaluation developed by ETS that measures the skills and knowledge of prospective and practicing paraprofessionals (teacher aides and assistants). It covers three areas: Reading, Mathematics, and Writing. Many school districts require it as part of the hiring or certification process for paraprofessional positions.

How many questions are on the ParaPro Assessment?

The ParaPro Assessment contains 90 multiple-choice questions. You're given 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete all questions. The questions are split roughly equally across Reading (about 30 questions), Mathematics (about 30 questions), and Writing (about 30 questions).

What score do I need to pass the ParaPro?

Passing scores for the ParaPro vary by state and district. The score range is 420 to 480. Some states set the bar at 455, while others may accept scores as low as 450 or require scores up to 464. Check with your specific state's Department of Education or your school district for the exact passing score requirement in your area.

How much does the ParaPro Assessment cost?

The ParaPro Assessment registration fee is approximately $55 as of 2026. Some school districts cover the cost for their paraprofessional staff, so it's worth asking your employer before registering. Additional fees may apply for late registration or test center changes.

Can I use a calculator on the ParaPro Assessment?

No, calculators are NOT allowed on the ParaPro Assessment. All math questions are designed to be solved without a calculator. You'll have scratch paper for working out calculations. Practice your mental math and estimation skills -- they'll save you time on assessment day.

How should I study for the ParaPro Assessment?

Start by taking practice questions to identify your weak areas. Focus your study time on the subjects where you scored lowest. For math, practice basic operations, fractions, decimals, and percentages without a calculator. For reading, practice identifying main ideas and vocabulary in context. For writing, review grammar rules like subject-verb agreement and proper punctuation. Many people find that a focused 2-3 week study plan works well.

How often can I retake the ParaPro Assessment?

You must wait at least 21 days between attempts to retake the ParaPro Assessment. There is no limit on the total number of times you can retake it, but you'll need to pay the registration fee each time. If you didn't pass, use the time between attempts to focus on the areas where you struggled most.
