ETS Praxis test schedule
ETS currently lists Mathematics (5165) as a 66-question, 180-minute Praxis Subject Assessment available at home or in a test center. The official study companion weights Number & Quantity and Algebra at 30%, Functions and Calculus at 30%, Geometry at 20%, and Statistics & Probability at 20%, and states that approximately 25% of questions apply content within a task-of-teaching mathematics scenario. Passing scores are set by states or agencies rather than by ETS.
About the Praxis Math 5165 Exam
Praxis Mathematics Content Knowledge (5165) is the ETS subject assessment used by many states for secondary mathematics licensure. The current official blueprint focuses on number and quantity/algebra, functions/calculus, geometry, and statistics/probability, with about one-quarter of questions framed as task-of-teaching mathematics scenarios.

Praxis Math 5165 Exam Content Outline
Number & Quantity and Algebra
Real number structure, ratio/proportion/percent, radicals and rational exponents, units and dimensional analysis, complex numbers, equations, inequalities, systems, polynomial structure, rational expressions, and algebraic modeling.
Functions and Calculus
Function notation and representations, domain/range, transformations, polynomial/rational/exponential/logarithmic/trigonometric functions, average rate of change, and core differential and integral calculus ideas used in secondary mathematics.
Geometry
Coordinate and Euclidean geometry, similarity and congruence, circles, geometric measurement, transformations, constructions, and proof-based reasoning.
Statistics and Probability
Data displays, center and variability, correlation versus causation, normal distributions, sampling and inference, probability rules, conditional probability, and expected value.
Task of Teaching Mathematics
Instructional scenarios that require analyzing student work, diagnosing misconceptions, choosing representations, justifying reasoning, and selecting the strongest next teaching move.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on Praxis Mathematics (5165)?
ETS lists the current Praxis Mathematics test as 66 selected-response questions. The test uses more than one selected-response format, including standard single-answer items and other response styles shown in the study companion.
How much time do I get on Praxis Math 5165?
The current ETS test page and study companion list 180 minutes of testing time. Because the exam is only 66 questions, pacing is less about rushing and more about careful setup, checking work, and handling multi-step reasoning accurately.
What passing score do I need?
ETS states that Praxis passing scores are set by the state or licensing agency, not by ETS itself. Before registering, confirm the required qualifying score for Mathematics (5165) in your state or educator-preparation pathway.
What content matters most on the exam?
The official weighting is 30% Number & Quantity and Algebra, 30% Functions and Calculus, 20% Geometry, and 20% Statistics and Probability. That means the two algebra-and-functions-heavy domains deserve the largest share of your study time, but geometry and statistics/probability are still substantial portions of the exam.
Does Praxis Mathematics include teaching scenarios?
Yes. ETS says approximately 25% of the questions apply mathematics content within a task-of-teaching mathematics context. Expect items that ask you to interpret student reasoning, identify misconceptions, compare solution methods, or choose the most appropriate instructional response.
Are there any 2026 changes for Praxis Math 5165?
As of March 7, 2026, ETS still shows the same 66-question, 180-minute blueprint and daily availability in the 2025-2026 test schedule, and I did not find an official 2026 redesign notice for Mathematics (5165). ETS is launching separate Elementary Education Fundamentals tests in spring 2026, but that is a different Praxis family and does not change the current 5165 blueprint.
