Test Preparation Resources at EMU

Using practice tests for the PRAXIS is a great way to prepare for the MTTC test.  More than 30 states require aspiring teachers to pass the Praxis I – Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) as part of their teacher certification process. These materials can also help you prepare for the MTTC.

The first time you use LearningExpress, you will need to register to create an account. This just means that you provide information--it won't cost anything. The registration will give you a login for later use.  Sometimes you will have a double login process 1) login with EMU NetID from off campus 2) register or login with LearningExpress.

Note: The LearningExpress database is difficult to find your way in! The links below are designed to take you right to the specific tests--however, this doesn't always work: sometimes after you login it takes you to the main page of the database. If this happens, try clicking the link a second time.
