Conclusion

The Praxis II test, code 0014 for elementary Science is one part of the Praxis required for all forthcoming elementary teachers. It contains multiple choice questions and constructed response questions in the areas of general (reading, writing, and mathematics), the content and subject area (Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, History, Physical Education and Foreign Languages) and a practicum of actual classroom teaching that is mentored by a certified teacher.
Students can prepare for these test by learning how to read and interpret the questions and by paying attention to how and why he/she answer each question. A review of the content area or the general subject areas is recommended before the test. It is not necessary to try to relearn the subject areas before the test because this test is to test the student's overall acquired knowledge before teaching credentials are issued. The tests can be taken more than one, so if one does not pass the first time, one can return and retest in the area not passed.
