PRAXIS

by KAY

Nov 30, 2008

11/29/2008 I am sure that the ETS is out to make money. I have taken the Reading I and Math I several times; sometimes the same test and miss the test by 3-4 points. My thing is, I am P- 4 why would I need such high level of math and such silly reading questions? The test doesn't measure anything in education...It is time that ETS is made to gear t...See More
