[Question] Is the Praxis Reading exam scaled or does it add "points" to the overall score?

How can we help?

Hello,

I just need some clarification. After I take a practice exam it tells me my score and then tells me how many "points" I earned. Do these points get added to that score or are they just for a fun thing for the website? I just want to make sure I am gauging accurately in preparation for the actual exam. I had originally received a 160, took the test and got a 156 which isn't too far off. I have taken two more practice exams and received a 168 and a 178 with similar amounts of wrong problems answered and just want to make sure that the practice exams are scaled like the actual test is and not accounting for these "points".

Thanks!

Hi, Kimberly!

If you're referring to your account points or what we call "energy points", those are just fun incentive points internal to Khan Academy that are related to earning badges and encouraging learners to use the site more. Those are completely unrelated to the score for a practice test.

The score that is displayed to you after a practice test is the scaled Praxis score. It works just like the actual test, so if we report a 168 score on a practice test, you would have gotten a 168 if it had been a real test.

I hope this answered your question! If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know.
