Numbers & Operations, fractions, percentages, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. On-screen 4-function calculator — ETS 5759 spec. Scratch pad included. The only ParaPathways practice tool with the correct calculator setup.
Both subtests back-to-back with official timing — 87 questions, 145 minutes, all 4 question formats. The closest a paraeducator can get to the real ParaPathways exam without sitting in the testing center.
1 in 3 ParaPathways questions asks "As a paraprofessional, how would you help a student who..." — teaching judgment, not knowledge recall. No other practice site drills this separately. We built a dedicated Classroom Application mode so paraeducators aren't blindsided on test day.
Dedicated drill mode · Unique to ParaPathways PracticeNot sure where your gaps are?
The 20-question adaptive diagnostic identifies your weakest ParaPathways topics in under 15 minutes — then tells you exactly what to study first.
Every feature exists because of a real pain point — limited time, high stakes, math anxiety, and practice tests that don't match the real ParaPathways exam.
5 questions, 5 minutes. Study on a lunch break or between pickups. Progress auto-saves across sessions — pick up anytime on any device.
Dedicated drill for "how would you help a student who..." — the 1 in 3 ParaPathways questions that paraeducators are least prepared for.
4-function calculator for the Math subtest — ETS 5759 spec, scratch pad included. Identical to what paraeducators see on test day.
Automatically surfaces your lowest-scoring ParaPathways topics after every session — so paraeducators study what matters, not everything.
Free tier shows your pass probability from each session — calculated from accuracy per topic weighted by each topic's share of the 87 real exam questions. Paid tier tracks probability trends across sessions.
Start practicing in 10 seconds — no email, no login, no credit card. Free tier always available. Upgrade for unlimited access, full explanations, and advanced analytics when you're ready.
Every other practice site is still covering the old ParaPro exam. We built this from scratch for ETS 5757 — the exam paraeducators actually face from September 2026 onward.

Every competitor is still selling prep for the ParaPro Assessment (1755), which ETS retires on September 1, 2026. Paraeducators who prepare with those tools are drilling questions from an exam that no longer exists.
Teachers Test Prep shows a "likelihood of passing" — but only after completing a full test AND creating an account. We show session-level pass probability free with no login. Paid tier adds cross-session trend tracking.
1 in 3 ParaPathways questions test teaching judgment, not knowledge. Every competitor mixes these into their general practice pool. We built a dedicated drill mode so paraeducators can target these questions specifically.
Short, focused sets for each ParaPathways topic area — so paraeducators spend time exactly where they need it most.
