HOW IT WORKS

Three phases. Five engines. One declared pass.

Phase 1 — Diagnostic

Know Where You Stand

1

Create your free account

Sign up with your email. Your account is free. No credit card required.

2

Select your certification area

Choose your Maryland CTE certification area. The CTE Pathway Router automatically assigns your exact required exam stack from the 21 pathways mapped to MSDE requirements.

3

Run your baseline diagnostic

Complete 10 diagnostic questions per active exam. Your answers initialize your Exam Readiness Score across all content domains. The platform knows where your gaps are before you sit down.

4

Set your Gate dates

Enter Gate 1 (proficiency check) and Gate 2 (hard exam deadline) dates. The Mission Clock counts down to both gates, increasing urgency as deadlines approach.

Phase 2 — Daily Study

25 Minutes. One Mission. One Win.

5

Receive your daily mission briefing

Each session opens with a specific mission briefing: target domain, current ERS, objective, and time to gate. Written in command voice. Specific. No filler.

6

Answer questions from your weakest domain

The question engine prioritizes your lowest-ERS domain. Questions are weighted by how often you've gotten them wrong — maximum efficiency, minimum wasted time.

7

Trigger the OODA loop on every wrong answer

Get a question wrong? The OODA loop fires immediately. Observe the error. Orient to the concept. Decide from the micro-lesson (minimum 15 seconds). Act on 3 follow-up questions, 2/3 correct required to advance. No skip button. No dismiss. No bypass.

8

Collect your declared win

Every 25-minute session ends with a Win Report that declares a specific ERS movement: 'You moved Assessment from 61% to 74%. Gate 1 is 67 days away.' Not 'good job.' A number that moved.

Phase 3 — Declaration

PraxisPass Clears You. Then You Book.

9

Score your constructed responses (PLT only)

Submit PLT 5624 constructed responses by text or voice. Scored against the official ETS rubric (0-15) across 5 dimensions in under 10 seconds. CR scores count for 20% of your PLT ERS.

10

Pass 2 full mock simulations

Full timed mock exams simulate the real Praxis experience. You need 2 passing mocks before the Readiness Declaration triggers. Passing mock = domain breakdown shows you meeting the passing threshold.

11

Reach 90% Pass Probability Score

When your weighted PPS reaches 90% — sustained over a 7-day rolling average — and you have 2 passing mocks logged, PraxisPass fires the Readiness Declaration.

12

Book your exam at ETS

The declaration banner displays. The 'Book Your Exam' button links directly to praxis.ets.org. Select MSDE Score Recipient Code 7403 at registration. PraxisPass cleared you. Now execute.
