Numbers & Operations, fractions, percentages, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. On-screen 4-function calculator built to ETS 5759 spec. Scratch pad included. The calculator setup matches what paraeducators see on exam day.
Full practice test
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.
Don't be blindsided by Classroom Application questions
1 in 3 ParaPathways questions asks "As a paraprofessional, how would you help a student who...", testing teaching judgment, not content knowledge. These questions are woven throughout every practice test so you're never caught off guard on exam day.
Included across all practice modesParaPathways Tools Built for Paraeducators
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.

Category scores after every session show exactly which Reading, Writing, and Math areas cost you points, so you study what matters, not everything.
All 4 ETS question formats
Single-select, multi-select, numeric entry, and select-underlined, all formats appear in practice exactly as they do on the real exam. No format surprises.

Built for ParaPathways, not the old ParaPro
Most competitors still sell 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.
Pass probability without an account, no one else does this
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, after every session.
Classroom Application questions built in, competitors don't have them at all
1 in 3 ParaPathways questions test teaching judgment, not knowledge recall. Every competitor is still drilling the old ParaPro format, none of them have ParaPathways classroom application questions at all.
