Praxis® ParaPathways Assessment

Your Path to Becoming a Certified Paraprofessional — Simplified

The Praxis ParaPathways Assessment (Test Code 5757) is the new standard paraeducator exam created by Educational Testing Service (ETS) to evaluate the essential skills needed for paraprofessionals in today’s classrooms. It replaces the older ParaPro test with a more modern, relevant, flexible format that matches how paraprofessionals actually work and support students.

ParaPathways is widely accepted by states and school districts as a valid certification benchmark — meaning passing this test can be required for employment, advancement, or to meet Title I paraprofessional standards.

Who Takes the ParaPathways?

Aspiring paraprofessionals entering education
Substitute teachers transitioning into support roles
Career changers passionate about helping students
Current staff needing official certification or a credential update

If you’ve been told “You have to pass a test to be hired or stay qualified,” this is the one.

The ParaPathways (5757) Study Companion from ETS is the primary, official resource for the new ParaPro replacement exam. It covers two subtests: Reading and Writing (5758) and Mathematics (5759), focusing on applying classroom support skills. The test, which is replacing the 1755 exam by late 2026, emphasizes practical application for paraprofessionals.
