The Devil called PRAXIS

I wish I could help! I took the Sped Cross Cat test for Arizona in November and passed. If the PRAXIS is anything like our test I could totally try to give you an idea what to study for.

If the test are similar in any sense, I was asked questions on IEP's, MIMR, MOMR, SMR, OHI, SLD, SLI (just a few questions), TBI; then had an essay.

My best suggestion is think what the government would want you to answer not what the school district or state would want you to answer. Sped is surrounded by so many federal laws and they totally trump what the district or state "wants". That is how I answered the questions. If I was stumped I'd think "which one would the government want me to do, say, think"
