ParaPro Practice Test
Updated for August 2026The ParaPro Assessment is an ETS exam that tests the reading, writing and math skills of prospective and practicing paraprofessionals. It was developed to satisfy certification requirements for teaching assistants established by federal law. The test is computer-delivered and consists of 90 selected-response (multiple-choice) questions. Candidates are allowed 2.5 hours to take the assessment. The exam may include some pilot test questions that are unscored, and the use of a calculator is not permitted. Candidates with disabilities or health-related needs are encouraged to contact ETS for more information on accommodations. Try our Praxis Practice Test. Try our FTCE Practice Test.
Passing scores are determined by state requirements, and vary from state to state. To learn more about the minimum passing score in your state, check with your school district or visit the ETS ParaPro website. To ensure you’re ready for the test, Mometrix has created a comprehensive study guide and practice question book to help you succeed.
