Most teachers take the Praxis I or the Praxis II and a subject test. The Praxis I is a college entry level test--it is the one I took. The math contained 3-4 step word problems, geometric formulas for area, perimeter, volume, etc, several questions about angles of all kinds, several 2 step equations, some 3 and a smattering of 4 step -- I would say no more than 3 of the latter. I don't remember any trig functions and certainly no calc. What level math would that equal?

However, I say all that with one caveat. A friend of mine was taking the test next to me (we were on computers) and she said her test contained NO geometry in the least, no multi-step equations, but tons and tons of word problems and some 4 function math. The test administrator told us that the computer produces a different test for each taker and it sounded like I got a harder one and she got an easier one. Luck of the draw I guess.

Praxis II is a test I know nothing about, didn't have to take it.

The Praxis is given in what state(s)?
Did you score higher than your friend [since yours was harder]? The reason that I ask is this: The computerized GRE bases what questions you will be asked on the rest of the test on how well you answer the first 10 questions of the test. Get those right, and you get more difficult questions [and a higher score, I believe].
