Praxis Gifted Education (5358)

Praxis Gifted Education (5358) is a Praxis Subject Assessment developed and administered by ETS. It measures whether an entry-level educator has the knowledge needed to serve gifted students from early childhood through adolescence. Each state or licensing agency that uses the test sets its own passing score.

• Single best answer: a direct question or an incomplete statement with four choices
• Scenario questions: a student profile, classroom, identification-team or parent situation followed by the BEST or FIRST action
• Data questions: reading a score report, percentile, stanine or standard error of measurement and deciding what it means for placement or instruction
• Interactive items: you may be asked to select more than one answer; every required choice must be correct to earn credit

Your raw score (the number of scored questions answered correctly) is converted to a scaled score on the Praxis 100–200 scale. There is no single national passing score: each state or licensing agency sets its own qualifying score for 5358. Look up your state's requirement on the ETS Praxis state requirements page before you register.

• Register through your ETS Praxis account and choose a test center or at-home appointment
• Bring (or show, at home) acceptable, current government-issued photo ID that matches your registration name exactly
• At-home testing requires a private room, a compatible computer with a webcam and a check of your workspace by the proctor
• The 5358 test page does not state a calculator policy or retake waiting period; check the current ETS policies before test day
• Accommodations, score-reporting dates and test-day rules are posted on the official ETS Praxis website
