Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators, administered by ETS, is required by many teacher preparation programs and state certification boards as a prerequisite. It has 3 subtests: Reading (5713), Writing (5723), and Mathematics (5733), which can be taken together or separately.
Because Reading and Math each break down into 3 roughly-equal content categories, and Writing's gradable portion focuses specifically on usage and research skills rather than general grammar trivia, practicing in these real proportions builds familiarity with exactly where the exam spends its time.

Study Guide
About the real test
Praxis Core has 3 subtests: Reading (56 Q, roughly even thirds across Key Ideas, Craft/Structure, and Integration), Writing (grammar/usage/research plus 2 essays), and Math (56 Q, roughly even thirds across Number/Quantity, Data/Statistics, and Algebra/Geometry).
Reading and Math both split into 3 nearly-equal parts
Don't over-focus on one sub-area in Reading or Math. All 3 categories in each subtest carry roughly equal weight (30-36% each).
Writing's selected-response questions test usage, not creativity
The gradable Writing questions focus on grammar, sentence correction, and research skills, distinct from the essay-writing task itself.
Know your test codes if registering separately
Reading is 5713, Writing is 5723, Math is 5733. Some states only require specific subtests, not all three.
