What does the ParaPro Assessment cover?

The ParaPro Assessment is a computer delivered exam consisting of 90 selected-response (multiple-choice) questions divided into three different content areas: reading, mathematics, and writing. You will be allotted 2.5 hours to take the test in its entirety. Although basic content knowledge will be assessed, about one-third of the questions in each section of the ParaPro Assessment cover the application of basic knowledge and skills in the classroom. Please make note that calculators are not permitted during the mathematics portion of the exam. Additionally, the test may contain pilot test questions that are unscored; however, you will not be able to tell the difference between scored and unscored questions, so make sure to answer each question to the best of your ability.
