Graphical, scientificand Four-function calculators are permitted or are used in certain Practice (r) tests. If it is not specifically declared that a particular calculator is permitted in a particular exam, calculators may not be employed.

Test-takers are not permitted to use calculators with others.

Tests That Do Not Permit Use of a Calculator

In general, unless it is specifically stated that a specific type of calculator is permitted or is required for a particular test, calculators may not be used in all Practice test.

Tests That Permit the Use of a Calculator

You may use a four-function or scientific calculator for taking the Middle School: Content Knowledge (5146) test, though there is no requirement to use one. You are required to bring your own calculator to the testing center. There is no calculator available at the testing center. A graphing calculator isn't allowed during this test.

Types of CalculatorsThat Are Not Permitted

The following items are not allowed on Praxis examinations:

  • Laptops, laptops, and handheld computers
  • Electronic writing pads
  • Models with pen-input/stylus/touch-screen capability
  • Calculators are available on all phones watches, electronic devices
  • Models equipped with QWERTY along with other alphabetic keypads as part of hardware or software
  • Models with printers
  • Models that create noise or "talk"
  • Models that require an electrical outlet
  • Models with the ability to connect to internet OR have Bluetooth (r) or wireless Bluetooth (r) capability
  • Models that have a camera and scanner capability, or the capability to record/play digital audio or video

Additionally, the use of any hardware peripherals is prohibited.

Tests That Provide an On-screen Calculator

Calculators supplied by test takers aren't allowed on Praxis assessments with calculators that are on-screen.

On-Screen Scientific Calculator

This set of Praxis tests provide an on-screen scientific calculator. The tests are based on an TI-30XS MultiView(tm) calculator. A tutorial is provided so you can try out the calculator's on-screen interface prior to test day.
