The Praxis 5903 is the math section of the Praxis 5901 Three Subjects Elementary Education test. The other sections are the 5904 (Social Studies) and 5905 (Science).
The Praxis Elementary 5903 test can be hard for prospective teachers who struggle with math. Take an online prep course with a practice test to make sure you’re ready.
Yes, students have access to an on-screen calculator while taking the Praxis 5903 math test. Don’t lean too much on the calculator, however. There’s no substitute for plenty of test prep beforehand.
Both the 5903 and 5003 are Praxis tests for elementary education math. There isn’t much difference between math content they cover, but make sure your study guide matches the correct elementary math Praxis test by checking to see which test your state requires.
I used this to study for my Praxis 5903 and passed with a perfect 200 score. I found their course very comprehensive and covered everything (and more) that was on the test. I would highly recommend if you were anything like me and it's been years since you have done any sort of elementary math and need to brush up.Rebecca Lindstrom - May 2026

The Praxis Elementary Education Three Subject Bundle (5901) covers Mathematics (5903), Social Studies (5904), and Science (5905). You may have to take this test if you’re seeking certification as an elementary generalist educator. The math subtest uses multiple-choice as well as numeric entry questions, and the topics covered are similar to what a student might see in a typical Pre-Algebra course.
