Where to Find Free Praxis SLP Practice Questions (Ranked)
Free Praxis 5331 questions are everywhere and most are junk. Here are the genuinely useful free sources, ranked — and what to skip.
Cross-checked against the current ETS Praxis 5331 Speech-Language Pathology Test at a Glance and ASHA CCC-SLP standards.
Quick answer
Free Praxis 5331 practice questions come from three reliable sources: ETS's official Test at a Glance sample items, university and ASHA study resources, and Praxis Path's free question bank with rationales. Free sets are best for diagnosis; full timed mocks build pacing.
- ETS publishes official sample items in the Test at a Glance
- Free banks are best used as a diagnostic first step
- Look for rationales - answers alone teach very little
Free Praxis 5331 practice questions are everywhere — and most of them are junk. Outdated content, wrong answers, or repeated across ten different "free" sites. Here's where the genuinely useful free question sets live, ranked by quality.
1. ETS official interactive practice test (free)
ETS publishes a free interactive practice test for the 5331. It's shorter than the real exam but written by the same organization that writes the actual test. Start here. Nothing beats it for exposure to real ETS question style.
2. ASHA Praxis Prep free trial
ASHA's Praxis Prep bank is behind a paywall, but the free trial gives you a small set of real-style items. Worth an afternoon.
3. Praxis Path free practice test
Our own free Praxis practice test is a timed set of exam-style questions across all three content areas with full rationales — no signup required to start. Not a replacement for a full mock; a solid diagnostic in 20 minutes.
4. Quizlet (with a strong disclaimer)
Quizlet has hundreds of user-made 5331 decks. Some are excellent; many contain errors that will actively teach you the wrong answer. Only use decks that cite a source (a textbook, an ETS Study Companion page) for each answer. Cross-check anything that feels off.
5. Podcasts with question breakdowns
SLP Nerdcast, The Speech Source, and a few university student organizations run "Praxis question of the week" episodes. Great passive review during commutes. Not sufficient alone.
What to skip
- Any "Praxis 5331 answer dump" or leaked-question site — the questions rotate, and cheating gets your scores voided.
- Generic "teacher Praxis" question sets — the SLP exam is nothing like the Core Academic Skills tests.
- Free PDFs older than 2020 — the blueprint has shifted.
A free question every single day
If you want a no-effort daily habit, our SLP Praxis question of the day posts one new clinician-written 5331 item every morning with a full rationale. It takes two minutes and keeps content fresh between longer study blocks.
How to actually use free questions
- Do them timed. Pacing is half the exam.
- Read every rationale, including the ones you got right. Right answers by luck aren't knowledge.
- Log every miss into a running list, grouped by content area. Patterns emerge fast.
- Free questions run out. Once you've done 100–150, invest in a paid bank for volume — see our free vs. paid breakdown.
Frequently asked questions
- Where can I get free Praxis SLP practice questions?
- ETS's Test at a Glance, university SLP program review pages, and Praxis Path's free question bank with rationales for every option.
- Are free Praxis questions good enough to pass?
- They are enough to diagnose weak areas, but most candidates need a larger bank with full timed mock exams to build pacing and coverage.
- How accurate are free Praxis practice tests?
- Quality varies. Prioritize sets that cite ETS content categories and explain why each distractor is wrong.
- Does ASHA offer free Praxis practice questions?
- ASHA provides study resources and content guidance for members, but the official item samples come from ETS.
