Advice for getting the most out of your Praxis Elementary Education Social Studies (5004) flashcards

These flashcards are delivered via a synchronized web/mobile experience that uses spaced repetition to optimize your study time, cutting your memorization time dramatically, while allowing you to track your progress. Just remember to…

1. Study a little bit every day

Using whatever spare 5 or 10 minutes you have throughout your day to work through your Praxis Social Studies (5004) flashcards is key to make quick progress. So, whenever you have a bit of time between classes, on the train, or while waiting for a friend, take out your Praxis 5004 Social Studies flashcards and fire off a quick 10 or 20-flashcard study round. If you can spend just 30 minutes per day drilling yourself on this content, you’ll progress so much quicker. Be consistent and keep your daily study streak alive!

2. Be stingy with the 5’s

Every time you rate your confidence in a flashcard, you tell the little gremlins that run Brainscape how frequently to show you that card again. The higher you rate a card on that scale of 1 to 5, the longer it’ll be until you’ll see it again. This is how Brainscape drills you on your weaknesses, while saving you time on the Praxis Social Studies (5004) concepts you’re confident in. Just make sure that you only rate a card a ‘5’ when you are 100% sure you’ll never, ever forget it again.

3. Take Praxis’s Elementary Education Social Studies (5004) practice test early on

One of the best ways to prepare for any test or exam is to practice answering the kind of questions you can expect to see on exam day. Thankfully, Praxis’s Elementary Education Social Studies Subtest (5004) course comes with several practice tests, which you can find here:

The first is free with registration so take that one early on in your prep so that you can go into your studies knowing what you’re studying for. Don’t expect to know the answers: you won’t because you’re not ready! Rather, this early practice will help you understand how Praxis will be testing you at the end of your course, and this will be invaluable to your preparation.
