The ParaPro Assessment measures the skills and knowledge in reading, writing and math possessed by prospective paraprofessionals. It also measures their ability to apply those skills and knowledge when assisting in classroom instruction. By providing test practice, learners are exposed to questions that align with real test questions. They are then provided a prescription of PLATO® Learning’s rigorous online curriculum to fill learning gaps, resulting in improved real test success. These prescriptive and practice tests were developed by ETS (Educational Testing Services) in:

• Reading
• Writing (Multiple Choice and 1 Essay Item for PPST-Praxis I / no essay item for ParaPro)
• Mathematics

PLATO simulated tests provide an experience that is closely related to the actual test experience because Education Testing Systems developed the content/test.
