ParaPro Test

The ParaPro test is a challenging and comprehensive assessment for men and women who wish to become teacher aides and assistants. The exam was developed after the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act, which mandated that paraprofessionals have a base level of knowledge and teaching ability. The test measures general aptitude in reading, writing, and math.

The ParaPro test is divided into six content areas: reading skills and knowledge (18 questions, 20 percent of the examination); application of reading skills and knowledge to classroom instruction (12 questions, 13 percent); mathematics skills and knowledge (18 questions, 20 percent); application of mathematics skills and knowledge to classroom instruction (12 questions, 13 percent); writing skills and knowledge (18 questions, 20 percent); and the application of writing skills and knowledge to classroom instruction (12 questions, 13 percent). About two-thirds of the questions on the test have to do with basic skills and knowledge; the rest of the questions center on the application of this knowledge and instruction.

The test is delivered in both paper and computer versions and takes about two-and-a-half hours to complete. The minimum passing score for the ParaPro test depends upon the state or district. Those who take the computer-based version of the exam will receive their scores immediately upon completion; those who take the paper-based version of the exam will receive their scores about four weeks after the exam.
