How this deck compares

Quizlet dumps own volume. UniPrep wins when you want a timed 60Q SpEd diagnostic (free 25-question version) plus a planned Anki waitlist — not a 120-item 5355 substitute.

Praxis Special Education study guide

What is inside

Planned **60** flashcards across development, IEP planning, assessment, and IDEA/504 foundations — the same four buckets as the free readiness check. Built for **Praxis Special Education**, not Praxis Core.

Plan with the free Praxis Special Education mock (live now)

**Start:** Take the [60-question Praxis Special Education readiness check (free 25-question version)](/mock-exams/praxis-special-education-readiness-check) (75 minutes / 70% diagnostic). **Then:** Confirm your state code (often 5355). **When Anki ships:** 15–20 cards/day on the weakest topic row only.

Typical 5355: **120 questions / 2 hours**. Our mock is shorter.

Pitfalls this deck targets (when live)

Candidates confuse 504 with IEP, treat accommodations as modifications, or sit Praxis Core banks for SpEd content.

What this does not replace

ETS registration. Anki is **planned**. Independent prep — not ETS material.
