See plansEvery session feeds the engine — it learns what you miss and rebuilds your next session around it.
Answer questions and the bank quietly rebalances — your weakest content areas get more reps, automatically, after every single session.
How adaptive practice works
Daily quizzes, assigned practice sets, and a streak that keeps you honest between grad classes and clinic placements.
Three full-length timed mocks with a countdown clock, a question palette, and flagging — the same rhythm as test day.
One readiness score, a week-by-week trend, and per-area accuracy — so "am I ready?" stops being a feeling.
Highlight inside any explanation and save it as a note. Every note stays linked to the question it came from.
The norms, milestones, and classification systems the Praxis expects on reflex — tagged by practice area.
Late Talker Criteria
At 24 months: under 50 words and/or no two-word combinations, with typical hearing, cognition, and receptive language. A delay, not yet a diagnosis.
Early Lexical Milestones
First words around 12 months; a ~50-word expressive vocabulary plus first two-word combinations by 18–24 months.
Brown's Earliest Morpheme
Present progressive -ing (without auxiliary) emerges first, around 19–28 months — before plurals, possessives, articles, and past tense.
WAB Aphasia Quotient
The WAB AQ (0–100) grades severity from spontaneous speech, comprehension, repetition, and naming. Below 93.8 indicates aphasia.
Broca's Area
Left inferior frontal gyrus (Brodmann 44/45), fed by the superior division of the left middle cerebral artery.
Wernicke's Area
Posterior superior temporal gyrus (Brodmann 22), inferior division of the left MCA. Motor programming is intact, so output stays fluent but empty.
Penetration vs Aspiration
Penetration: material enters the laryngeal vestibule but stays at or above the true vocal folds. Aspiration: it passes below the folds into the trachea.
IDDSI Framework
8 levels (0–7). Drinks run 0–4 (Thin to Extremely Thick); foods run 3–7 (Liquidised to Regular). Levels 3–4 overlap drinks and foods.
3-oz Water Swallow Test
Screening: drink 90 mL uninterrupted. Coughing, choking, or a wet-hoarse voice within a minute is a fail — flagging aspiration risk for instrumental study.
Stuttering Onset Age
Developmental stuttering begins between about 2 and 5 years, most commonly near 3. Onset after 8–9 suggests a neurogenic or psychogenic cause.
Preschool Recovery Rate
Roughly 75–80% of preschool children who stutter recover, most within 1–2 years of onset — why risk factors drive treat-now vs monitor.
Intelligibility by Age
To unfamiliar listeners: about 50% at age 2, 75% at age 3, near 100% at age 4. A 3-year-old under 75% warrants concern.
PCC Severity Bands
Percentage of Consonants Correct: above 85% mild, 65–85% mild-moderate, 50–65% moderate-severe, below 50% severe — from connected speech.
Degrees of Hearing Loss
Normal −10 to 15 dB HL; slight 16–25; mild 26–40; moderate 41–55; moderately severe 56–70; severe 71–90; profound 91+.
EHDI 1-3-6 Benchmarks
Hearing screened by 1 month, diagnosed by 3 months, early intervention by 6 months — tied to markedly better language outcomes.
Nodules vs Polyps
Nodules: bilateral, at the anterior 1/3–posterior 2/3 junction, from phonotrauma — voice therapy first. Polyps: unilateral, fluid-filled, often surgical.
Sixteen cards from the live deck, lightly compressed to fit the card face. Every card in the product carries the full detail.

Everything you need to know about SLP Praxis prep.
The Speech-Language Pathology Praxis (test code 5331) is 132 selected-response questions in 150 minutes, delivered on computer — at a test center or at home with online proctoring. Content splits evenly across three categories: Foundations & Professional Practice, Screening/Assessment/Evaluation/Diagnosis, and Planning/Implementation/Evaluation of Treatment, spanning the Big Nine practice areas.
Scores are reported on a 100–200 scale. ASHA requires 162 for CCC-SLP certification, and state licensure boards set their own passing scores — most reference the same exam. To count toward certification, have ETS send scores directly to ASHA (recipient code 5031).
Per ASHA’s national summary, the 2024–25 pass rate across all examinees was 83.0% with a mean score of 172 — meaning roughly 1 in 6 attempts falls short. The most common failure mode is treating it as a memorization test: the exam leans on applied clinical judgment, which is exactly what vignette-based practice builds.
ASHA recommends taking it no earlier than the completion of your graduate coursework and clinical practicum, or during your Clinical Fellowship. Note the certification clock: scores older than 5 years are not accepted, and you have 2 years from your certification application to complete all requirements.
ETS requires a 28-day wait before rescheduling the same test. Because the exam weights all three categories equally, our per-area analytics pinpoint which of the twelve practice areas cost you the most points — so a retake plan targets the actual gaps.
No. PrepSolution is an independent study resource. Praxis is a trademark of ETS, and CCC-SLP is a certification of ASHA. Every question here is original — written to ASHA scope of practice and evidence-based norms, never reproduced from any exam.
The SLP Praxis Complete Pass System is built as a complete prep path: 1,181 practice questions aligned to the Praxis 5331 blueprint, each with a written rationale, plus 3 full-length mock exams. Every question is written and reviewed by credentialed professionals who hold the CCC-SLP, and Complete Pass System plans carry the pass guarantee: finish the study plan and mocks, and if you don’t pass, your access is extended free.
Candidates usually weigh PrepSolution against TrueLearn, TherapyEd, ETS practice tests. PrepSolution’s approach: every question is written by credentialed CCC-SLP holders, every answer includes a full rationale, plans are one-time payments rather than subscriptions, and the Complete Pass System includes the pass guarantee. When comparing, check question counts, which formats are included at each price, and access length.
You’ll receive an email with your login credentials within 5 minutes of purchase. If you don’t see it, check your spam folder or contact support@prepsolution.com.
No. Every plan is a one-time payment. You pay once and get access for the full length of the plan you choose — 3, 6, or 12 months. There are no recurring charges, no auto-renewals, and no hidden fees.
If you complete the study plan, take all three mock exams, and don’t pass, we extend your plan free for the same length you bought — a 3-month plan gets 3 more months, a 6-month plan gets 6, a 12-month plan gets 12. This guarantee is included exclusively with the Complete Pass System.
Yes. If you purchase and decide it’s not the right fit within 24 hours, contact support@prepsolution.com and we’ll process a full refund. No questions asked.
No. PrepSolution is an independent exam preparation company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SHRM, PMI, AACN, or any certification body. Our content is developed based on publicly available exam blueprints and content outlines.
Many candidates come to PrepSolution after a failed first attempt. The most common reason for failure is approaching judgment-based questions with workplace instinct rather than a systematic framework. Start with a diagnostic mock exam to identify your weakest domains, then follow the targeted study plan.
Many employers cover professional development costs including exam prep materials. After purchase, you’ll receive a receipt that can be submitted for reimbursement. Contact support@prepsolution.com if you need a customized invoice.
