The ETS Study Companion lists 2 hours for Praxis Economics 5911.
ETS lists 110 selected-response questions.
Microeconomics is the largest category at 49 questions, or about 45% of the exam.
Fundamental Economic Concepts accounts for about 20%, and Macroeconomics accounts for about 35%.
Praxis 5911 is organized around Fundamental Economic Concepts, Microeconomics, and Macroeconomics. HiraEdu plans use those weights to keep the largest microeconomics category from being underprepared while still protecting the fundamentals and macro policy sections.
The 45% microeconomics domain includes supply and demand, market equilibrium, elasticity, consumer and producer surplus, taxes and subsidies, cost curves, product markets, labor markets, market structures, externalities, public goods, and government regulation. Candidates should practice shifting curves and interpreting graphs quickly.
The macroeconomics domain expects candidates to handle national income accounting, aggregate demand and supply, unemployment, inflation, money, banking, monetary policy, fiscal policy, trade, exchange rates, and growth. Prep should link definitions to graphs, policy effects, and classroom-ready examples.
