The two-hour subtest gives math the larger share, but science evidence and classroom application still matter.
HiraEdu tutors help candidates prepare for Praxis Elementary Assessment: Mathematics and Science 5008 with 60/40 domain planning, numeric-entry practice, calculator-aware math, science data interpretation, and teaching-task drills.
ETS lists Praxis Elementary Assessment: Mathematics and Science 5008 as a computer-delivered 2 hour subtest with 85 questions, covering approximately 60% mathematics and 40% science.
ETS lists 2 hours for Praxis Elementary Assessment Mathematics and Science 5008.
The subtest contains 85 selected-response and numeric-entry questions.
Mathematics accounts for about 51 questions or 60%, and Science accounts for about 34 questions or 40%.
ETS notes that approximately 70% of questions in each subject area apply content to a Task of Teaching.
Mathematics carries 60% of Praxis 5008. HiraEdu plans emphasize counting, whole-number operations, place value, decimals, fractions, ratios, expressions, equations, measurement, geometry, data, and numeric-entry accuracy while still protecting enough time for science.
The science portion is grounded in standards familiar to NSTA and NGSS-aligned instruction. Candidates should practice Earth, life, and physical science through investigations, observations, graphs, diagrams, explanations, and classroom-ready models.
Because many items apply content to teaching tasks, prep should include interpreting student errors, evaluating explanations, selecting representations, choosing examples, and identifying instructional next steps from student work or classroom situations.

Yes. ETS notes that approximately 70% of questions in each subject area apply content to a Task of Teaching.
Yes. Praxis 5008 is the Mathematics and Science subtest within the Elementary Education Assessment 5006.
Verify whether the candidate needs standalone 5008 or the full Elementary Education Assessment 5006 with 5007.
Build the study calendar around approximately 60% Mathematics and 40% Science while still practicing both subjects weekly.
Use practice that asks candidates to analyze errors, select models, interpret lab evidence, evaluate student thinking, and connect content to instruction.
Simulate the 85-question subtest with calculator-aware math, numeric-entry practice, science diagrams, data interpretation, and teaching-task items.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
