A current guide to the 130-minute Praxis 5163 exam, including selected-response and numeric-entry questions, proof, constructions, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, circles, 3D geometry, modeling, and graphing-calculator use.
Praxis Geometry 5163 tests whether candidates can reason mathematically, justify statements, construct simple proofs, model real-world situations, and connect multiple geometry representations. Preparation should combine concept review with calculator fluency and timed mixed problem sets.
Use these ETS structure points to organize Geometry preparation.
ETS lists 130 minutes and 50 selected-response and numeric-entry questions for Praxis Geometry 5163.
An on-screen graphing calculator is provided during the exam.
Plane shapes, congruence, similarity, proof, constructions, and trigonometry account for about 24 questions and 48%.
Coordinate geometry, circles, three-dimensional geometry, and modeling account for about 26 questions and 52%.
The first ETS category emphasizes geometric plane shapes, congruence, similarity, proof, constructions, and trigonometry. Study should include definitions, theorems, transformations, triangle relationships, similarity ratios, right-triangle trigonometry, and informal logical arguments.
The second category asks candidates to move between diagrams, equations, graphs, and measurements. Practice should include slope, distance, midpoint, coordinate proofs, circle equations, arcs, chords, tangents, sectors, angle relationships, and algebraic representations of geometry.
ETS provides an on-screen graphing calculator, so preparation should include calculator setup, graph viewing windows, numeric checks, intersection estimates, regression or table support when relevant, and knowing when a geometric argument is faster than computation.

Praxis Geometry 5163 assesses the mathematical knowledge and competencies needed by a beginning geometry teacher. ETS lists a 130-minute computer-delivered exam with 50 selected-response and numeric-entry questions, and an on-screen graphing calculator is provided.
HiraEdu prepares candidates around the official ETS blueprint: Properties of Geometric Plane Shapes, Congruence, Similarity, Proof, Constructions, and Trigonometry has about 24 questions and 48% of the examination, while Coordinate Geometry, Circles, Three-Dimensional Geometry, and Geometric Modeling has about 26 questions and 52%. Preparation should include proof reasoning, geometric transformations, measurement, analytic geometry, circles, solids, modeling, multiple representations, and efficient graphing-calculator workflows.
ETS lists a 130-minute testing time for Praxis Geometry 5163.
The official ETS materials list 50 questions.
ETS describes the exam as selected-response and numeric-entry questions.
Yes. ETS states that an on-screen graphing calculator is provided.
The two ETS categories are plane shapes, congruence, similarity, proof, constructions, and trigonometry at about 48%, and coordinate geometry, circles, three-dimensional geometry, and modeling at about 52%.
Allocate study time around 48% plane geometry, proof, constructions, and trigonometry, and 52% coordinate geometry, circles, 3D geometry, and modeling.
For proof and theorem questions, practice naming the property, theorem, or transformation that justifies each step.
Practice calculator workflows for graphs, tables, intersections, numeric checks, and measurement-style problems so the tool supports reasoning without consuming time.
Complete mixed geometry sets under 130-minute timing and review errors by theorem gap, diagram interpretation, algebra setup, calculator workflow, and modeling skill.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
