Praxis Physical Education 5091 Pass Rate, Format & Study Guide

The ETS test page lists the test at 120 selected-response questions in two hours, computer delivered, and says you can test at home (online) or at a test center; some questions may not count toward your score. ETS lists a test fee of $130 and links to a Passing Scores by State page rather than setting one national passing score. The Praxis Study Companion for 5091 divides the test into four content categories: Content Knowledge and Student Growth and Development 30 percent, Management, Motivation, and Communication 25, Planning, Instruction, and Student Assessment 25 and Collaboration, Reflection, and Technology 20.

Many states require a passing Praxis score as part of licensing physical education teachers; the score you need depends on your state.

The certifying body does not publicly publish an official pass rate for this exam. Be wary of third-party sites citing a specific number here — treat any pass-rate claim you see elsewhere for this exam as unverified.

The ETS test page does not describe retake limits; ETS publishes its retake policy on its website, and your state may add its own rules, so confirm both before you rebook.

ETS does not set one national passing score for the 5091: each state or licensing agency sets its own, and ETS publishes them on its Passing Scores by State page. The portal mock shows a percent score only as a rough self-check, so look up your own state score. Format: 120 selected-response questions in two hours; the portal mock has 120 questions in 120 minutes, the same size and pace. No official pass rate is available for this exam, so none is quoted here.
