Parapro Exam

The ParaPro Assessment measures the reading, writing and basic math competencies of practicing and prospective paraprofessionals.

The ParaPro Assessment is a general aptitude test that offers certification for paraprofessionals. It also offers an objective assessment of a prospective teacher’s requisite foundation of knowledge and skills and the ability to effectively use those skills in the classroom.
The ParaPro CBT consists of 90 multiple choice questions. You are allowed 2 ½ hours to complete this test.
