The short answer
240 Tutoring is one of the more widely used Praxis prep platforms, with 80+ Praxis-specific study guides covering Core, Elementary Education, Subject Assessments, the PLT, and more — all on a single $49.99-a-month subscription. For most Praxis candidates, it's worth the money if your exam is at least two weeks out and you'll actually use it. The reason is the math: a single Praxis attempt runs $64 to $209 depending on the test, so if one month of 240 saves you one retake, you're already ahead.
It isn't the right tool for everyone. If your exam is in three days, no study guide closes that gap. If you're already scoring above passing on practice tests, you may not need a subscription at all. The free Praxis practice test is the fastest way to see where you actually stand before spending anything.
Bottom Line:
For most Praxis candidates, 240 Tutoring is worth $49.99/month because one month of prep usually costs less than one exam retake — but only if your exam is at least two weeks away and you'll actually use it.
Which Praxis exams 240 Tutoring covers
240 was built for teacher certification specifically, and the Praxis catalog is one of its largest. A single Praxis subscription gives you access to every Praxis guide in the series — so if you're studying for more than one Praxis test, you're not paying twice. The catalog includes 80+ guides across:
- Praxis Core Academic Skills — Reading (5713), Writing (5723), Math (5733), and the combined test (5752)
- Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects — the 5001 and its 5002/5003/5004/5005 subtests
- Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) — Early Childhood, K–6, 5–9, and 7–12
- Subject Assessments / Content Knowledge — English (5038), Mathematics (5165), Social Studies (5081), the sciences (Biology 5236, Chemistry 5246), Music, and dozens more
- Early Childhood Education (5025)
- Special Education (including Foundational Knowledge 5355)
- Teaching Reading (5205)
- World Languages (Spanish, 5195), English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL 5362), the arts, and ParaPro / ParaPathways
If your specific Praxis test isn't on the list, check the catalog before subscribing — 240 covers most Praxis tests, but not every endorsement in every state.
What you actually get for Praxis prep
Every Praxis guide is built around the same structure:
- A diagnostic practice test that builds a study plan around your weakest content categories
- Text lessons mapped to the official ETS test framework
- Dynamic quizzes that adjust to the questions you're missing
- 1,000+ practice questions per guide
- Three full-length, timed practice tests that mirror real exam conditions
- Constructed-response practice for the Praxis tests that include written sections
- Flashcards and test-taking strategies inside every guide
The part most Praxis passers point to isn't the lessons — it's the diagnostic plus the three full-length practice tests. A common note in reviews is that 240's Praxis questions feel harder than the real exam, which is the point: if you can clear 240's practice tests, the actual Praxis tends to feel manageable. More on what test-takers say below.
The math, for the Praxis specifically
One month of 240 Tutoring is $49.99. One Praxis attempt costs more than that for almost every test:
| Praxis test | Cost (2025–26 testing year, ets.org) |
|---|---|
| Core — single test (Reading, Writing, or Math) | $90 |
| Core — combined (5752) | $150 |
| Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects — full test | $180 |
| Elementary Education — single subtest | $64 |
| Subject Assessments — selected-response | $130 |
| Subject Assessments — with constructed response (incl. PLT) | $156 |
| World Languages (Spanish, 5195) | $170 |
| Elementary Education: Content Knowledge for Teaching (7811) | $209 |
Across the board, the arithmetic is the same: if 240 saves you a single Praxis retake, it has paid for itself — before you count the weeks of delay and the stress of sitting the test again.

Bottom Line:
One month of 240 Tutoring is $49.99. One Praxis retake costs $64 to $209. If 240 saves you a single retake, it pays for itself.
A free Praxis practice test gives you a real starting point — and tells you which content areas need the most work.
When 240 Tutoring is a good fit for the Praxis
Honest signals that it's the right tool for you:
- You have two to twelve weeks before your Praxis date. Long enough to work through the diagnostic and study plan, short enough to stay motivated.
- You learn well from structured, self-paced content. 240 is a study guide with quizzes and practice tests, not a live tutor.
- You've taken the Praxis before and didn't pass. The diagnostic is built for this — it tells you which content categories cost you the points, so the next study cycle isn't a re-run of the last one.
- You're stacking resources. Most candidates use 240 alongside Khan Academy for Core Math, ETS's free questions, YouTube, and increasingly ChatGPT. 240's strongest role in that mix is the diagnostic plus the timed practice tests.
- You want the guarantee as a backstop. Score 90%+ on a practice test, test within the window, and a failed attempt can be refunded — terms below.
When 240 may not be right for your Praxis prep
The honest counterweight. These are the situations where 240 either won't help much or where another approach makes more sense.
- Your Praxis is in three days or less. A $49.99 subscription will not close a content-knowledge gap in 72 hours. Take the free practice test, find your three lowest-scoring categories, and put your remaining time there. You don't need a subscription for that.
- You're already scoring well above passing. If you're consistently above your state's passing score on practice tests, you probably don't need a paid subscription. Rest matters more at that point.
- You learn best from a person, in real time. 240 is asynchronous and text-led. If your last good study experience was a live class or one-on-one tutoring, the format may feel cold.
- You want all three practice tests on day one. 240 unlocks the full-length practice tests progressively — you complete quizzes to earn access. Some candidates who subscribed mainly for the tests find this frustrating. Worth knowing before you pay.
- Your specific Praxis test isn't covered. 240 covers most Praxis tests, but not every endorsement in every state. Check the catalog first.
- You won't actually open it. This is the most common reason the math stops working. A subscription you don't use is the worst version of the product. If you know your habit is to buy study guides and not study, start with the free practice test.
What Praxis test-takers actually say
These are public TrustPilot reviews from Praxis candidates, anonymized. They're representative of the patterns across hundreds of reviews — not cherry-picked highlights.
240 Tutoring's practice tests are far more accurately representative of the real Praxis than even the official practice test. The whole study plan is strategically rearranged and tailored to your needs. — J.R., TrustPilot review, April 2026
That same reviewer's honest catch was the price: they felt $49.99/month was too high to keep beyond a single month. That's a fair critique — and it's exactly why subscribing for the weeks before your exam and canceling after is a legitimate way to use the product.
240 tutoring helped me pass my praxis exam. I wish I would have found it earlier in my test prep, but it got me a passing score. — Jimmy L., TrustPilot review, April 2026
The pattern across most Praxis reviews is “I used it, I passed.” The criticism that comes up most often, when it comes up, is wanting more — more practice questions, more time before the exam, or a lower price. For a fuller picture, the 240 Tutoring reviews page collects more.
How the 240 Guarantee works for the Praxis
The short version, since the guarantee has its own page. To qualify for a refund, all four must be true:
- You scored 90% or higher on one of the three Practice Tests inside your guide, before you took the exam.
- You took the real Praxis within 30 days of your 240 subscription ending.
- You submitted your official score report — the exam title must match your study guide, and the name must match your account.
- You requested the refund within three months of the failed attempt.
If all four are met, 240 refunds up to two months of subscription. A couple of things it does not require, despite what some third-party sites claim: there's no per-content-category requirement (the 90% is on the overall practice test, not every category), and the 30-day window runs from your subscription ending — not your exam date.
Read the full terms on the 240 Tutoring Guarantee page before you treat the guarantee as a safety net.
Bottom Line:
The 240 Guarantee refunds up to two months of subscription if you scored 90%+ on a Practice Test, took your Praxis within 30 days of your subscription ending, and submitted your score report — within three months of failing.
240 vs. free Praxis resources
A real question. The honest answer is that free resources are genuinely useful, and most candidates who pass use both.
Free resources that work well:
- ETS's official free Praxis practice questions — closest in feel to the real exam.
- Khan Academy — strong for Praxis Core Math refreshers.
- YouTube teacher-creators — best for content explanation, weaker for timed practice.
- ChatGPT and other AI tools — useful for explaining confusing concepts, but they sometimes state wrong things about specific Praxis content. Cross-check anything exam-specific.
What 240 adds on top of free resources: a diagnostic that tells you where to focus rather than just what to study, a study plan ordered by impact, three full-length timed practice tests built to the real Praxis format, constructed-response practice with model answers, and the guarantee as a backstop. If you're disciplined enough to build your own study plan from free resources, you may not need 240. Most candidates aren't — and that's not a character flaw; it's a normal response to having a job, a life, and an exam looming.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — 240 covers all three Core subtests (Reading 5713, Writing 5723, Math 5733) and the combined 5752, with a diagnostic and full-length practice tests for each. Praxis Core Math trips up the most candidates; if it's been a while since you did algebra, pair 240 with Khan Academy for extra math review.
Yes. The Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects guide covers the 5001 and its subtests — 5002 (Reading/Language Arts), 5003 (Math), 5004 (Social Studies), and 5005 (Science). One subscription covers all of them, which helps since most candidates have to pass several subtests, not just one.
Yes — and not just one. 240 has free, full-length Praxis practice tests for most of the catalog: Core (and each Core subtest), Elementary Education 5001 and its 5002–5005 subtests, the ParaPro, the PLTs, and dozens of Subject Assessments. You take the one that matches your exam, get a scored breakdown of where you're weakest, and decide whether to subscribe from there. There's no time-limited free trial of the paid product — the free practice test is the free option. (Some third-party sites mention a “48-hour free trial.” That doesn't exist.)
This is the most common worry, and the honest answer is that 240's questions are built to the official ETS framework, and several reviewers say they feel harder than the real exam — by design, to build stamina. The closest read on alignment is to take the free practice test and compare it to ETS's own official questions yourself before you subscribe.
Three full-length, timed practice tests per guide, unlocked progressively as you complete the quizzes in each content area. You don't get all three the moment you subscribe — you earn access by working through the material first.
Two weeks is enough time for 240 to help. Take the diagnostic first, then put your time into your three lowest-scoring categories instead of trying to study everything. If your exam is three days away, skip the subscription — take the free practice test and focus on your weakest areas.
If you met the guarantee conditions (90%+ on a Practice Test, took the exam within 30 days of your subscription ending, submitted your score report, requested within three months), you can get a refund of up to two months. If you didn't meet them, the diagnostic on your account still shows which categories cost you points — start your retake there, not by re-studying everything.
Yes. The subscription is month-to-month with no long-term commitment. Some candidates subscribe for the weeks before their exam and cancel after — that's a legitimate way to use it. Cancel before the next billing cycle, and you won't be charged again.
Next steps
The fastest way to know whether 240 fits how you study isn't to read more about it — it's to take the free Praxis practice test. It's full-length, it tells you your weakest content areas, and there's nothing to commit to. If the format works for you, the subscription is there. If it doesn't, you've spent nothing but an afternoon.
One full-length practice test shows you where you stand and which content areas to study first — and there's nothing to commit to.
