What is the generally stated Passing Score range for Praxis 5312?

• A. 120 to 130
• B. 130 to 140
• C. 146 to 150
• D. 160 to 170

Answer: (C)

Passing scores on Praxis II exams are set on a scaled 100-200 score, and for Praxis 5312 the range most often cited is about 146 to 150. This reflects that many states set their passing threshold near the 150 mark, with some accepting as low as 146 and others at 150 depending on the test form and year. Because the score is scaled rather than a simple percentage, the exact cut scores can vary by state and test version, but 146–150 is the commonly referenced passing band. Scores in the 120s or 130s are typically below passing, while scores in the 160s or 170s exceed the usual passing threshold. Always verify the exact requirement for your state, but 146–150 represents the commonly stated range.
