Study Plan
A study plan provides a roadmap to prepare for your exams. It can help you understand what skills and knowledge are covered on the test and where to focus your attention.
You should leave yourself plenty of time to study for the Praxis®, but not so much time that you forget the material or lose motivation. For most people, this means that you should begin studying two to three months before the exam.

4. Plan and organize your time.
Most people start their preparations two to three months before the actual exam. It is recommended that you start preparing at least one month prior, even if you are familiar with the test material. This will allow you to familiarize yourself with the test rules, types of questions, and test scoring rules.
Choose a test date far enough in the future to leave you plenty of preparation time.
Work backward from that date to figure out how much time you will need for review.
Set a realistic schedule and stick to it.
