What does the Praxis Mathematics test’s calculator policy vary by?

The Praxis Mathematics test’s calculator policy varies by subtest sections because different areas of mathematics assessed may permit or restrict the use of calculators based on the specific content being evaluated. For example, some sections may focus on numerical calculations or algebraic concepts where a calculator could assist test-takers, while other sections may impose restrictions to ensure that students demonstrate their understanding of mathematical concepts without reliance on technology. This approach allows for a more accurate assessment of a candidate's mathematical skills at various levels of difficulty and ensures that they are able to perform essential calculations independently when required.
