Two layers of practice
Layer one is the ETS Study Companion, a free PDF with content specifications and sample questions for each code at praxis.ets.org. Layer two is timed practice, either ETS interactive practice sold on the same product page or third-party tests that mimic navigation. North Dakota candidates should finish layer one before spending money on layer two.
ETS interactive practice tests are linked from individual product pages. Listings in November 2026 often showed add-on practice near $24.95 beside content exams such as 5025, 5038, and 5165, while PLT products such as 5622 listed $156 registration fees on their product pages. Those dollar amounts come from ETS checkout, not from vendor blogs. After a scored practice set, compare your result only to the North Dakota qualifying score for that code on ETS qualifying scores, then decide whether another paid set is worth the fee.

Buying checklist
- Copy the exact code from requirements finder output.
- Open ETS qualifying scores and note the North Dakota cut.
- Download the companion for that code.
- Compare paid options only if companions plus one free sample set are not enough.
North Dakota score context
Practice products display raw or scaled scores using their own algorithms. Only the live exam uses the qualifying score in effect on your test date. Treat vendor thresholds as rough guidance.
Core vs content tests
Core codes 5713, 5723, and 5733 share timing habits but need separate purchases. Content tests like 5205 mix selected and constructed response; vendors vary in how they score essays. See Core practice test options for math and writing drills.
When paid practice is worth it
Pay when you reliably miss companion objectives under time pressure after two weeks of study. Skip when misses come from unread objectives; more tests will not fix gaps you have not taught yourself.
Plain links
Essay scoring in vendor tools
Some vendors auto-score only multiple choice. For 5205, 5723, or other constructed-response tests, practice typing in a blank document and compare to companion rubric language instead of trusting a green checkmark from software.
Printing rights
Book-based practice tests sometimes limit how many pages you can print. Read the license before marking up a rented digital book you cannot carry into a study group.
Constructed-response practice files
Keep a folder of your 5205 or 5723 practice essays. Before buying another multiple-choice bank, reread whether your weakness is typing speed, outlining, or content knowledge.
Device compatibility
Web practice platforms behave differently on tablets. Run one diagnostic on the same device you will use for paid sets so buttons and timers feel familiar.
Score translation tables
Some vendors show percentages that do not match ETS scaled scores. Compare vendor diagnostics only to the North Dakota qualifying score listed for your code on ETS qualifying scores.
Sharing accounts
ETS practice accounts are personal. Sharing logins violates terms and makes it impossible to tell whether your timing improved.
Matching home vs center rules
Practice tests should mimic the environment you will actually use on test day.
Refund windows
Read refund terms before buying annual subscriptions.
Open-ended question banks
Some platforms recycle the same item stems with new numbers. Treat repetition as a sign to return to the companion rather than buying another month of the same pool.
Label your exports
When a vendor lets you download score PDFs, rename files with the code and date immediately. You will need that habit when ESPB asks for uploads months later.
Independence
North Dakota PD is independent from vendors and from ETS. Praxis is an ETS trademark.

Quick answers
Do practice tests guarantee a passing score?
No vendor can guarantee results. ETS forms rotate. Use practice to decide whether to register, not as a promise.
Which code do I buy?
Match the four-digit code on your ESPB checklist, not a subject nickname. Elementary 5001 subtests are separate products.
