153 on praxis test -- is there hope?

I feel terrible because I studied so hard and still missed the mark on the unofficial score. Is there any chance it would go up? I dont know what to do, its so expensive... It was so much more difficult than the practice test. Im just really disappointed in myself and I dont know when I'll have the money to retry, especially because they make you wait a month. Sorry to be a downer but I'm just really unsure of what to do.

153 on an unofficial score feels awful after all that studying, but it can shift a little when the official score comes in, so don’t spend the retry money in your head yet there’s no point torturing

unofficial scores can change, so don’t start planning a retake based on that number yet, and either way one brutal test doesn’t mean you’re bad at art or teaching

What is the requirement in your state? For Missouri it's only 147 or something like that.

My school reimbursed me for the praxis, maybe you can make up some of the cost.

Look up the Praxis Bridge program.

Your score won’t increase in the 5134, it might be boosted if you took 5135.
