Why I built this

On November 25, 2025, I took the Praxis Spanish 5195 for the first time. I scored 159. Colorado's cut score is 163 — I missed by four points.
I'd studied for months. I left convinced I just wasn't good enough.
I was wrong. I'd studied hard, but not strategically. I'd crammed random cultural facts. I'd read Spanish passages cover-to-cover before looking at the questions. I'd spent 18 minutes on the email task and panic-written the essays. None of that was a Spanish problem — it was a strategy problem.
Ten weeks later, I retook the test and scored 174. Eleven points clear. Cultural Knowledge went from 5/12 to a perfect 12/12. Reading went from 13/25 to 21/25. The score jump didn't come from more Spanish — it came from a plan and the discipline to follow it.

Praxis Spanish Help is the program I wish I'd had — designed specifically for K-12 Spanish teachers, by a teacher who walked the path.
