The Praxis 5331 has three content categories. Weight your studying to match — most test-takers over-prepare Treatment and under-prepare Foundations, which is nearly half the exam.
Built for ~10 hours/week. If you have 4–6 weeks, compress weeks 1–3 into a single week each. If you have 12 weeks, add a mid-plan diagnostic and lengthen weeks 2 and 4.
Free, ASHA-authored clinical summaries for every disorder area — the gold standard reference.
Official ETS PDF with the exact blueprint, 20 sample questions, and answer key.
Structured 8-week plan plus 20 scenario-style practice items with rationales — no signup.

Yes. This page is a full free Praxis 5331 study guide — ETS blueprint, 8-week plan, high-yield content by domain, and 20 free scenario-style practice questions with rationales. No signup required. An optional 2-page PDF cheat sheet is available for one email.
It is possible, but harder. Most first-time passers combine free content (ASHA Practice Portal, ETS free study companion, this guide) with at least one paid question bank of 300+ items and a timed full-length mock. The single biggest predictor of passing is exposure to scenario-style questions with written rationales — that is what a paid bank buys you.
Most students study 6–10 weeks at 8–12 hours per week. If you are currently in a CSD graduate program, 4–6 weeks is often enough. If you are more than a year out of coursework, plan 10–12 weeks and start with a diagnostic to find your weak domains.
ASHA and most states require a scaled score of 162 out of 200. That maps to roughly 85–95 correct out of 132 depending on form difficulty. A handful of states set a slightly different cut score — check your state's licensing board.
Foundations & Professional Practice (44%), Screening/Assessment/Evaluation/Diagnosis (33%), and Planning/Implementation/Evaluation of Treatment (23%). Foundations is the biggest weight and where most test-takers under-prepare.
Start with anatomy and cranial nerves (they underlie every other topic), then adult neuro (aphasia, motor speech, dysphagia), then pediatric language and articulation, then voice and fluency, then research design and ethics last. Finish with two full-length timed mocks.
400+ scenario-style questions, timed full-length mock, wrong-only retake mode, and the anatomy coloring book — $49 lifetime, no subscription.
