So I just took the praxis 2 test and I'm so depressed, please help!!?

Question

I took the praxis 2 music content knowledge test today and honestly feel like I failed it. I've dedicated my entire life to music and to have this test undo all of my hard work (and studying in preparation for this test), makes me feel like a complete failure. Did you pass the Praxis 2 teaching test your first time? If not, how did you deal with having to retake the test. I can't imagine what my family and friends are going to think :((

Answer 1

I also took the praxis 2 test today and also feel like I might have failed it.  DO NOT let yourself feel like a failure because of this test though!  It is completely normal for people to have to retake the praxis 2, and your scores are "supposed" to be a reflection of your knowledge on the subject, but that is rarely accurate.  They can ask you the most random things that have nothing to do with whether or not you will be successful with your passion for music in life.  Many times, we do better than we think we did, which would be awesome, but if not, join the one of many praxis re-takers and we'll get it right second time around.  It's the only thing standing between you and your passion for your future career, and you CAN and WILL pass it!  Then move on knowing in your heart that no multiple choice exam can accurately measure whether or not you will be proficient in your area.  Good luck to us both, I've got my fingers crossed!  :o)
