Replacement of Paper-Based Exams with Computer-Delivered Tests
As of 2015, nearly all Praxis paper-based exams have been discontinued and replaced with computer-delivered tests. Test codes beginning with "0" were paper-based tests, while test codes beginning with "5" are computer-delivered tests.
If the test code stayed exactly the same, other than the first digit changing from "0" to "5", then content for these tests remains the same as for the paper-based versions. For example, Praxis General Science: Content Knowledge (0435) is now delivered by computer as Praxis General Science: Content Knowledge (5435).
