Let me share a secret: the Praxis Core test nearly rerouted my entire journey. After failing the math section not once, not twice, but three times, I had to face a hard truth—my mental health was worth more than a test score. I switched majors, feeling both defeated and oddly liberated. Now, two years out of undergrad and thriving in graduate school for school counseling here in sunny California (yes, they don’t require Praxis for my program!), I can’t help but wonder: how many others have had their dreams redirected by this exam? If you’ve felt the sting of standardized tests or found a new calling because of them, I want to hear your story! Maybe there’s a hidden silver lining or a trick I missed. Drop your experiences below, challenge my perspective, and let’s bridge these information gaps together. Sometimes, what feels like a setback is just the universe nudging us toward our true path. Or am I just being overly optimistic? 😂 What’s your Praxis story? Let’s get real in the comments! 🌟 #PraxisCore #EducationJourney #CareerChange #Education
