About this exam

The Praxis Audiology Examination (5343), administered by ETS, assesses knowledge relevant to professional audiology practice. It is commonly used in the United States as part of the requirements for the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology (CCC-A) and may be required for state licensure. Candidates are generally audiology students nearing program completion or graduates pursuing certification or a license. It is not typically an entrance exam for an audiology degree program; certification and licensing requirements differ, so check the relevant ASHA and state board guidance.

The exam covers foundational knowledge and clinical audiology, including auditory anatomy and physiology, acoustics and psychoacoustics, pure-tone audiometry, hearing-threshold measurement, speech audiometry, and speech recognition testing. Candidates should be ready to apply concepts to assessment and clinical scenarios, not only recall definitions. For preparation, review the current ETS test information and study companion, identify weaker content areas, and revisit the reasoning behind missed questions. A steady review plan and occasional timed multiple-choice practice can help build accuracy and pacing.

How to prepare for the Praxis Audiology Examination

  1. Use the current ETS Praxis Audiology study materials to confirm the test outline and organize review around its listed content areas.
  2. Review core concepts in auditory anatomy and physiology, acoustics and psychoacoustics, pure-tone testing, and speech audiometry; connect each topic to its clinical use.
  3. Complete timed multiple-choice practice periodically, then analyze incorrect answers to identify whether the gap is in terminology, calculations, test interpretation, or clinical reasoning.
