About this exam
The TExES Mathematics 7–12 (235) is a Texas educator certification exam for candidates seeking to teach mathematics in grades 7 through 12. It assesses whether candidates have the mathematical knowledge and teaching-related understanding expected for secondary classrooms; it is a certification requirement, not an employment or college-admission test. Candidates generally need to meet their educator preparation program’s requirements and receive authorization to test. Eligibility and certification steps can vary by pathway, so check current Texas Education Agency guidance and your program’s instructions.
Preparation covers more than advanced calculations. Review real number systems and properties, rational and complex numbers, number theory, algebraic expressions, equations and inequalities, and the broader mathematics content areas in the current test framework. The exam also assesses mathematical reasoning and the ability to support student learning. A useful study plan begins with the official preparation manual, identifies weaker topics, and builds in timed review and error analysis. Online multiple-choice practice can help you check understanding, but it should complement—not replace—content review.
How to prepare for the TExES Mathematics 7–12 exam
- Use the current official TExES Mathematics 7–12 preparation manual and test framework to map every content area, including number concepts, algebra, geometry, statistics, and mathematical processes.
- Review foundational topics systematically: explain why number properties and operations work, then practice applying them to rational and complex numbers, number theory, and algebraic equations and inequalities.
- Use timed sets to build pacing, then review every missed or guessed question by identifying the underlying concept and correcting your reasoning; revisit the official framework as you adjust your study plan.
