Every question includes a worked explanation so you learn the clinical reasoning, not just the answer.

The Praxis Audiology (5343) is the national licensure examination in audiology, administered by ETS. It measures the knowledge required for independent practice as an audiologist across schools, hospitals, clinics, and private practice, and is required by ASHA for the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology (CCC-A).[3]

[1] The test has 120 selected-response questions with a 2-hour time limit. The 5343 replaced the retired 5342test code, and these free practice questions mirror the five content categories in ETS’s published outline.[2]

Audiology (5343) is part of the broader Praxis family — if you also work in communication sciences, explore our Speech-Language Pathology (5331) practice test.

Practice Questions by Category

Use Start Test for a full weighted Praxis 5343 simulation, or open the hub and pick a single content category to drill your weak spot. Because Assessment carries 35% of the exam, expect heavy coverage of immittance, otoacoustic emissions, auditory evoked potentials, and vestibular testing — after each full exam your results show a per-category breakdown so you know exactly where to focus.

What Are the Requirements to Take the Praxis 5343?

To register for the Praxis 5343, ETS sets no formal prerequisite for the test itself — you create an ETS account and pay the fee.

[3] In practice the 5343 is taken by examinees who are in or have completed an audiology doctoral degree (AuD or PhD) program. Using the score toward the ASHA CCC-A or state licensure carries its own degree, clinical-practicum, and score requirements set by ASHA and your state board.

[7]Confirm your state’s specific requirement before you register so your attempt counts toward licensure.

How Do You Register for the Praxis 5343?

You register for the Praxis 5343 directly through ETS by creating an ETS account, selecting the Audiology (5343) test, choosing a test window and location, and paying the registration fee.

[5] Most candidates test at a Prometric-style center or online with remote proctoring where offered. The registration fee is about $146 and can change, so verify the current price and available dates on the ETS Praxis site before you register.

If you need to change your appointment, ETS charges a $40 reschedule fee and requires you to reschedule at least three days before your test date.[5]

What Is the Passing Score for the Praxis 5343?

For ASHA CCC-A certification, the Praxis 5343 passing score is 162 on the scaled 100–200 range.[4] Because the test was rescaled when 5343 replaced 5342, that 162 is notcomparable to the retired 5342’s passing score of 170.

Some state boards set their own cut score, so confirm the requirement where you seek licensure.[7] The exam is scored on your performance across the scored questions, with raw scores converted to the scaled score so the standard stays consistent across test forms.[6]

How Hard Is the Praxis 5343?

The Praxis 5343 is a broad, clinically demandingexam — 120 questions in two hours span acoustics and anatomy, the full diagnostic test battery, amplification and (re)habilitation, and professional ethics. ETS does not publish a single official first-time pass rate for the 5343.

The difficulty comes from the breadth of the scope of practice and the depth of the Assessment category: you must interpret tympanograms, acoustic reflexes, OAEs, ABR/ASSR, and vestibular results, and apply them in clinical case scenarios.

The takeaway: prioritize the Assessment and Intervention categories, which together make up 60% of the exam, while keeping your acoustics, pathophysiology, and ethics knowledge sharp.

What to Expect on Exam Day

The Praxis 5343 is a proctored, computer-delivered test.[1] Arrive at least 30 minutes early to check in and bring a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID whose name matches your ETS registration. You’ll store phones and personal items before testing.

After a short tutorial, you have 2 hours to answer 120 selected-response questions. Because items mix quick recall with multi-step clinical case studies, pace yourself and flag-and-return rather than over-investing in any one question.

ETS processes your results and posts an official score report to your account, showing your scaled score against the passing score for the recipients you selected.[6]
