The test consists of 90 selected-response questions across the three subject areas of reading, math, and writing. Approximately two-thirds of the questions in each subject area focus on basic skills and knowledge, and approximately one-third of the questions in each subject area focus on the application of those skills and knowledge in a classroom context. The test is 150 minutes.

The ETS® ParaPro Assessment is delivered on computer and is administered by appointment at Prometric® test centers, at other participating test centers, at home, and at participating school districts, regional offices of education and other agencies.
