Don't memorize the answer — classify why you missed it (A · B · C), then write the method you'll use next time. Everything stays in this browser.
How it works: type the question or error topic, pick the root-cause class below, and write the reflection method. Stored locally in this browser (localStorage) — clearing your browser data removes it.

Why a mistake log beats memorizing questions
Most Praxis 5001 candidates review by rereading explanations and redoing the same questions — which feels productive but rarely moves a scaled score. The reason: recognition memory is not the same as method memory. A question you have seen once is easy the second time, but the underlying skill — for example, unpacking a two-step math word problem or spotting the teaching move a reading scenario is really testing — stays unmastered unless you name what went wrong.
This log forces the naming step. Every entry classifies the miss into one of three root causes: A — Careless (a calculation slip or misread option, fixed by slowing down and double-checking), B — Knowledge Gap (a concept or formula you have not mastered, fixed by studying that blueprint category), and C — Method Error (the right idea, wrong procedure — fixed by rehearsing the correct steps). Then you write the method you will use next time, not the answer.
When your log fills in, patterns appear: if most entries are B, your study time belongs in the question bank drilling that subtest; if they are mostly A, timed diagnostic practice with a checklist matters more. For the full exam structure, see the Praxis 5001 study guide; for score targets, check the passing scores by state. Everything else lives on the resources page.
