All tests must be completed by closing time and can start no later than 6 p.m. for evening testing
The Praxis Series tests are taken by individuals entering the teaching profession as part of the certification process required by many states and professional licensing organizations.
Praxis I tests measure basic skills in reading, writing and mathematics. In addition to licensure, these tests are often used to qualify candidates for entry into a teacher education program. You can take either the combined version of the Praxis I or you can take reading, writing, and mathematics separately.
We offer the Praxis I Monday-Friday, with appointments available in the morning, afternoon, and some evenings. If you would like to register to take the Praxis I (either combined or individual subjects), you can do so at http://www.ets.org/praxis/register/.
There is not a register-by date for the Praxis I. However, seats for the test can fill up quickly. You should try to register at least two weeks ahead of your desired appointment time.
The combined version of the Praxis I costs $130.00. Praxis I individual subject tests cost $80.00. Payment is required at the time of registration. If you register over the phone with our department or online at ets.org, you will need a credit card available. If you come into our department to register, you can pay with a personal check.
Most major bookstores carry test preparation materials. Additionally, you can find information about preparing for the Praxis tests here: http://www.ets.org/praxis/prepare/materials.
Your scores will be available to you online approximately four weeks after your test date. You can get your scores earlier by utilizing the Scores-by-Phone service. More information about Praxis test scores can be found here: http://www.ets.org/praxis/scores/.
During registration, you may identify up to three institutions or licensing agencies to receive your Praxis scores for free. You may also order additional score reports after the test for a nominal service fee.
Each state has different Praxis score requirements. You can find information about state requirements regarding Praxis scores here: http://www.ets.org/praxis/states.
Your score report indicates: your score and whether you passed, the range of possible scores, the raw points available in each content category, the range of the middle 50 percent of scores on that test, and your Recognition of Excellence (ROE) Award status, if applicable.
