PRAXIS Series Tests (PRAXIS)
Civilian examinees should visit PRAXIS: www.ets.org/praxis/
Praxis I - Pre-Professional Skills Tests (PPST):
The PPST consists of three separate tests: Reading, Mathematics and Writing. Some states require students entering college-level teacher-preparation programs to pass the PPST; some other states, however, use the PPST as a teacher-licensing exam.
Praxis II: Subject Assessment/Specialty Tests
Praxis offers over 100 tests in specific subjects and specialties including the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT). Some states use these tests to credential or certify a teacher to teach in a specific area. These tests vary in terms of format (e.g., multiple-choice, constructed-response, or combined multiple-choice/constructed- response); the time limits on all of them are either one or two hours depending on the specific test.
DANTES funds only one administration of the Praxis I: PPST (complete or partial) and one Praxis II: Subject Assessment or Specialty Area test, including the PLT for eligible Service members per lifetime at DANTES military Test Centers. These exams are not reimbursed if taken at a National Test Center. All Service members must pay the $50 registration fee per testing year. DANTES does not fund the registration fee. To determine the test fees and cost for Subject Assessment/Specialty tests, military examinees should contact the DANTES Test Control Officer at the servicing military education center.
