Praxis Resources

Praxis Tests

This page is a wonderful resource to help explain the various Praxis tests. Colleges and universities may use Praxis I: Pre-Professional Skills Assessments to evaluate individuals for entry into teacher education programs. The assessments are generally taken early in your college career. Individuals entering the teaching profession take the Praxis II tests as part of the teacher licensing and certification process required by many states. A number of professional associations and organizations require these tests as one criterion for professional licensing decisions. Beginning teachers residing and planning to teach in states that require Praxis III: Classroom Performance Assessments as part of the criteria for teacher licensing decisions have their teaching skills assessed in classroom settings, by trained assessors. For each test the site explains the fees, what is on the test, how to sign up for the test. The Download Library tab is very helpful for preparation of the tests. It is only available for PRAXIS I and II. It has each test broken up by subject and in a PDF file the specific subject test is explained and has example questions.
