Praxis Exams

Every teacher is required to pass the praxis exams in their specific area of study. There are normally at least two different Praxis tests that have to be completed for example: Praxis I and Praxis II's. Last November I completed the Praxis I's. It consisted of a math section, literature section and essay. Basically the exam was exactly like the SAT's. I would suggest if you want to study to go to Barns and Noble and buy a Praxis I and II study book. The book contains practice tests with answers and also has a few pages of general rules and guidelines for taking the exam. Now that I have successfully passed the Praxis I's I am looking to sign up for the Praxis II's. To do this you need to go to www.ets.org and follow the directions for registration. If you are not sure if there is a testing site near you, you can find out on this site. Finally you can choose if you would like to take paper based or computer based test. I have heard mixed reviews of both but it is your preference. Make sure you specify which test you want to take when registering. If you have any questions about the exams feel free to ask me and I will try my best to answer. I am not sure what to expect for the Praxis II's but I would be more than happy to help answer questions about Praxis I's or registration. Good Luck!
