Test Requirements

If you test in Pennsylvania a copy of your scores will automatically be sent to the State Department of Education. You must designate the institution you attend in Pennsylvania as a score recipient.

The first digit of the "Session/Test Code" indicates the session during which the test is offered in the 2002-2003 testing year. There are no session numbers for the CBT tests, which are given by appointment, as explained in Praxis I Computer-Based Testing.

The computer-based tests are offered by appointment through a national network of Prometric(TM) Testing Centers (many Prometric Testing Centers are located inside Sylvan Learning Centers), selected institutional sites, and ETS Field Service Offices. Visit Computer-Based Testing for the locations near you.

You may not take a Computerized PPST test more than once in any given 60-day period. If you do so, the scores from your second or subsequent testing will not be reported and your test fees will not be refunded.
