Praxis I and Praxis II Tests Required for

 Teacher Licensure in the State of Indiana

NOTE!   Academic advisers and School of Education License Advisers will help students identify appropriate testing requirements.  Each student, however, has the final responsibility for all decisions and actions in identifying requirements for testing, arranging for taking tests, and insuring that test results are transmitted to the School of Education.

For updates to the information provided below, visit the internet sites for Indiana Professional Standards Board at www.doe.state.in.us/dps or Educational Testing Service at http://www.ets.org.

 Praxis I Tests

All candidates for initial licensure in Indiana must complete Praxis I tests in reading, writing, and math. Either Pre-professional skills tests (PPST) or Computer Based Tests (C-PPST) (or a mix of the two types) are acceptable.  C-PPST tests may be taken only once during any 60-day period.  Test codes, test names, and qualifying scores for Praxis I tests are:

Praxis II Tests

Praxis II tests are referred to as either “content area tests” or as “specialty area tests.”   A candidate for licensure must obtain passing scores for all tests in the content areas of their teaching major.   Depending on a candidate’s teaching major, this requirement could mean taking and passing more than one content area test.  Current provisions of Indiana State law  allow candidates to be licensed in minor areas without taking a Praxis II test in those content areas. Elementary Education majors who are adding an endorsement area in Language Arts, Math, Science, or Social Studies must take a Praxis II test in the area of endorsement. Test codes, test names, and qualifying scores for Praxis II tests are listed below for each University of Evansville teaching area:
