Praxis II Testing

Praxis II Testing

The Praxis II Specialty Area (content) Exams and Principles of Learning & Teaching Exams are required by the state of Ohio. These state mandated exams measure your knowledge of the content area(s) you plan to teach and your knowledge of the principles of learning related to the age group(s) connected to your future license.

The implementation of educator testing in Ohio is in response to standards adopted by the State Board of Education. The State Board of Education has selected Educational Testing Service (ETS) to provide the licensure examinations for Ohio. Successful completion of the Praxis II test(s) is designed to ensure that candidates for licensure have acquired the minimal knowledge necessary for entry-level positions.

Update info for Library Media candidates:

We wish to inform you of an upcoming change in the Praxis II 0310 Test.

After September 1, 2009, the test number for the Library Media PII test will be changed to 0311. The “scaling” or scoring of the 0311 will be changed to reflect the more commonly used 100-200 Praxis scale. The new cut score or passing score for 0311 will be 148. It is our understanding that the content and nature of the test is NOT changing.

What test should I take?
It is recommended that you take your specialty (content) area exam(s) as soon as you are done with your content courses. The specialty (content) area exam(s) are also used as the entrance exam to our graduate level teacher preparation program. It is recommended that you take your Principles of Teaching and Learning (PLT) exam when you begin your student teaching/internship. You may be ready to take the PLT exam earlier, but you should discuss this with your faculty advisor.

If your licensure area permits you to take any of the PLT exams, we recommend the PLT 7-12 as it has the highest pass rate.

It is important that you sign up for the correct Praxis exam(s). The State of Ohio adopts new tests occasionaly, so don't follow the advise of other students as to which exam to register for. Since you need to attach copies of your passing scores to your licensure application, consult with a Teacher Licensure advisor in 378 Allyn, CEHS Office of Student Services (they are the people who will perform the final audit for your licensure recommendation to the State of Ohio's Department of Education).
