Is the Praxis difficult?
Passing the PRAXIS CORE can seem like a daunting task – but once you know what to study, the test becomes a lot less scary and a lot more fun. But if you aren’t confident in these areas it’s hard to build on what you don’t know. This is ground zero – where you NEED to start studying.
What happens if you don’t pass the Praxis?
If you don’t pass a Praxis II Exam for your license, you will need to retake it before you can teach. In states that require multiple Praxis tests, every test must be passed before you’re issued a teaching certificate. If you pass the Praxis Core but fail the Praxis II, this will keep you from getting a license.
Do you have to pass the Praxis to teach?
Yes, in certain states. All teaching licenses in the U.S.A. are granted by individual states. Currently 36 states and three U.S. territories accept the Praxis test. If your state or territory doesn’t accept the Praxis, then you can get a teacher certification without the Praxis Test.
