Understanding the Praxis II Exam
The Praxis series consists of three assessments, but Praxis II stands out for its comprehensive evaluation of subject-specific knowledge and teaching skills. This exam is essential for prospective K-12 teachers, assessing their grasp of subjects and pedagogical techniques. The Praxis II includes tests on subject assessments, Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT), and teaching foundation knowledge.
Exam Options
Praxis II is available in both computer-based and paper-based formats. The paper-based exam is widely administered across various testing centers. To ensure fairness, non-native English speakers can take a non-standard test at designated locations if needed.
Test Structure
The Praxis II exam comprises three main sections:
1. Subject Assessment: This part evaluates the applicant's understanding of specific subjects through multiple-choice and essay questions.
2. Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT): This section measures the candidate's understanding of teaching principles across four grade levels: early childhood, K-6, 5-9, and 7-12. It combines case studies with essay and multiple-choice questions.
3. Teaching Foundation Test: This assesses knowledge in key educational domains like English, language arts, science, mathematics, and social science. Questions require both essay responses and selecting answers from multiple-choice options. Candidates have between two to four hours to complete the exam.
