We Heard What You Said: Nonstandard Test Accommodations for Test Takers Whose Primary Language Is Not English (Plne)
Test takers whose primary language is not English (PLNE) may qualify for nonstandard test accommodations on certain Praxis™ exams in an effort to assist candidates during the testing process.
Those test takers who meet ETS requirements, as outlined in the Certification of Documentation form, will be allowed 50 percent additional testing time. These accommodations are available for some Praxis tests, however, this service is not available for the Praxis language tests.
How to Apply for Accommodations
Requests for PLNE accommodations must include a completed Certification of Documentation form available in the online registration bulletin. The program has the right to request further verification, if needed, of the professional's credentials and expertise relevant to the certification of the documentation form. An embossed school seal must be affixed over the signature on the documentation form or the signature must be notarized. This form must be completed the first time a candidate applies for the accommodation. Requests must include an Eligibility Form for Examinees Whose Primary Language Is Not English, also available in the registration bulletin. This form must be completed each time a candidate registers for PLNE accommodations.
Candidates are encouraged to consult the registration calendar in the bulletin for submission deadlines of registration forms and fees. All required PLNE documentation must be submitted together and received at ETS by the registration closing dates listed on the bulletin. Test takers who wish to test under PLNE accommodations may only register for a PLNE test date. PLNE is offered on select Praxis test dates: April 28, 2007, and June 9, 2007.
Standby registration is not available for this service. Test and/or test center changes or additions are not available for this service because space and test materials are specifically limited to accommodate the number of examinees assigned to each center and the tests for which they have registered.
