The PPST(R) tests in Reading and Mathematics are composed of multiple-choice questions only. The Writing test includes both multiple-choice questions and an essay section. The assessments are available in two formats: paper-based and computer-based. See the section "Computerized PPST Tests" below for more detailed information about these computer-based tests. Praxis II Subject Assessments measure your content knowledge of the subjects you will teach. These tests are available only in paper-based format. The Praxis II Subject Assessments include: --Subject Assessments. These assessments measure your general and subject-specific teaching skills and knowledge. These tests feature multiple-choice and constructed-response items. --Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) Tests. These assessments measure your general pedagogical knowledge at four grade levels: Early Childhood, K-6, 5-9, and 7-12. These tests use a case study approach and feature constructed-response and multiple-choice items. --Teaching Foundations Exams (TFE). These assessments measure pedagogy in five areas: multi-subject (elementary), English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. These tests feature constructed-response and multiple-choice items. Praxis I and Praxis II tests are one, two, or four hours in length. You may take any combination of tests that fits the schedule shown below. Please note: all Praxis I and II exams are administered in English only. TEST SCHEDULE FOR PAPER-BASED TESTS Session 1 One 2-hour test or One 4-hour test OR One or Two 1-hour tests Session 2 One 2-hour test OR One or Two 1-hour tests Computerized PPST(R) Tests Praxis I Computerized Pre-Professional Skills Tests (PPST) are computer-delivered tests in Reading, Mathematics, and Writing.

The Computerized PPST tests in Reading, Mathematics, and Writing are offered as single tests or a combined test that is delivered in a single testing session. The combined test consists of four separately timed sections: Reading, Mathematics, multiple-choice Writing, and essay Writing. An optional 15-minute break is offered between the Mathematics and Writing sections of the test. Individual scores will be reported for Reading, Mathematics, and Writing. During the computerized PPST, all test takers receive the same: --test directions --tutorials on computer use --amount of testing time --question types --distribution of content The testing session for each Computerized PPST test is two (2) hours. A combined test (all 3 tests) is four and a half (4 1/2) hours. This allows time for tutorials and the collection of background information from test takers.

Mail your registration form, fees, and either a letter signed by your cleric on letterhead stationery confirming your affiliation with a recognized religious body whose convictions prevent you from testing on Saturday, or a copy of your military duties. Your registration must be received by the Monday registration deadline listed on the back cover of this Bulletin. Leave the code number blank in the Test Center section on the registration form, but indicate the city and state where you wish to test. You will be assigned to the closest available center within 125 miles of locations that are scheduled for Saturday test dates. IF YOUR PRIMARY LANGUAGE IS NOT ENGLISH (PLNE) Nonstandard test accommodations (extended testing time) may be available for test takers whose primary language is not English. Test takers who meet ETS requirements will be allowed 50 percent additional testing time. Because of the time needed to review documentation and limited space and test materials at the test center, PLNE accommodations are NOT available for emergency registration. Once PLNE accommodations are approved, test changes and/or additions, or test center changes, are not permitted. PLNE accommodations are not offered for language tests. How to Register for PLNE Your request for PLNE accommodations must include the following: 1. A completed Certification of Documentation form (page 19). The Program has the right to request further verification, if needed, of the professional's credentials and expertise relevant to the certification of documentation form. An embossed school seal must be affixed over the signature on the certification of documentation form or the signature must be notarized. 2. A completed Eligibility Form for Test Takers Whose Primary Language Is Not English (page 20). It is necessary to complete this form each time you register for these accommodations. 3. A completed registration form for paper-based tests (or CBT Authorization Voucher Request Form for Praxis I Computerized PPST tests) and appropriate fees. Be sure to check the box at the top of the form to indicate that you are requesting nonstandard testing accommodations. All materials must be submitted together and received at ETS by the LATE registration deadline listed on the back cover of this Bulletin. Requests received at ETS after these dates, incomplete requests, and requests received on outdated forms will be returned to you unprocessed. All documentation must be approved before the test administration date. The Program will make every effort to evaluate all requests in a timely manner. If further verification of the professional's credentials and expertise relevant to the documentation submitted is needed, it is possible that testing will be delayed until the next applicable test date. Because of ETS's need to review documentation in order to provide accommodations, all test takers must register through ETS, even if taking a computerized PPST test. You cannot register through Prometric if you are requesting testing accommodations. Test Dates and Special Registration Instructions for PLNE Accommodations You must use the paper-based testing registration form in this Bulletin when applying for PLNE accommodations. Check the desired test date on your registration form. You may register only for a PLNE test date. Using the PLNE Test Center List on the Praxis website, write the test center code, name, and location in the Test Center section of the registration form. All documents must be sent together in an envelope to ETS-The Praxis Series, PO Box 382065, Pittsburgh, PA 15251-8065. ETS recognizes the right of individuals to confidentiality with regard to documentation supplied by and about them that may be stored in files held by ETS and the concomitant responsibility of ETS to safeguard information in its files from unauthorized disclosure. Reregistration If you have previously registered and your request for accommodations has been approved by ETS, you may request the same testing accommodations for subsequent test dates. To reregister, submit a completed Eligibility Form (page 20) indicating your candidate ID number and the test date for which documentation was approved and on file at ETS, a registration form (or CBT Authorization Voucher Request form on page 18), and appropriate fees by the registration deadlines.

You may register for this service until the emergency registration deadline (see back cover). Standby testing is no longer permitted.

You do not need to submit a request for a refund. Test Retake Policy COMPUTER-BASED TESTS You may take the Computerized PPST test only once per calendar month and no more than six times within a 12-month period, beginning with your first test date. This applies even if you canceled your scores on a test taken previously. If you violate this restriction, the scores from your retest will not be reported and your test fees will not be refunded. PAPER-BASED TESTS ETS does not limit the number of times you can retake a test; some states, associations, and institutions, however, may limit the number of times you can retest. Contact your state or licensing agency to confirm their retest policy. Note: The test retake policy will be enforced even if a violation is not immediately identified (e.g., inconsistent registration information) and test scores have been reported. In such cases, the invalid scores will be canceled and score recipients will be notified of the cancellation. ON THE TEST DAY Identification (ID) Requirements COMPUTER-BASED AND PAPER-BASED TESTS The identification (ID) requirements in this section must be read by all test takers. It is your responsibility to ensure that your ID documents are up-to-date and available on the day of the test. Your ID requirements depend on your country of citizenship and where you plan to test. Please read the specific information below for acceptable primary and supplemental ID documents. --You must have acceptable and valid ID with your name, signature and photograph to be admitted to a test center.

If positive confirmation cannot be made, you may be refused admission to the test center and you will forfeit your registration and test fees. --Test center personnel will check your ID before assigning you a seat at the test center and you may be asked to sign the test center log. The test administrator will check your name, signature and photograph to verify that you are the person in your ID document(s). This procedure will be repeated before and after all breaks. --Admittance to the test center does not imply that your form of ID is valid or that your scores will be reported.

The time you spend on the tutorial and/or other untimed sections should not be for any other purpose. You may not use scratch paper during this time. Infractions will be reported to ETS, and the test administrator is authorized to dismiss you from the test administration if you fail to follow the test administrator's directions.

SCORES & SCORE REPORTS Reporting Your Test Scores COMPUTER-BASED AND PAPER-BASED TESTS If you test in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, or West Virginia, a copy of your scores will automatically be sent to that state's teacher credentialing agency. If you completed or are planning to complete an approved teacher education program in Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Washington D.C., or Wisconsin, you must designate your educational institution as a score recipient. If you are applying for licensure in one of these states, but completed your teacher preparation in another state, you must submit an ETS score report to the Kansas State Board of Education, the Minnesota Department of Education, the Oklahoma Board of Regents, D.C. Public Schools, or the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, along with your licensure application. Note to Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology test takers: Please refer to the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Attending Institution/Recipient Code List to designate an attending institution and a score recipient (see Praxis website). Your score report will be available to you online on the score report release date, approximately four weeks after the test date. (See the last page of this bulletin for score report release dates for each test date.) Online scores are downloadable and available for forty five (45) calendar days from the score reporting date. You can also request your scores to be sent to up to three score recipients.* (*ETS reserves the right to refrain from sending score reports (1) to entities that have been found to violate the Guidelines for Proper Use of The Praxis Series and Related Assessments, and (2) to entities against which complaints of violation have been made pending completion of ETS's inquiry into the claimed violation(s).) In order for your attending institution (college or university where you received training that most closely relates to the test(s) you are taking) to receive a copy of your score report, you MUST list the institution as a score recipient. Individual score reports are NOT sent to attending institutions unless they are designated as a score recipient. For a fee you can request more than three (3) score recipients. See "Additional Score Reports (ASRs)" on page 15. 15 SCORES & SCORE REPORTS (continued) Your scores for a specific test will be sent to a designated recipient only if that institution or agency is eligible to receive those test scores. For exceptions, please see "Confidentiality of Information" on page 17. Score reports will list your current score and highest score earned on each test taken over the last ten (10) years. You will receive passing score information on your score report for those score recipients designated on your registration form. If you list an institution as a score recipient, the passing score information you receive will be based on the scores set by the state's teacher licensing agency in which the institution is located. Passing score information will be provided for the highest score for each test taken and listed on your score report. The passing score information is based on the most recent information The Praxis Series program has for each agency, association, or organization. Score recipients you choose on the registration form and the Additional Score Report Request form will receive passing score information that is pertinent only to them. They will not receive passing score information for other agencies, associations, or organizations. Official score reports will not be released if you have an outstanding balance, which may include an outstanding balance for previous services from The Praxis Series program. Scores from the 2009-10 testing year will be available for reporting on additional score reports for ten (10) years. Test taker background data will be retained for the same time period. Detailed information from current score reports is available for only three (3) months after the scores are initially reported. For more information about your scores, you may download Understanding Your Praxis Scores from the Praxis website at www.ets.org/praxis. COMPUTER-BASED TESTS You will review unofficial Reading and Mathematics scores at the test center; however, because of the essay scoring process, you will not view your Writing score at that time. Test centers cannot provide printed copies of score reports. Your official Reading, Mathematics, and Writing scores will be supplied to your score recipients and available for you to view, print, and download by accessing the online user account you created within 10-15 business days after you take the test. To obtain scores by phone, see the section under Scoring Services on this page. PAPER-BASED TESTS Score reports will be available online approximately four weeks after the test date. Your scores may be delayed if you do not: --Fill out your answer sheet properly and grid the correct ovals --Provide the same identifying information on your registration form and answer sheet --Write your constructed response or essay on the assigned page Questions That Do Not Count Toward Your Score The test(s) you take may include one or more questions that do not count toward your score. These "pretest questions" are new questions that are being tried out in actual test administrations. Test takers are not told which questions are in this category because ETS needs to determine how such questions function under actual testing conditions. Nonscorable questions may appear in some, but not all, Praxis tests.

You may complete your request online (for paper-based tests only), by mail, phone, or fax. To make an ASR request online, log in or set up an account on the Praxis online registration site. On the "My Praxis Paper-based Testing Home Page," click on "Order Additional Score Reports" under the "My Test Registrations and Orders" section. Follow the online instructions to complete your order. To request an ASR by mail or fax, download and complete the Additional Score Report form located on the website at www.ets.org/praxis. Telegram requests will not be processed. ETS will process your score report (indicating only the highest score earned on each test) within ten (10) working days after your request and payment are received. When you ask ETS to send additional score reports to institutions or agencies, you automatically authorize ETS to report your highest scores for all tests taken over the past ten (10) years. These could include test results from Praxis I Pre-Professional Skills Tests (PPST), Computerized PPST tests, Praxis II Subject Assessments, and Principles of Learning and Teaching test administrations. (Scores for a specific test will be sent to a recipient only if that recipient is eligible to receive those scores.) 16 SCORES & SCORE REPORTS (continued) If scores have not been reported from a current administration and you want the institutions or agencies listed on your Additional Score Report Request form combined with those listed on your registration form, check the appropriate box on the form. Current and highest scores will then be reported to all recipients requested. You will automatically receive a copy of your score report confirming that your score report was sent. SCORE VERIFICATION/REVIEW SERVICE (COMPUTER-BASED AND PAPER-BASED TESTS) Fee: see "Fees for Tests and Related Services" on page 8 Multiple-choice answer sheets are machine scored, which gives virtually 100 percent accuracy. However, occasionally test takers feel their scores have been reported incorrectly. You may request verification of a multiple-choice test score if you feel the score is in error. (NOTE: Multiple-choice questions on computer-based tests are not available for score verification because they were transmitted electronically and scored once at the test center and verified.) All constructed-response and essay readers have been carefully trained and follow strict scoring procedures. Each test that contains one or more constructed-responses or essays is scored by more than one reader. However, if you feel that your score for a constructed-response or essay test does not accurately reflect your performance, you may request a score review of your test. To have a score verification for a multiple-choice test or a score review of a test containing a constructed-response or essay, download and complete the Score Verification Request form from the Praxis website at www.ets.org/praxis and send it to ETS with the proper fee. Your request must be received within four (4) months of the test date. If there is a change in your reported score, the revised score (which may be higher or lower than your originally reported score) will be reported to you and to the recipients of the original score, and your verification fee will be refunded. Your test books and answer sheets are not available for disclosure. Please note that your score for a specific test will be verified/reviewed only once. Cancellation of Scores by You COMPUTER-BASED TESTS Before viewing your scores, the computer gives you the option of canceling your scores when you finish each test. Your scores will be canceled for all four (4) sections of the combined test if you choose to cancel your scores. Once you have viewed your scores, they cannot be canceled. If you choose to cancel your scores, you cannot view them on the computer screen and they cannot be reinstated. You will not receive a refund if you cancel your scores. You may also choose to stop taking the test (Quit). If you select the Quit option during the test, you will receive no score and no refund. PAPER-BASED TESTS You may cancel your scores from a particular test session if your written request is received at ETS within one (1) week after the test date. (ETS cannot honor requests to have scores from previous test administrations deleted from your permanent records.) To cancel your scores, complete and submit the Request for Score Cancellation form from the Praxis website at www.ets.org/praxis. You will not receive a refund of any fee when you cancel your scores. Once scores have been canceled, they will not be reported, nor will they be reinstated on your record. Cancellation of Scores by ETS COMPUTER-BASED AND PAPER-BASED TESTS ETS strives to report scores that accurately reflect the performance of every test taker. Accordingly, ETS's standards and procedures for administering tests have two primary goals: giving test takers equivalent opportunities to demonstrate their abilities, and preventing any test takers from gaining an unfair advantage over others. To promote these objectives, ETS reserves the right to cancel any test score when, in ETS's judgment, any of the following conditions arise: a testing irregularity occurs; there is an apparent discrepancy in a test taker's identification; the test taker engages in misconduct or plagiarism; or the score is invalid for another reason. Reviews of scores by ETS are confidential. When, for any of the above reasons, ETS cancels a test score that has already been reported, it notifies score recipients that the score has been canceled, but it does not disclose the reason for cancellation except when authorized to do so by the test taker and in certain group cases. Note: For paper-based testing, the retest option is available only to test takers in the United States and Canada. The arbitration option is available only for tests administered in the United States. Test takers whose scores are canceled will forfeit their registration and test fees, and must pay to take the tests again at a future administration. No record of score cancellations, or the reason for cancellation, will appear on their future score reports sent to colleges and universities. Testing Irregularities "Testing Irregularities" refers to problems with the administration of a test. When testing irregularities occur, they may affect an individual or groups of test takers. Such problems include, without limitation, administrative errors (such as improper timing, improper seating, defective materials, and defective equipment); improper access to test content; and other disruptions of test administrations (such as natural disasters or other emergencies). When testing irregularities occur, ETS may decline to score the test, or cancel the test score. When in ETS's judgment it is appropriate to do so, ETS gives affected test takers the opportunity to take the test again as soon as possible without charge. Identification Discrepancies When in ETS's judgment, or the judgment of test center personnel, there is a discrepancy in a test taker's identification, the test taker may be dismissed from the test center. In addition, ETS may decline to score the test, or cancel the test score if the documents completed on test day cannot be authenticated. If test scores are canceled by ETS, the test fees will NOT be refunded. Misconduct When ETS or test center personnel find that there is misconduct in connection with a test, the test taker may be dismissed from the test center, or ETS may decline to score the test, or cancel the test score. Test takers whose scores are canceled will forfeit their registration and test fees. Misconduct includes, but is not limited to, noncompliance with the "Test Center Procedures and Regulations," on pages 12-14 of this Bulletin. 17 SCORES & SCORE REPORTS (continued) Invalid Scores ETS may also cancel scores if, in its judgment, there is substantial evidence that they are invalid for any other reason. Evidence of invalid scores may include, without limitation, discrepant handwriting, unusual answer patterns, and inconsistent performance on different parts of the test. Before canceling scores pursuant to this paragraph, ETS notifies the test taker in writing about its concerns, gives the test taker an opportunity to submit information that addresses ETS's concerns, considers any such information submitted, and offers the test taker a choice of options. The options include voluntary score cancellation, a free retest, or arbitration in accordance with ETS's standard Arbitration Agreement. In addition, the test taker is sent a copy of a booklet, Why and How Educational Testing Service Questions Test Scores, which explains this process in greater detail. (This booklet is available to any test taker at any time on request from the ETS Office of Testing Integrity. Call 1-800-353-8570 or e-mail TSReturns@ets.org.) When essay scores are canceled because an essay is unusually similar to other test takers' essays, or because the essay contains unattributed material, only the retest score is reported for the essay; the score for the questioned essay is not released. Your essay responses on the writing or constructed-response items will be reviewed by experienced ETS essay readers during the scoring process. ETS reserves the right to cancel test scores of any test taker when there is substantial evidence that an essay response includes, but is not limited to, any of the following: --text that is substantially similar to that found in one or more other Praxis essay responses; --quoting or paraphrasing, without attribution, language or ideas that appear in published or unpublished sources; --unacknowledged use of work that has been produced through collaboration with others without citation of the contribution of others; --essays that are submitted as work of the test taker when the ideas or words have, in fact, been borrowed from elsewhere or prepared by another person. When one or more of the above circumstances occur, your essay text, in ETS's professional judgment, does not reflect the independent writing skills that this test seeks to measure. Therefore, ETS must cancel the essay score as invalid and cannot report The Praxis Series scores of which the essay score is an indispensable part. Confidentiality of Information COMPUTER-BASED AND PAPER-BASED TESTS ETS recognizes your right to control the information about you that is stored by ETS. Its policies are designed to safeguard your information from unauthorized disclosure. Your score report is intended only for you and for your designated score recipients. However, background information as noted on the registration form is reported to some states and institutions. To protect your right to control the distribution of your scores, reports will be released only at your specific written request and only to ETS-approved score recipients. Every recipient must be specified by you in writing on one of the designated forms or in correspondence. ETS will not release your scores at the request of institutions or agencies except: --for use in research studies approved by The Praxis Series program and that preserve your anonymity --when information is required under compulsion of legal processes --when a state's central regents office or board of governors requests copies of scores that have been reported to its member institutions --when test takers at a regular or special administration have been informed by the administrator beforehand that their scores will automatically be released to the state --when test takers have been notified in the Bulletin that a particular state requiring scores has arranged for all individuals tested in that state to have their scores sent directly from ETS --Under the Higher Education Act Title II section 207 of 1998, the U.S. Department of Education requires all states that require testing for licensure to provide that agency with annual performance data for students completing their state-approved teacher preparation programs. If you complete your preparation program in cohort year 2009-10, your preparing institution will collect and forward your Praxis score information to the state for inclusion in the federally mandated teacher preparation performance report. The report will contain aggregate data only and will not include any information that identifies test takers. --when a branch institution requests scores previously sent to its main office or vice versa Official score reports for properly designated recipients are sent directly from ETS to ensure the authenticity of the reports. Note that whenever ETS has confirmed that you have submitted a Praxis test score directly to an educational institution, agency, or district in satisfaction of one of its requirements, ETS will respond to requests for score verification from that recipient. Uses of Scores COMPUTER-BASED AND PAPER-BASED TESTS ETS does not set passing scores for the tests. States, institutions, and associations that use The Praxis Series tests set their own passing scores. Following the direction provided in the Guidelines for Proper Use of The Praxis Series(TM) and Related Assessments, ETS offers its score recipients professional counsel regarding the purpose and appropriate application of the test scores. ETS's agreement with state agencies and associations that use The Praxis Series tests for decisions about the certification of educators requires that test scores be used only in conjunction with other criteria. All states and associations that use The Praxis Series tests are surveyed to obtain information about the qualifying scores that are required on these tests. However, the ETS file is not official and may not reflect changes in test requirements that are implemented between surveys. If you have any questions about state or association requirements or passing scores, contact that state or association directly. Test Takers' Performance Data Test takers' performance data may be used in analysis samples, score interpretation data, group statistics, and research studies. Test takers' constructed responses may be used in ETS materials to train scorers, to help score recipients interpret scores, or to help test takers prepare for the test. In each instance, all identifying information will be removed. 18 The form fields in this next form are identified by several underscores. This form is best viewed/printed from the Adobe PDF version.
