Oregon: Praxis Test Requirements
Important News
In the 2009-10 testing year, ETS will administer new versions of the following Praxis™ tests: Library Media Specialist and Speech Communication. The new tests cover the same content as the previous tests. However, scores are reported on a different scale, so requirements will vary from the previous versions. All scores for discontinued tests are reportable for 10 years. Consult the table below for the exact dates the new versions of these tests will be administered as well as the specific score requirements.
The first digit of the "Session/Test Code" indicates the session during which the test is offered in the 2009-10 testing year. There are no session numbers for the computer-based tests, which are given by appointment.
You may take each Computerized PPST® once per calendar month up to six times in a 12-month period. If you violate this restriction, the scores from your retest will not be reported and your test fees will not be refunded. This applies even if you canceled your scores on a test taken previously.
The computer-based tests are offered by appointment through a national network of Prometric™ Testing Centers (many Prometric Testing Centers are located inside Sylvan Learning Centers) and selected institutional sites. Visit Computer-based Test Centers for the locations near you.
* This test only offered on November 14, 2009
**First administration of this test will be January 9, 2010
