New Hampshire: Praxis Test Requirements

As of the September 2007 test administration, the New Hampshire Department of Education will automatically receive scores for test takers who take a Praxis test at a test center in New Hampshire. Test takers not testing at a test center in New Hampshire who would like New Hampshire Department of Education to receive their scores must list the code 7660 on their registration form to designate New Hampshire Department of Education as a score recipient.

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, as explained in Praxis I Overview.

The computer-based tests (CBT) 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.

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.
