ETS Recognition of Excellence Award
The ETS Recognition of Excellence (ROE) Award honors test takers who achieve exceptional individual performance on selected Praxis II® tests. It is awarded to test takers who meet or exceed the ROE target score determined by the top 15% of candidates who took the test between 1998 and 2003.
The ROE Award is an incentive to encourage the development of highly qualified teachers and should not be used as a criterion for making decisions about state licensure, hiring or promotions.
If your score is eligible for the ROE, you will automatically receive a certificate from ETS, and the award will be noted on all your score reports.
There are 11 Praxis II tests for which you can earn an ROE. Tests and their associated target scaled-scores are as follows:
Note: If you earned an ROE score on tests administered between September 1998 and August 2003 and would like to receive an ROE certificate, download and complete the Recognition of Excellence Request Form (PDF). Test takers who take the ROE-eligible Praxis II exams after 2003 will automatically receive their certificates and do not have to submit the form.
