Alabama Highly Qualified Status

The state of Alabama will accept scores achieved on discontinued tests for a period of time after transition to the new test. Please visit the Chart of Discontinued Tests and Scores for a list of which tests may still be accepted. Alabama requires official score reports directly from ETS. Please refer to the policy for acceptance of discontinued tests for more information.

The first step in documenting highly qualified teacher (HQT) status is to hold the required certificate for the teaching assignment. Then, you may take the appropriate Praxis II® test for each subject area in which you seek HQT status.

Most tests are offered in both Session 1 and Session 2. Refer to the fees page for test that are restricted to a particular session.

The chart below shows the Praxis II® tests that meet the requirements of the Alabama Model for Identifying Highly Qualified Teachers and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, along with the minimum passing scores.

Note: Many special education teachers are not required to document Highly Qualified status. Before registering for a test, special education teachers are advised to talk with their employer about the need to document Highly Qualified status.

For more information about becoming highly qualified, visit the Alabama Department of Education website.

Notes:

  • In general, test codes that begin with "5" are delivered in computer format; codes that begin with "0" are delivered on paper.
  • "CDT" refers to computer-delivered tests. "PDT" refers to paper-delivered tests.
