Indiana Test Requirements

Listed below are all the tests approved by the state of Indiana. For a complete list of content areas that can be added to any current Indiana instructional license through testing, please view Adding a Content Area by Testing.

If you test in Indiana, a copy of your Praxis™ scores will automatically be sent to the state's educator credentialing agency. Find your licensure area below to determine which test you need to take and see the minimum qualifying score. To learn more about a specific test, click the test title. Once you know your test(s), find out how to register for Praxis tests and read the Praxis test retake policy.

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

In general, unless it is specifically stated that a calculator is permitted or required for a particular test, calculators may not be used on any Praxis tests (see Calculator Use).

 Tests Required for All Licensure Areas (until August 31, 2013)

Please be advised that beginning September 1, 2013, all candidates must pass the CASA Basic Skills assessment for admission to Indiana teacher preparation programs. The Praxis I® tests taken after August 31, 2013, will not be honored for the purpose of admission to Indiana teacher preparation programs.

Passing scores for the individual Praxis I basic skills assessments taken on or before August 31, 2013, will be honored, and candidates who have not passed all three Praxis I basic skills assessments by September 1, 2013, will be allowed to register for the individual CASA basic skills assessment(s) in the area(s) they still need to pass. Under very limited circumstances, Core Battery scores are still accepted. Visit the Indiana Office of Educator Licensing and Development for more information.

If you wish to take all three computer-delivered Praxis I exams (5710, 5720, 5730) at the same time, select Praxis I Pre-Professional Skills Test: Combined Test (5750) when registering. Scores will be reported by individual test (5710, 5720, 5730).

Other Praxis I Alternatives:

The following additional assessments/routes are acceptable to document basic skills competency at the time of admission to a teacher preparation program:

• ACT with a score of at least 24 based on Math, Reading, Grammar, and Science
• SAT with a score of at least 1100 based on Critical Reading and Math
• GRE® General test with a score of at least 1100 based on Verbal and Quantitative
• Anyone with a Master's Degree from a regionally accredited institution is exempt

ACT, SAT and GRE scores do not include writing.
