Score reporting

If you test in Nevada at a test center or at home, and your Praxis profile address is in Nevada, your score report will be sent automatically to the Nevada Department of Education.
If you test outside Nevada or your Praxis profile address is not in Nevada, your scores are NOT automatically sent to the Nevada Department of Education. To have your scores sent to the Nevada Department of Education, you must select the Nevada Department of Education (state code 8670) as a score recipient when you register.
For all methods of Praxis testing, to request additional score reports you must select the Nevada Department of Education (state code 8670) with each additional score report request.

Those who took Elementary Education tests 0011/5011 and 0012 are required to meet the approved passing scores of 158 for 0011/5011 and 135 for 0012. Those who took 5019/0019 are required to meet the approved passing score of 155.
