PRAXIS I and PRAXIS II are standardized tests administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS).

PRAXIS I:
Candidates in all teacher licensure programs must complete the PRAXIS I skills tests in reading, writing, and math. Candidates must have passing scores for all skills tests prior to entering the program or provide an sufficient substitute (SAT).

PRAXIS II:
As a graduation requirement, all candidates must take the Praxis II. Candidates take Praxis II during the senior year and report the scores to Salisbury University and the State of Maryland. We recommend that you complete subject area content knowledge tests when you have completed all of your non-education major requirements.  Pedagogy tests should be completed near the end of your methods courses or early in your student teaching semester. The PRAXIS II specialty tests are required for the certification areas and graduation. It is expected that students leaving Maryland after graduation complete these requirements before graduation and apply for Maryland Certification.  

Salisbury University is a test site where students can take the test on paper. Students may also take the PRAXIS I as a computer-based test. To find a computer-based testing location,  please see: http://etsis4.ets.org/tcenter/ .
