Admission II
Information and Timelines

• Praxis II
  You must have Admission I before taking the Praxis II exam.  This test focuses on your content knowledge – knowledge of the subject matter you will be teaching.  You should register to take the test once you have completed most of your content preparation and feel competent with your subject matter.  Register to take the test early enough to allow for the possibility of retesting.  This is not an easy test and does require preparation.

IMPORTANT - The Praxis II exam is only offered 5-6 times a year with test dates filling up quickly.  You must submit passing scores with your student teaching application.    There are no exceptions.  If you do not have passing scores at the time student teaching applications are due, you will not be allowed to student teach. 

• If you are student teaching in Fall of any given year, you must have passing Praxis II scores to submit with your student teaching application on March 1.

• If you are student teaching in Spring of any given year, you must have passing Praxis II scores to submit with your student teaching application on October 1.
