Choose your Praxis test

ETS’s Praxis tests are required for teacher licensure in most U.S. states. Each state chooses which tests it requires and sets its own passing scores. Elementary candidates most often take Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects (5001) and a Principles of Learning and Teaching test; many teacher preparation programs also use the Praxis Core.

Elementary candidates commonly take Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects (5001) and Principles of Learning and Teaching K-6 (5622); secondary candidates take a subject test and often PLT 7-12 (5624). Many preparation programs use the Praxis Core. Check your state’s requirements on the ETS website.

What is a passing score on the Praxis?

Every Praxis test here is scored from 100 to 200, and each state sets its own passing score for each test. ETS does not set them. Common requirements in November 2026: 5001 subtests 155–159, Core Math 150, Core Reading 156, PLT K-6 160 and PLT 7-12 157.

Can I take the Praxis at home?

Yes. Praxis tests can be taken at a test center or at home on your own computer, monitored online by a human proctor.
