The Praxis® tests measure the knowledge and skills you need to become a teacher. Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators exams are taken for admission to the professional education program at EKU (usually during your sophomore year). You may be able to use your ACT scores instead of taking the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators exams. OR, if you don’t make the state-required scores on the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators exams, you may be able to use your GPA or ACT scores for admission.
Near the end of your teacher education program at EKU, you are required to take additional Praxis exams to demonstrate your knowledge of teaching. These exams vary by teacher certification but usually include the PLT (Principles of Learning and Teaching Exam) and subject assessment(s).
