What is the Praxis II test?
The Praxis II, also known as the NTE, is a set of rigorous and carefully validated assessments that provide accurate, reliable information for use by state education agencies in making licensing decisions. Where the Praxis I is designed for those entering a teacher education program, the Praxis II is designed for those individuals entering the teacher profession and is generally taken one full semester before graduation. Subject Assessments measure candidates’ knowledge of the subjects they will teach, as well as general and subject-specific pedagogical skills and knowledge. Principles of Learning and Teaching is also included in this group.
