Praxis II Information

What is Praxis II?

The Praxis II assessments measure subject-specific skills and content knowledge. Listed below are the subject areas the State is currently requiring Praxis II scores for certification. PSU recommends that those students seeking New Hampshire certification take these tests just prior to student teaching or in their senior year. Please submit a copy of your Praxis II scores to the New Hampshire Department of Education (R7660) and to Plymouth State University (R3690).

Students planning to apply for out-of-state certification should obtain assessment testing requirements for that particular state by contacting the State Department of Education in that state.

Nonstandard testing accommodations for test takers with disabilities, or whose primary language is not English, are available for those who meet Educational Testing Service (ETS) requirements.

Please note that the registration deadline for each test is about 30 days prior to the test date. Check www.ets.org/praxis for the exact deadline dates.

Registration Information, Praxis Dates, Locations and Fees

For information on the Praxis, please either pick-up a Praxis Bulletin at the OTC (Speare 215) or contact Education Testing Services (ETS) directly:  www.ets.org/praxis, 1-800-772-9476, or ETS-The Praxis Series, PO Box 6051, Princeton, NJ  08541-6051.

[expandable title="More About Ava"]

What do you like best about your major/academic program?

“I love that the professors are so willing to get to know me and help me out in avenues outside of their classroom. They want to see me succeed. Their excitement and energy about the subject matter is contagious.”

What is your favorite place to hang out on campus? Off campus?

“On campus my favorite place is definitely the HUB. There is always something going on there, even in the dead of winter! When I’m off campus I love hiking and with so many hikes close it is hard to pick just one favorite.”

If you could choose one favorite thing about going to school here, what would it be?

“Location: You can’t ask for better east coast skiing. With three mountains so close it is possible to go to class in the morning and head up to the mountain for some afternoon skiing. Every outdoor recreational activity you could possibly want to do is possible in Plymouth, be it hiking, rock climbing, or paddling. Being two hours outside of Boston is also key—it’s nice to have city life close too if you need a weekend escape.”
