UD Testing requirements
SAT and ACT scores may be used in lieu of or in combination with PRAXIS Academic Skills for Educators tests (CORE) scores. Students with a score of 1100+ on the SAT or a composite score of 24+ on the ACT will be exempt from PRAXIS CORE. A score of 550+ on the mathematics part of the SAT or 24+ on the mathematics part of the ACT exempts a student from the mathematics section of PRAXIS CORE. A score of 550+ on the verbal part of the SAT or 24+ on the English part of the ACT exempts a student from the reading and writing parts of PRAXIS CORE (the writing section of the SAT or the reading section of the ACT do not count in any way). It will be the student’s responsibility to supply a copy of the scores (either a printout from OneStop, if available, or a copy of the score) to their advisor to attach to the Upper Division application.
PPST Scores are acceptable only through 7/31/14. PRAXIS CORE tests are required thereafter.
Deadlines in the Office of Teacher Education will not be extended, nor will conditional admits to Upper Division be made, pending the receipt of scores. It may take several weeks to receive official scores from the testing company; therefore, students should plan ahead and take tests with plenty of lead time to ensure score will be received prior to deadlines, as only official score reports will be accepted.
PRAXIS CORE
The PRAXIS CORE covers basic reading, writing and mathematics skills required of all teachers. If scores on one or two tests of PRAXIS CORE are less than the minimum, a composite score of 468 may be used.
