Testing and Assessment

PRAXIS

The Praxis Series tests measure teacher candidates’ knowledge and skills. The tests are used for licensing and certification processes. Each state and licensing organization determines its own certification and Praxis passing score requirements. For more information about certification requirements, visit the PRAXIS website and their State Testing Requirements website.

For tests proctored by Miami Dade College for external vendors, under certain circumstances, arrangements for auxiliary aids and modifications may be available to students. For these tests, auxiliary aids and modifications are subject solely to the testing vendors availability, policies and approval.
