Dear Ashland University Students:
Welcome to the Praxis II Web site! After talking with many education students at AU, I discovered that many of you have questions about the Praxis tests and how to do your best when taking the exams. In response to your concerns, I designed this page to assist you with the Praxis II tests. If you would like additional information placed on the site or have comments, please e-mail me at the address listed below.

Be sure to attend the
preparation
sessions
held several weeks before each Praxis II exam. We've revamped
them
so that you'll have a "hands-on" experience that includes taking sample
tests, discussing study skills and strategies. Given your site
(Ashland,
Elyria, etc.), look for the times and locations of the sessions in
e-mails
and posted flyers. All of the following seminars are
identical, you need only attend one
session.

Plan
to take only one test per day. While students often take 2 and
even
3 tests per day, it is difficult to do your best when you're
undertaking
a "test marathon."
You
may want to take the "content" area tests while you are taking content
area related courses and the PLT during your student teaching
experience.
Testing
accommodations can be made. If you have appropriate
documentation,
you may be given additional time, etc. when taking the tests. For more
information, refer to the ETS web site Test
Takers with Disabilities. If English is not your first
language, be sure to read Examinees Whose
Primary Language Is Not English for a possible
extension in the amount of time you have to complete a given test.
While
you do not have to have passed all applicable Praxis II exams to
graduate from Ashland University,
you do need to have done this in order to get a teaching license.
