Important Notes:

  • The School of Education at Central cannot recommend teacher candidates for certification until they have successfully passed the required Praxis Subject Assessment 
  • While many Central students pass on their first attempt, others may need to retake it—and that’s okay! We strongly encourage you take the exam early, giving yourself time to retest if needed before finishing your program. 
  • You must wait one full month between test dates. This helps to ensure a fair and consistent testing process for everyone.
