Before registering for your Praxis Subject test, it is important to be mindful of your teaching program deadlines. You want to ensure that you are allowing yourself plenty of time to prepare for the test. In order to register, you must first create an online account. Once you have created the account you can move forward with selecting your desired subject test, date, and location. ETS also offers the option to register by mail or phone. (There may be additional fees for these options) Visit the ETS Registration page to learn more about registering (2).
Registration fees
The cost of your Praxis Subject Test will vary depending on the subject area and the number of tests you are planning to take. The test fees range from $50-$209.
Fee waiver
Currently, ETS offers a fee waiver for students who meet the following criteria:
- Enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program that requires the Praxis Subject Test
- Receiving financial aid along with a FAFSA report that shows an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of $3,000 or less.
In order to fully qualify for the fee waiver, you must submit the required forms prior to your test dates. You are only allowed one fee waiver per year. Fee waivers are limited each year and issued on a first come first serve basis.
We know how costly testing fees can be. Check out our fee reimbursem*nt program! We cover up to $100 of your expenses when you apply to one of our partner programs.
Where can I take the test?
ETS offers two options for taking the test. You can currently take the test at an official testing center or at home via a remote testing proctor. Both the home and in-person tests cover the same information. Visit the Praxis Location page to find a testing center near you.
If you are planning to take the test on-site, be sure to register for your desired test date in advance. Also, arrive a few minutes early to ensure you aren’t rushing in right before the test start time. The testing center Administrator (TCA) will provide you with all the necessary test equipment and instructions.
Some physical testing centers may require proof of vaccination to enter the testing facility. Please check with your testing center for official health and safety information before your test date.
Can you take the test online?
Yes, you can take the test online. If you are taking the test online (from home) your process will be slightly different. (1) In order to qualify for at-home testing, you must live within the United States, U.S. Territory, or Canada and meet the in-home equipment requirements.
Once you have registered for the test through ETS, you will receive an email with additional registration instructions from ProctorU, the company used by ETS to administer at-home testing. When you have completed the ProctorU registration process, you can then schedule your Praxis Core test.
Test accommodations
There are several accommodations available for Praxis Subject test takers. Accommodations include things such as extra testing time, individual testing rooms, interpreters, and braille tests. A full list of accommodations can be found on the Testing Accommodations page.
In order to qualify for accommodations, you must submit an Accommodation Request Form. Accommodations are normally given to test takers with disabilities and health-related needs.
Accommodation requests normally take four to six weeks from the time your required forms have been submitted. Also, accommodations can not be applied to tests that were scheduled before submitting your application and request form.
