The Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators (Core) tests are required for application to ECU’s Partnership Teach model and later the Upper Division phase of the Teacher education programs at ECU. The 3 tests measure basic skills in reading, writing and mathematics. Students may take Praxis tests at computer testing centers around the state. Students should contact Educational Testing Service (ETS) at www.ets.org/praxis to schedule and pay for required tests.  Allow 4-6 weeks to receive scores.
