Licensure
PRAXIS II - Registration Information
Test requirements for Ohio are determined by the Ohio Department of Education's Standards in effect at the time you apply for licensure regardless of when you completed the academic requirements. It is important that you obtain current information from the ODE Website regarding specific test requirements at the time you register for Praxis to ensure that you are requesting the correct test(s).
In September 2010, ETS began administering a new version of the PRAXIS exam to meet the updated requirements set forth by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). All administrative licensure applicants are required to take and pass the new exam.The new exam is called "Educational Leadership: Administration and Supervision" (code #0411). The qualifying score for the new PRAXIS exam is 149. Please note: Students who have taken the old exam (#0410) will be allowed to use those scores to apply for an administrative license for at least the next year. Currently, we are waiting on a decision from the College as to whether or not old exam scores can be used beyond that.
The ODE site has a document about PRAXIS II testing information (pdf) to confirm that you are requesting the correct test(s). Information about the test will be on page 15.
Registration information is available on the Praxis Web site at http://www.ets.org/praxis. Ohio specific testing information can be found by selecting the state from the drop down menu.
Be sure to have your scores reported directly to the OSU Registrar's Office by indicating the reporting code RA1592 on the registration form or selecting "Ohio State University" in the drop-down menu if you register online. Do not have your scores sent only to the Ohio Department of Education.
Allow approximately 6-8 weeks for the results to be posted to your transcript. The paper copy of your score report is not legally acceptable nor can we obtain your scores from any other source.
If you have additional questions, contact JoVanna Zanders, the Licensure Coordinator for the College of Education and Human Ecology, in 172 Arps Hall (614-292-2742).
