For licensure in Indiana all teachers are required to take the Praxis I Reading, Writing and Mathematics tests. Ball State requires that students achieve a passing score on these three tests prior to admission to the 300 level teacher education courses. These tests can be taken by appointment at the testing center on campus (Testing Programs, Lucina Room 366, 285-1290) or on the Saturday testing dates at various location around the state. Teachers are also required to pass the Praxis II test(s) for their content areas for licensure and graduation from the Ball State University Teacher Preparation program. Praxis II tests must be taken on the Saturday testing dates. Where do I go for information regarding the Praxis Tests?
