After Completing Your Exams...
All test takers will access their test scores via their on line Praxis account. This service is free of charge and will replace the mailing of a paper score report. You will be able to view, print and download your scores for 45 days from the score report date. For more information visit the Frequently Asked Questions About Praxis™ Test Scores.
We highly recommend that you save a copy of your score report for future reference, especially since graduates have been asked to include their Praxis II scores when applying for some teaching jobs.
