Praxis I & II: Additional Information
Registration. Each time you register for a test, you will have
to pay between $85 and $150. Thus, to avoid unnecessary fees,
register for an exam only if you have had adequate time to
prepare. Nonetheless, if you take a test and do not earn a passing score, you can register to re-take that exam in subsequent
testing windows. For details on registration and scores, please
see the ETS website (See Resources for links.)
