Praxis Core Exemptions
You can submit passing scores for the Praxis Core or an approved exemption such as qualifying or previous acceptable SAT, ACT or GRE scores, or hold a 3.0 GPA.
We strongly suggest taking the SAT, ACT or GRE in place of the Praxis Core. Exam dates are not as frequent, so we encourage you to take your choice exam as soon as possible.
