Praxis Core Exemptions
Embedded Files
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.
Residents are eligible to waive the Praxis Core requirement by submitting qualifying scores from one of the exams listed below:
