Pre-Admission Content Tests (PACT)
Significant changes to Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §227.10 (a)(3)(C) were approved by the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) on October 10, 2008. The new rule, which went into effect on December 14, 2008, allows degreed individuals who have not been enrolled in an Educator Preparation Program (EPP) to take Pre-Admission Content Tests (PACT) to demonstrate content proficiency for possible admission into an EPP. Taking PACT does not ensure admittance into a program. EPPs may have additional admission requirements.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Beginning January 5, 2009, if you hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university and are not yet enrolled in an EPP (educator preparation program), you are allowed to register to take a content test for purposes of admission into the following types of EPPs: alternative certification programs, university alternative certification programs, or university post baccalaureate programs (without content courses). To register for a content certification test for the purpose of entering an EPP, go to the ETS TExES online registration system. Prior to test day, be sure to familiarize yourself with test day procedures including test center ID requirements and test center procedures and policies.
