Frequently Asked Questions:

How many TExES/ExCET tests do I take? Applicants must take at least 2 tests (content teaching field and Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities). Foreign language (Spanish, French) and Bilingual applicants must take a third test (Texas Oral Proficiency Test - TOPT or Bilingual Target Language Proficiency Test - BTLPT).

When do I take my TExES/ExCET tests? Applicants will take each test during or after each phase of training. During or after phase I (content class), applicants will take the content/teaching field TExES. During or after phase II (online PPR class), applicants will take the PPR TExES.

May I test in any area that I desire? No, you may only test in areas that you have been trained and for which you have been previously approved. You will not be allowed to register for an exam for which you have not been previously approved.

Where can I find information on testing sites, fees, registration bulletins, study guides, etc? Please see the ETS official website: http://www.texes.ets.org

When can I challenge exams outside my area? Once you possess a standard certificate, you may challenge any exam, choosing "Additional Certification by Examination Only" as the reason for testing when registering.
