EDUC-101 Praxis Core Review Course-Read/Writing Tests

This Praxis CORE Review Course is designed to help students prepare for the Praxis Reading/Writing Test. Passing scores on a basic skills test (Praxis, SAT, ACT, GRE) are required for: 1) An AAT degree, 2) admission to a four-year Teacher Education program, and 3) teacher certification in Maryland and most other states. Students must pass the Praxis exam if they have not received passing scores on another basic skills test. Students majoring in the Teacher Education transfer programs are required to submit scores from Praxis or other approved basic skills tests to the Social Sciences division office prior to the completion of the 30th credit hour. Credit count certification individuals, conditional teachers, and teacher education majors could benefit from this course.
