Content Test Attempt Deadlines for Student Teaching (Initial Licensure Programs Only):

Official score reports issued directly from the testing vendor must be received by OTEL by December 1 for Spring Student Teaching, and by July 1 for Fall Student Teaching. Please plan your testing date accordingly. To determine when your score will be released, based on testing date, go to the Praxis website at Getting Your Praxis Scores (For Test Takers) (ets.org).

You must list Purdue University (1631) as both your educator preparation program AND as a score recipient institution.

PLEASE NOTE: The release of your exam score to our office can take one to six weeks from your testing date. Exams which include a constructed response take longer for the score to be released. Exams which include a constructed response are indicated with double asterisks.

Important Information

  • You must always code Purdue University (1631) as a score recipient when you register for all Praxis exams. Failure to do so will incur additional costs to have your official score(s) resent.
  • If you test in Indiana at a testing center and your Praxis profile address is in Indiana, your score report will be sent automatically to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE).
  • If your Praxis profile address is not in Indiana, or you test outside of Indiana, or use the Praxis test “At Home” option, your scores are NOT automatically sent to the IDOE. To have your scores sent to the IDOE, you must select the Indiana Department of Education (state code 7238) as a score recipient when you register.
  • For all methods of Praxis testing, to request additional score reports you must select Purdue University (1631) and/or the IDOE (state code 7238) with each additional score report request if you want either Purdue and/or the IDOE to receive it. There is an additional cost to have your official score(s) resent. There is an additional cost to have your official score report resent from the testing vendor.
