The PRAXIS I exam is required to receive professional licensure for teacher certification and is created by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). The PRAXIS I or PPST means Pre-Professional Skills Tests. The test is offered continuously year round and ranges in cost from $90 to $150 depending on which test you are taking.
