TExES Test Plans

Effective April 29th, new requirements are being introduced to better equip our future educators. This includes passing designated TExES exams before completing the educator preparation program.  

All candidates must pass at least one designated TExES exam to be eligible for student teaching and must also pass the PPR exam as part of the EDST course requirement.  

  • Candidates completing yearlong residency must pass at least one designated TExES exam to be eligible for the second semester of residency and must complete the PPR exam as part of the EDST Residency II course requirement.

Each Individual testing plan details prerequisites, such as passing a practice test, applying for test approval, and deadlines for completing the exams.
