With many changes sparked by COVID-19, the Educational Testing Service (ETS) has opted to allow teacher-candidates to take select Praxis tests.<\/p>\n<p>Passing the Praxis test is a requirement in the state of Nevada.

Just as when taking an in-person Praxis test, you will take the test online and the test format will appear identical. The test must be taken from your home or another secure location. Prior to scheduling your test, it is required to make an appointment with a human proctor to monitor you while you take your test. To be eligible to take the test, the computer on which you intend to take the test must meet the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ets.org\/s\/cv\/praxis\/at-home\/equipment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">equipment requirements<\/a>.
