What determines a passing score on a Praxis test?

A passing score on a Praxis test is determined by individual state requirements and varies depending on the specific test being taken. Each state has its own licensing and certification criteria for educators, which include defining what constitutes a passing score on the Praxis tests relevant to their certification processes. Additionally, different Praxis tests assess different subject areas and teaching skills, and therefore, the passing score may differ between subjects or levels of education. This state-specific requirement ensures that the scores align with local educational standards and expectations for teacher preparedness.
