It is divided into three segments, corresponding to three stages in teacher development: Praxis I Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST): admission to teacher training programs (required by 31 states) Praxis II Subject Assessments (required by 40 states) and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) (required by 21 states): licensure for entering the profession and for teaching specific subjects Praxis III Classroom Performance Assessments: first year of teaching. The PPST exam is given in two formats: computer based (by appointment at designated test-centers) or paper-based (approx. every other month at the test centers).
