The PRAXIS I:
Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) is required for teacher certification by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Passing the PPST is required as part of meeting the SOE Benchmark I: Acceptance into Teacher Education Program and Pre-student Teaching Experiences. Teacher candidates are not admitted into the teacher education program until they pass the PPST. The PPST is administered through the Educational Testing Service (ETS).
The PPST consists of three tests: reading, writing and mathematics. All three tests must be passed to meet Benchmark I requirements. These tests can be taken in a hand written format in traditional testing settings at designated sites and times or by computer at designated sites.
