| Mode | The Praxis Subject Assessments (formerly “Praxis II”): a family of over 90 subject-specific tests used for teacher licensure. Most are computer-delivered at a Prometric/ETS centre or via at-home testing, mixing selected-response with (for some subjects) constructed-response questions. |
| Frequency | On demand, year-round for computer-delivered tests (some have fixed windows). |
| Scoring & marking | Each test is reported on its own scale (commonly around 100–200). There is no single national pass mark — each state sets its own qualifying score, so the same score can pass in one state and not another. |
