PRAXIS II Statement
Students completing Secondary Education Science (Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics) majors must currently meet the passing scores set for the:
Passing scores in these PRAXIS II exams are required for licensure in VT. While these tests are currently one hour tests, beginning in September 2007, the PRAXIS II tests for Biology, Chemistry and Physics will be replaced with two hour tests. The Earth Science will not change at that time and will be the same one hour test it has been.
