About the PRAXIS Series exams
The PRAXIS Series exams are offered by computer-based testing and in paper-pencil format. K-State only offers the paper-pencil format of the PRAXIS Series. Exams are divided into two areas:
PRAXIS I
Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) is offered in two (2) sessions. Session one (1) is divided into two one-hour sections: the PPST Reading or Mathematics test is offered in the first hour, and the Mathematics test is offered in the second hour of Session 1. Please note: The mathematics test offered in the first hour of Session 1 is designed for test takers who are registered to take the mathematics test without taking the reading test on the same test day. If you registered for both mathematics and reading, you must take each test in the order described above.
