Tomorrow I take the praxis II in English Language, Literature, Composition: Content Knowledge. At 42 years old. Hmmm…my son already has a page full of test scores in his schoolnet account (at six and a half). Here’s a list of ALL the tests I can remember taking:
\n
\n7th grade
\nAn IQ test for my mom’s friend who was studying to be a psychologist.
\n
\n8th grade
\n*The SSAT
\n*the PSAT
\n*some vocational test that indicated I probably shouldn’t be an engineer
\n
\n11th grade
\n*the SAT (twice)
\n
\nEarly 20s
\nthe GREs (once)
\n
\nLate 20s
\nThe PPST (praxis one)
\nThe Social Studies Praxis (Praxis II)
\n
