The Praxis II Series is an Educational Testing Service (ETS) program that provides tests and other services for states to use as part of their teacher certification process. Students are required to take one or more Praxis II Series tests if they want to teach, or obtain a professional certificate in a state (including New Jersey) that includes these tests as part of its teacher licensure process.
\n Praxis II Series Registration Bulletins are available on the Internet through the Praxis Web site at www.ets.org\/praxis. You can contact ETS at 1-800-772-9476 or 1-609-771-7395.

PLEASE NOTE: Monmouth University must receive an official notice of your Praxis II test results directly from Educational Testing Service (ETS). When applying to take the Praxis II, you must indicate Monmouth University code #RA2416 as the Agencies To Receive Score Reports and Passing Information.
\n If you fail to report your scores to Monmouth University you will not be approved for student teaching.
\n When you complete the registration form for the Praxis, you MUST fill in the bubbles with your CORRECT SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. If you do not give your social security number or give the wrong social security number, you will NOT receive your license from the State of New Jersey.
\n IMPORTANT: ETS is no longer mailing Praxis II test score reports to individuals. You MUST download your Praxis II score report from ETS. It is very important that you adhere to the ETS deadline to download your score reports within the 45 day timeframe to avoid paying an additional fee. www.ets.org\/praxis: Your official score report will be available to you online via your Praxis account on the score report release date, approximately four weeks after the test date. Beginning with the September 2009 administration, online scores will be downloadable and available for forty five (45) calendar days from the score reporting date.
\n Monmouth University requires that all students applying for certification as a Teacher of Students with Disabilities must take the Praxis II test for Elementary Education or the appropriate Praxis II specialty test, e.g., Math, English, Social Studies, etc., for Secondary Education candidates.
\n ACTFL Language Testing
\n Students who are seeking certification in Spanish must pass the Spanish ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview in addition to the Praxis II World Language: Spanish test.<\/p>\n
Candidates MUST contact the Foreign Language Department to arrange for a proctor to obtain available dates and times.
\n After obtaining dates and times that the proctor is available, contact Language Testing International (LTI) to schedule the OPI.
\n If a candidate does not receive a score of Advanced Low or higher on the Spanish OPI they are required to wait 90 days before testing again.
\n LTI offers a one-time option to waive the 90 day waiting period between tests. A candidate must contact LTI to request this option indicating a valid reason and approval.
\n Test results are available from LTI anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks from the test date.
\n Candidates can pay an additional fee to expedite the test results (results available in 1 to 2 weeks).<\/p>\n
Students who are seeking certification in Chinese must pass the Chinese\u00a0ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview.
\n Students who are seeking certification in English as a Second Language (ESL) must pass the English language ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview and the Writing Proficiency Test (WPT).
\n The tests are administered by the ACTFL Language Testing Office and all information regarding registration, fees, testing, and test sites can be accessed by going to www.languagetesting.com or by calling the Language Testing International Office at 914-963-7110. Your Certificate of Proficiency must be submitted to the Certification, Field Placements and School Partnerships Office to be approved for student teaching.
