Out-of-session testing is offered for test takers whose state requires multiple tests for a single licensure area AND the required tests are offered in the same testing session.

To register for out-of-session testing, test takers must submit two registration forms (one registration form for each test), the registration fee (charged only once per testing year), and the test fee for each test (plus any late fees, if applicable). Please mail registration forms and appropriate fees to the attention of Debra Siwczak at the address below:

Registration forms and appropriate fees MUST be received at ETS prior to the late registration deadline. Please note: registration for out-of-session testing is not available during the emergency registration period.

Please allow 10 working days for the processing of your registration forms. You will receive two admission tickets in the mail (one for each out-of-session test you are registered for). The tickets will say the tests are offered at the same time because the tickets are generated from our system. However, 1 week prior to your test date you will receive an e-mail authorization letter indicating which test is scheduled during Session 1 and which is scheduled during Session 2. You must take the tickets, authorization letter, and appropriate identification with you on test day.

For additional information regarding out-of-session testing, please contact Praxis Customer Service at 1-800-772-9476.
