Which specific test is indicated as necessary for all candidates?

• A. GRE
• B. Praxis
• C. LSAT
• D. MCAT

Answer: (B)

In teacher certification, a common universal requirement across many programs is a licensure exam designed specifically for teaching. Those tests are built to measure readiness to teach and content proficiency for becoming a licensed educator. The Praxis fits that role, with Praxis Core covering foundational skills and Praxis Subject Assessments addressing specific subject areas. The other tests are intended for admissions into graduate or professional programs—GRE for many fields, LSAT for law, MCAT for medicine—and are not universally required for all teacher candidates. So the necessary, broadly required test for all candidates is Praxis.
