The practice test is used to determine if candidates are adequately prepared for the actual TExES test. The College of Education at The University of Texas at Arlington is providing a real simulation of testing conditions.
See your program director.
All students must take a pedagogy test (PPR) and and least one content test to become a certified teacher, depending on program.
If you are a current UTA student who has transferred content coursework or who has graduated from another university and are seeking teacher certification, you will take your content certification exam through The University of Texas at Arlington. If you are not successful on the initial diagnostic administration of the state mandated content examination, UTA may require that you take additional content coursework before attempting the test a second time.
You need to register for the practice test at least 3 business days before the practice test date.
1) Download your study guide from the TExES web site (https://www.tx.nesinc.com/).
2) Register online for the exact date and practice test.
3) Arrive early for the practice test to sign in and be ready for the test.
Bring a number two pencil and scratch paper for the practice test.
No. The test booklets are used for subsequent tests.

The minimum passing score is 80% on all practice tests.
You will be required to meet with the appropriate content faculty member to determine how you can better prepare for the test. You may be required to retake the test again, if that will assist you in your preparation.
