Tips for Praxis Registration:
- Test registration can be accessed on the Missouri Praxis Website. Microsoft Edge is the preferred browser.
- When you register, designate that scores be sent to your EPP (Missouri State University)
- Include your social security number when creating a profile so that your scores can be posted in MSU’s Banner system.
- Test takers receive a free Interactive Practice Test when they purchase their exam.
- Reschedule vs. Cancelling - The contract between ETS and DESE does not allow for a fee to be charged if a test is canceled three days or more before the scheduled date. Upon cancelation, 50% of the refund for the test fee will be processed immediately and the remaining 50% will be processed within 24 hours of cancelation. Refunds will be delivered using the original payment method within 5-7 business days. Tests canceled less than three days prior to the administration date will not be refunded. ETS has promised to refund fees previously collected for canceled tests.
