Teacher Test
Got my Praxis II test scores back yesterday.
In Biology, need a 157 to pass in the state of Indiana.
I received a 173. (out of a possible 200)
Of the 150 questions, I missed 36 of them.
Of the 150 questions, there were approximately five that I had no idea what they were asking about, now mind you, I answered every question and could have guessed correctly on at least one of those. There were a lot of questions about specific hormones and their functions in various processes.
But I am glad that I studied. And grateful that Becky-nee put me up for the night.
So today, I went and talked to the head guidance counselor at the high school. She said that with my praxis scores I could just go to the DOE website and apply for a license.
Really? That seems too easy.
Okay. I've been to www.doe.in.gov and it's not 'easy' because I don't know how to answer their questions. Mostly, because I don't know if they're asking about my knowledge of biology or secondary education type classes.
Okay, I'm not seeing anything on the IDOE website that says you can just take a test and poof apply to be licensed. Perhaps I'm missing it, or she was wrong. I'm not really sure. I think I need to find a person who had either done this before or specializes in understanding state legal crap.
