Praxis Bridge

What is Praxis Bridge?

Praxis Bridge is an alternate passing option offered to teacher candidates when they've come close to—but not quite reached—a passing score on their Praxis exam. Instead of retaking the entire test, eligible candidates can complete a learning module to demonstrate their competency and receive a passing score.



Eligibility requirements

To qualify for Praxis Bridge, candidates must meet all of the following criteria:

• Have attempted any of the subtests within the Praxis Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects (5001, 5901, & 7001) series at least once.
• Have scored within 1 SEM* of the state passing score as defined by their state licensure agency.
• Want to teach in a state that has adopted the program.

*The Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) statistic for each Praxis Subject Assessment is available in section IV of the Understanding Your Praxis® Scores document.

How it works

The Praxis Bridge module is designed to enhance your content knowledge through:

• Precise identification of gaps
• Practice items with detailed feedback
• Knowledge check assessments
• Unlimited opportunities to demonstrate mastery

Upon successful completion, candidates receive:

• A Certificate of Completion
• An updated Praxis score report indicating "Alt. Passed" for the relevant subject area
