The Praxis Business Education: Content Knowledge test is intended primarily for persons planning to teach in business education programs. The test concentrates on the core of knowledge and cognitive skills common to all business teachers, including content that contributes to general business and economic literacy. Also included are questions about business education in general and questions about areas of specialization within business education.

An examinee planning to take this test should be prepared to encounter ethical and technological concepts as well as emerging trends and issues. Because of the variations among business education programs, some questions may refer to areas you may not have studied. Therefore, no one is expected to answer all of the questions on the test correctly. In addition, this test may contain some questions that do not count toward your score.

This test has been developed using the National Business Education Association (NBEA) National Standards for Business Education (2020). In general, the topics concern areas broadly defined as business and economic literacy; professional business education, including knowledge, comprehension, and application of pedagogical techniques; and business specialization, including specific background and application knowledge considered essential for a business education teacher.

The examination is typically taken by examinees who have completed a bachelor’s degree program in education with appropriate coursework in business education.

Examinees will be allowed to use a calculator during the examination; however, calculators with QWERTY keyboards will not be allowed.
