The Health Education test is designed to measure the professional knowledge of prospective teachers of health education in elementary schools, junior high schools, and senior high schools. Examinees typically have completed, or are about to complete, a bachelor’s degree program in health education, health and wellness, or similar program of study.

The content of the test is based largely on the teacher preparation standards from the Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE America) and the Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE). The questions invite examinees to recall basic knowledge and to critically apply education and health principles.

The 120 selected-response questions cover health education as a discipline, health promotion and prevention of injury and disease, community health and advocacy, healthy relationships and mental and emotional health, and health education pedagogy. This test may contain some questions that will not count toward your score.
