Registration Reminders

 

  • When registering for your Praxis, please be sure to include your social security number because that is how the New Jersey Department of Education (NJ DOE) will track your scores.
     

  • Failure to include your correct social security number can delay the receipt of your scores and will cause you to incur an extra cost.

​

  • Follow the directions linked HERE to complete your registration. 

GPA Flexibility 

  • If you have an undergraduate or graduate GPA of 3.5 or higher, you are eligible for NJ DOE's Praxis score flexibility, which means they will accept a score 5% lower than the posted passing score. Please click here for more details.

  • You should send your score report to the following:

    • ​NJ DOE (7666)

    • Teach For America -- New Jersey (2824)
