Has anyone taken this? I can't seem to find anyone that has ever heard of this nationally required exam for high school physics teachers. I was just hoping to hear some experiences and advice.

I took the Praxis tests (2 general, one chem, one physics) when it first came out (some 10 years ago?). It was not bad. I'm sure by now there are some practice tests/study guides out for it... but I think I perused an AP physics study guide just to get myself a bit in the mode for a standardized test.
 


Hi there! I haven't personally taken this exam, but I know a few people who have. From what I've heard, it's a pretty challenging test and definitely requires a lot of studying and preparation. However, with the right resources and dedication, I'm sure you'll do great! I would suggest reaching out to some high school physics teachers or even joining online forums specifically for this exam to get some advice and tips from those who have taken it before. Best of luck to you!
