There are actually 3 PRAXIS sets:
PRAXIS I: Reading (multiple choice), Writing (written and multiple choice) and Math (multiple choice)
PRAXIS II: your specific subject area. Some of these tests have "exercises" that require more than a multiple choice answer.
PRAXIS III: "Classroom Performance Assessments comprise a system for assessing the skills of beginning teachers in classroom settings. ETS developed Praxis III for use in teacher licensing decisions made by states or local agencies empowered to license teachers. Under the guidelines that govern its use, Praxis III may not be used for the purpose of making employment decisions about teachers who are currently licensed."
I don't think Maryland uses PRAXIS III, if they do, they can kiss my butt right about now LOL. For our program, you have to pass PRAXIS I and II to graduate, because getting our liscense is a part of our requirements, which is cool, kills two birds with one stone kinda thing. However, some graduate programs I've seen, I don't recall them having to take PRAXIS II, just PRAXIS I (for those programs that help people become certified)
