I have to say that I'm glad Arizona doesn't do the PRAXIS. We have our own retarded state tests.
(I say retarded because passing a test doesn't mean you are going to be a good teacher. Taking all the coursework doesn't mean your going to be a good teacher. I just think it's stupid that we, as education majors, spend all that time and money on schooling but yet it's not 'GOOD ENOUGH' to teach children until you take and pass the state tests. Lame!)
My best friend failed the PRAXIS the first time she took it. She failed the subject knowledge part (I think). I was with her in NC when she got the scores and she was absolutely devastated. I just held her hand, rubbed her back while she cried. What sucked is that she had to take the whole darn thing over again. In Arizona if you pass the professional and fail the subject you just have to take what you failed over again.
I haven't heard any good things about the PRAXIS.
