ExploreAbout this exam
The Praxis Audiology exam is an ETS Praxis subject assessment used within the Praxis teacher-certification program. ETS describes Praxis as assessing core teaching skills and subject knowledge for educator licensing in the United States, and each state sets its own requirements for which tests candidates must take, so candidates should confirm the specific test and score requirements with their state before registering. The exam is intended for candidates seeking licensure or certification connected to audiology practice in school and related educational settings; the precise eligibility and score requirements are determined by the adopting state or agency rather than by this page. The test is delivered in a multiple-choice format, and content is organized around foundations and professional practice, prevention and identification of auditory disorders, assessment of auditory function, intervention and management of auditory disorders, and pediatric and educational audiology. Preparation typically involves reviewing the published test outline and format, using free study companions and study guides to plan a schedule, and then working through official Praxis test-prep products such as practice tests and digital flashcards. Registration, fees, score reporting, accommodations, and test-day logistics are handled through ETS Praxis. This page is an independent study resource and is not affiliated with or endorsed by ETS.
What you'll study
About Praxis Audiology preparation
What is the format of the Praxis Audiology exam?
The exam is administered in a multiple-choice format. ETS publishes the test outline and format information, and candidates should review the free study companions and study guides to see the content categories and question style before scheduling. Confirm current delivery details, including test center or at-home options, through ETS Praxis when you register.
How long is the test and how many questions does it have?
Those specifics are not stated in the source material available here, so they should be verified directly with ETS Praxis before you plan your pacing. Do not rely on secondhand figures. Once you know the timing, practice under timed conditions using an official practice test so your pacing is realistic.
What score do I need to pass?
Passing scores are set by states and agencies, not uniformly by ETS, and ETS directs candidates to check state requirements and passing scores by state. Look up the requirement for the state where you are seeking licensure, because the threshold and even the required test can differ from one state to another.
How much does the exam cost, and are waivers available?
Fees are set by ETS and listed on the Praxis registration pages, and ETS also publishes a fees and waivers page. Because prices change, check the current fee on the ETS Praxis site at the time you register rather than relying on an older figure. Waiver eligibility and application steps are also described there.
Can I retake the exam if I do not pass?
ETS provides a reschedule, retake, or cancel section within Praxis test-day planning, which is where retake rules and any waiting periods are described. Review that page before your test date so you understand your options and any deadlines. Requirements can vary, so confirm the current policy with ETS directly.
How should I order my studying?
Start with the free study companions and study guides to learn the test format and outline, then build a schedule around the content categories. Follow with official Praxis prep such as practice tests, digital flashcards, or an online course. Use practice-test results to identify weak content areas and revisit those before retesting.
What are common reasons candidates struggle?
A frequent problem is preparing without ever reviewing the official test outline, which leads to studying topics that are not assessed. Another is skipping timed practice, so pacing collapses on test day. A third is ignoring state-specific requirements, including which test and score your state accepts, which can waste a registration.
What should I expect on test day?
ETS publishes test day planning guidance covering test center testing, at-home testing, ID requirements, calculator use, and disability accommodations. Read the ID requirements and, if testing at home, the step-by-step tutorials in advance. Note that ETS has announced a registration maintenance window on Sunday, November 1st, 2026, from 12:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
