Praxis Speech Communication case studies
Praxis Speech Communication · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Speech-Language Pathology (5331) test is an ETS Praxis Subject Assessment used in educator certification. ETS describes its purpose as independent practice as a speech-language pathologist in all primary employment settings, including schools, hospitals, clinics and private practice, so it is aimed at candidates who need a certification or licensure score rather than at general audiences. The registration page lists the test fee as $146.00. Because states and agencies set their own certification requirements, ETS advises candidates to check state requirements before registering so they book the right test. The Praxis Speech Communication case studies are 5 cases and about 3,521 words.
