5. Does your chosen four-year institution require Praxis 1 (or other tests)? What scores are
needed? What are the dates for Praxis 1 (or other tests)? Do these tests have to be completed
before the application deadline? If so, how long does it take to process test scores?

PRAXIS score requirements: Reading 156, Math 150, and Writing 162. I have to have them
completed before the interview or if I write a petition they will allow me time to complete
before the end of Fall 2018.
