ETS Testing Information

Applicants must achieve a passing score (165) on the National School Psychologist Test administered by the Educational Testing Service. Test scores remain valid for nine (9) years after the testing date. Test scores older than nine (9) years are considered expired and would require the retaking of the examination. Applicants who took the exam prior to its revision in September 2008 must have achieved a passing score of 660 or higher.

The School Psychologist test, code 10401, is administered through the Praxis Series of Educational Testing Service. Visit "Test and Test Dates" for information about the test, available test dates, and a practice test.

Note: The National School Psychologist Test was revised and rescaled in September of 2008. Material on the test was updated, and the scoring scale for the exam was changed. However, the same content is covered by both exams. A passing score reflects the same number of correct answers on both versions of the exam. All scores on the discontinued test are reportable for nine (9) years.
