How to sign up for the Praxis I test: The easiest way is to call the ASU testing center with a credit or debit card to sign up or to come in person with a check (they cannot accept cash). 262-6801. The combined test costs $130 (4 hour test). Students can also pay $160 to take the three tests at different times. If due to your SAT scores you only need to take one test, that costs $80. If you only need to take 2 tests, that costs $120. Each test takes about 2 hours. Tests at the ASU testing center are computer-based only.

More information is available at www.testing.appstate.edu

If you wish to take a paper-based test, you will need to go to a testing center outside of Boone, such as the one at Lenoir Rhyne College, or perhaps a testing center near your home town if you find one listed on the ETS website. Go to www.ets.org/praxis then click on Register for a test (under Praxis I). Then scroll down for information on how to sign up online for a paper-based test.
