Passing Score Requirements by State

Passing scores are not uniform across states.

Important: Passing score requirements for the AEPA History (NT302) are set individually by each state or licensing agency. A score that meets requirements in one state may not meet requirements in another. Always verify the exact passing score for your state at ets.org/praxis/states before registering.

Your raw score (number of correct answers) is converted to a scaled score that accounts for minor difficulty differences between test editions. There is no penalty for incorrect answers, so never leave a question blank. Note that some questions on the exam are unscored pretest items — these do not affect your score.
