Each
TExES exam usually consists of somewhere between 90 - 150 multiple-choice
questions, but some tests also include essays, short open-ended responses, and
other similar types of questions. The exam-taker will have five hours to
complete each exam session and each exam has one or two sessions depending on
the exam. Most exams are only one session. Each exam is scored on a scale of 100
– 300 with 240 set as the minimum score considered as passing for the exam. To
register for the exam, you must receive approval from an educator preparation
program, have received an approved teaching certificate from an in-state or
out-of-state authority, or have earned at least a bachelor’s degree in a field
related to education for grades 8 – 12 from an approved program. In order to
take the exam with a bachelor’s degree or higher, you must apply to receive a
temporary teaching certificate from the SBEC. If you meet one of these three
requirements, you can register with ETS online, by phone, or by mail. The
registration fee for any exam (except for the superintendent exam) is $82. The
registration fee for the superintendent exam is $164. The exact TExES exams that
are required in order to become a certified educator within the Texas school
system varies depending on the specific type of position that you are interested
in pursuing. There may also be other exams and fees that are required in
addition to those associated with the TExES exams in order to be certified in
the particular position that you are pursuing.
