Testing Information

When registering for any Praxis exam, you must indicate that your scores should be sent to UCA. Select the option with code 6012  to send scores to the UCA Office of Candidate Services.  UCA’s Speech Language Pathology program (SLP/AUD) also uses the Praxis exams. Don’t mistakenly send your scores to that program.  Be sure you select the proper code.

NOTE:
Arkansas does not have an 8-digit state ID. Leave this field blank when registering for a test. If you enter a code or any text in the 8-digit field, you will not be able to continue with registration. Later in the registration process, you will select your score report recipients.

Praxis requirements vary from state to state.  Be sure to register for the tests required for Arkansas. Click here for the Arkansas Praxis requirements.
