Page: 512. A criticism of the current PRAXIS™ and state licensure tests is that these tests assess "low-level or marginally relevant knowledge and skills" rather than "deep knowledge of subject matter and actual teaching skills." The PRAXIS™ tests used by states for licensing of teacher candidates assess basic skills or general academic ability, subject-matter knowledge (such as math, English, science, or social studies), and/or pedagogical knowledge. In many cases, there is little consistency across states in which specific tests are used.
