Can you take the Praxis online?

Yes. More than 100 Praxis tests, including all the Core tests, can be taken at home on your own computer, with a live proctor watching online. Appointments are available seven days a week. At-home testing is only for people testing in the US, and the rules about your computer and your room are strict.

What you need

  • A desktop or laptop with Windows 11 or later, or macOS 11 or later. Tablets, Chromebooks and phones aren’t allowed.
  • The ETS Secure Browser, installed before test day. Work or school computers often block it.
  • A working webcam, microphone and speaker, and a steady internet connection. Run the ETS equipment check ahead of time.
  • A private indoor room with a closed door, a clear desk and a normal chair. Cover any windows.
  • One small whiteboard with an erasable marker, or one sheet of paper in a clear plastic sleeve. Plain paper isn’t allowed.
  • An acceptable photo ID, and a phone or handheld mirror to show the proctor your screen.

How check-in works

Check-in takes about 20 minutes. You can start up to 15 minutes early. If you haven’t started within 12 minutes after your appointment time, the test is cancelled and you don’t get a refund.

You’ll photograph yourself and your ID, show your ears and wrists, use a mirror or phone to show your screen, and give the proctor a 360-degree view of the room.

Rules during the test

  • Your ears must stay visible. Face masks aren’t allowed. Religious headwear is fine if your ears can be seen.
  • No phones, notes, books or headsets. Close any screen-sharing or remote-access apps.
  • Most tests have no scheduled break, and the clock keeps running during any break you take. Core tests allow restroom breaks between tests.
  • At the end, you erase your whiteboard in front of the proctor.

If something goes wrong

If you can’t fix a technical problem before the test starts, it’s cancelled and the fee isn’t refunded. That’s why the equipment check matters. If your connection drops during the test, it usually reconnects on its own. If not, tell your proctor. If you prefer fewer risks, a test center is the other option.
