Re: Question for kmrdz-Is French Praxis different by state?
Posted by kmrdz on 5/31/08
Hi RR,
Well I took the Praxis test for NJ (while living in MN with an
impending move to NJ) in 2002, but got a job in a private
independent school in Manhattan. I did have my MN license at the
time. Didn't do the OPI until now as I may look for something part-
time in NJ (currently staying home with my one year old son). My
results from the Praxis will expire in 2 years, so I thought I'd
better do the OPI which I understand was and still is required -
maybe because I came from out of state...I've now got to follow
through and complete the application process. That's all I know at
this point.
Hope that helps a bit...
