    In Ohio you wouldn't even be able to be hired to teach math
    without passing the Praxis first. That happened to a friend
    of mine. She passed PLT and finished student teaching, but
    kept missing MS math by a few points. She could not be hired
    in any district in this state until she passed that test.
