Re: The Ks license tests are so hard to pass

Is this a Praxis II Test? I've taught for 16.5 years and will be
moving to the Topeka, Kansas area during the summer of 2009. I'm
so tired of taking a different test for every state that my
husband has been relocated to!!! I guess I'd better get started
now!
Thanks, in advance, for any help/suggestions you can give me.
