Hi, I am a senior college student majoring in secondary education
history. The tests all depend on what your state requires for you to
get a teaching license. So if NY and KS require the same tests, then
you should not have to take any more. I'm not sure about if you already
have a license. I don't know though, what you are going to be teaching,
elementary or secondary. To find out whether or not your tests will
transfer to Kansas, you should try going to http://www.ets.org. When
you get to this page, you will see a heading that says 'Tests'. click
on praxis. On the next page, you will see a box which says State
Testing Requirements. Click on the state you wish to see and it will
explain what tests are needed to teach and obtain a license in that
state. I hope that this helps.
