I am currently a new graduate with a chemistry degree. I
passed my Praxis II tests for chemistry and am considering
taking the Physics Praxis test to be certified in Physics
also.

To be certified to teach Physics, do I need a minimum
number of credits in Physics also? Chemistry and physics
curriculum overlap significantly so may of the core
courses are the same.

Thanks for any help!

Bob,
You would need to have 18+ credits in physics and pass the
praxis test(s) in physics as an additional certification
(once you have your p0rimary chem teaching certification).
I'm figuring you do have the education courses and student
teaching completed?
What a great combo that would be.

Could you please give me advice on how to study for the
praxis chemistry exam. Are there any particular subjects I
need to review?

Get a copy of the Praxis review guide (VERY simplistic when
compared to the exam..) but it gives you a good topic list;
also get a high school chemistry textbook and read it!! (I'm
not being sarcastic - this is what I did). Modern Chemistry by
Holt is a good choice. Make sure you are familiar with basic
