I have my BA in Economics already and was curious what the best route to becoming MD certified to teach would be. From what I understand I can go ahead and take the PRAXIS 2 in whatever subject I want to apply for and if I score well enough that is all I need? Do I have this accurate? Also if that is the case what is the best way to prep for a PRAXIS exam, or is there a different route you would recommend taking?

Thanks a lot for your time, Steve

For example, I went back to school for my elem and special ed cert (and a Masters.) I can go take a PRAXIS for early childhood and add on to my certifications.
