Preparing for the PAPA (Level I) Exams and Praxis II (for Secondary Education and Middle Grades students)
The first level of the teacher certification exams, called the Pre-service Academic Performance Assessment (PAPA), consists of reading, writing and math sections. Many questions about these tests - test-prep strategies, sample questions, and test objectives - can be answered on the Pennsylvania Educator Certification Tests site

The PLATO Simulated Test System PLATO is an Internet accessible test-prep tool that can assist Secondary Education and Middle Grades students in preparing for the Praxis II certification exams.
