TExES/ExCET Exam Q&A

What is assessed on TExES/ExCET tests?
The State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) develops the Texas Examination of Educator Standards (TExES) and the Examination for the Certification of Educators in Texas (ExCET), in close consultation with Texas public school educators and teacher educators. The TExES/ExCET assessment is designed to ensure that Texas public school educators have the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their jobs.

How do I register for a TExES/ExCET test?  
Visit the Texas Educator Certification website or call ETS Customer Service at 1-800-205-2626. You may also send your request via email to texes-excct-inquiries@ets.org

How can I find out about the Texas Oral Proficiency Test (TOPTTM)?
Persons seeking certification in Spanish, French, or bilingual education in Spanish or French must demonstrate speaking proficiency in the appropriate language through the TOPT. Registration bulletins are available at no cost from the National Evaluation Systems. TOPT preparation manuals for French and Spanish are available through www.ets.org

What if I still have questions about the tests?
