HS Teacher.

Do teacher residents take praxis 2 for provisional license to come back for next year

Any teachers know which good test prep books or websites to use for STEM subject praxis exams?

Start with the free online info to make your study plan and you can take one online practice test from ETS.

+1 study plan and the online practice test should be enough to pass. The tequired passing raw score is not high.

If I am failed can I retake again in July for hired next year

I think any career transition is difficult. The ones who do it successfully are the ones who transition in their I’m still moldable 20’s or the I don’t give 2F’s I’m doing it for the cheap insurance late 50s.

Switching careers is very difficult for most people for the same reasons a mid career teacher moving out would flounder and probably fail in the corporate world.

Teaching is a job just like any other job. Period.

I just moved out of teaching into a corporate job and it’s so much easier. You’re off the mark.

+1, 15K more in pay and about 1/2 the work. I’ve had many days where I’ve worked for an hour or so, replied to some emails, touched base with some co-workers, maybe attended a meeting where no new tasks were assigned, took a 30-60 minutes lunch, and then pretend the work for a few hours.

Troll. This is what teachers think "corporate jobs" are like, not realizing that we don't all have the same job and our jobs are also very demanding, just in a different way from yours.

It is for some people. I’m a teacher and my husband “works” about 4 solid hours a day. The rest is “being around” to support the people on his team if they need it.

Talk to admin. You can take it one time in every month if you are still needing to get one passing score.

If your score was close to a passing score then just study hard and retake it as soon as you can.

Check with your school admin if you did not pass the Praxis II and ask about your options

Not PP but I will say sounds like a lot of my friends in corporate. You don't like that it doesn't follow your narrative that teachers are "lazy"
