TExES Combined and Component Tests

Certain combined TExES tests cannot be taken in conjunction with their TExES component tests. You should either take the component test(s) or the combined test. These combined tests are listed in the table below. Combined tests contain portions that overlap with their respective component tests. In many cases, the certificates gained through passing these tests will also overlap. If you are enrolled in an EPP, consult with your advisor, director or certification officer at your program for further information on which test(s) you should take.
