First Step

The first official step you will take in becomming a teacher is to get admitted to the College of Education. At Marshall University and at most schools this requires taking the Praxis I exam. Some students are exempted from this step bassed on their SAT/ACT scores. I however am not so lucky. The Praxis I is seperated into 3 parts, Reading, Writing, and Math. You need a Reading score of 174, a Math score of 172 and a Writing score of 172. There is an 8pt differeance in West Virginia's PPST scores compared to Virginia's PPST scores. I think that these scores should be unified so that no matter what college you go to in the US, the same scores are required. It would make transfering schools easier should you ever have to. The PPST is just a basic skills exam making sure you understand basic knowledge in thoes three main subject areas. SO what is West Virgina's standard for this set set below many other states such as Virginia?
