The cost to retake a Praxis test is identical to the original registration fee for that specific exam. There is no universal "retake" discount; you pay the standard rate each time you register. Therefore, the total expense is determined by your specific test and any additional service fees.
Key cost components when you retake a Praxis test include:
- Base Test Fee: This is the core charge, which varies by exam. For example, Core Academic Skills tests cost $100 per section, while many Subject Assessments range from $120 to $160. You must pay this full amount again.
- Non-Refundable Registration Fee: A $70 fee is added to your total for each test registration, including every attempt to retake a Praxis test.
- Potential Late or Change Fees: If you reschedule your retake or register after the standard deadline, additional fees of $40 or more will apply.
Consequently, your total outlay to retake a Praxis test is the sum of these variables. A typical retake, including registration, often costs between $190 and $230. Budget for this full amount and invest in targeted preparation to avoid the financial and time cost of multiple attempts.
